This is experimental, atmospheric, instrumental Progressive Rock. I’d say it’s somewhere between Pink Floyd’s stranger moments, Opeth’s softer moments, and Kaki King’s acoustic playing and minimalist compositions.

- Armen / The Metal Observer


When you listen to a band as talented and creative as Augury, you tend to check out the other projects the band members have been involved in. Here we have Humanoid, a side project of guitarist Mathieu Marcotte who chooses to do something completely different, something closer to post-rock, ambient and classical. How successful the attempt is, you can only know when you listen to it as words cannot define the beauty of this release. All I can tell you is that it is definitely beyond what you can imagine or expect.

- shantanupatni1991 / Metal-Archives.com


When one thinks of ambient music, especially in the rock genre, one thinks of calm and composed background music. ... Though, at times calm and serene, giving the listener a feeling similar to that of sitting in a field watching the cloudless and calm sky there is for the majority of time a sense of underlying tension, strong and uncontrollable turbulence and disturbance. The atmosphere leaks of chaotic confusion and turmoil like that of someone lost in endless catacombs thriving desperately to get out and the point black inability of someone to comprehend and understand what stands in front of him.

- Vaibhavjain / Metal-Archives.com


A unique and wonderful acoustic album with some heavy stylistic additions of progressive metal. As he also displays with his main line of work in Augury, Mathieu Marcotte's ability to create celestial spacescapes within this realm of music is truly uncanny.

   About Humanoid

Originating from Abitibi, in the north of Quebec, Canada, Mathieu Marcotte started playing guitar in 1990 at the age of 14. His growing passion for both metal and classical music inspired him to compose with electrical and classical guitars at the same time. After putting together a few compositions, he decided, accompanied by local musicians, to form the death metal band “Spasme”, who during their 7 years of existence, were know by touring throughout Quebec. Two recordings were produced by the band, that is to say the demo “Traumatism” (Indie, 1995) and the album “Deep Inside” (Neoblast rec, 1999 / Galy rec, 2001).

2001 marked the beginning of a new era as Mathieu chose to quit the formation “Spasme” to concentrate on the elaboration of a new group. It is with the collaboration of experimented and talented musicians from the Quebec metal scene that he founded “Augury” in 2002, an extreme/ progressive/ metal band. Weaving a musical style proper to themselves, “Augury” is noticed internationally with the release of “Concealed” (Galy Records, 2004), album which was worthy of a nomination at the MIMI’S gala in Montreal and an excellent reception from critics, medias and fans of metal music throughout the world. Two Canadian tours took place thereafter with “Quo Vadis” and “Unexpect”, respectively in 2005 and 2006. During this intense period where the band played many shows, they took the time to record a “promo-ep” consisting of two new tracks and release the European version of “Concealed” on Adipocère Records.

A research of sound, combined with great musical curiosity, led Mathieu to develop an idea in the beginning of 2006: Set-up an acoustic project combining all of his progressive, classical and metal influences.

“HUMANOID” , is the new instrumental solo project of Mathieu Marcotte. On this album, the guitar is treated as an orchestra creating dynamics and textured effects which interweave with one another. These acoustic / space / metal songs with varied influences such as: “Cynic, Pink Floyd and Opeth” are enriched by the collaboration of these guests:

Dominic “Forest” Lapointe, from the bands “Augury, Quo vadis and Atheretic”, on fretless bass. Chaoth, from the band “Unexpect”, on 9 string bass. Tommy Mckinnon, from the band “Neuraxis”, on percussions and weirdnesses.

Originaire de l'Abitibi, dans le nord du Québec, au Canada, Mathieu Marcotte commença à jouer de la guitare en 1990 a l'âge de 14 ans. Sa passion grandissante pour la musique métal et classique l'inspire a composer a la fois avec les guitares électriques et classiques. Après avoir réunis quelques compositions, il décide, accompagné de musiciens locaux, de former le groupe death metal " Spasme ", qui au cours de 7 années d'existence, se fit connaître en tournant à travers le Québec. Deux enregistrements sont produits par le groupe, soit: la démo " Traumatism " (Indé, 1995) et l'album " Deep inside " (Neoblast rec, 1999 / Galy rec, 2001).

2001 marque le début d'une ère nouvelle alors que Mathieu choisit de quitter la formation " Spasme " pour se concentrer à l'élaboration d'un nouveau groupe. C'est avec la collaboration de musiciens expérimentés et talentueux de la scène métal québécoise qu'ils fondent en 2002 " Augury ", groupe métal / extrême / progressif. Tissant un style musical propre a lui même, " Augury " se fait remarquer internationalement avec la parution de " Concealed " (Galy rec, 2004), album qui leur vaut une nomination au gala des MIMI's à Montréal et un excellent accueil de la part des critiques, médias et fans de musique métal a travers le monde. Deux tournées canadiennes ont lieu par la suite avec " Quo vadis " et " Unexpect ", respectivement en 2005 et 2006. Durant cette période intense où le groupe offre plusieurs spectacles, il en profite également pour enregistrer un " promo-ep " de deux nouvelles pièces et sortir la version européenne de " Concealed " sur Adipocere records.

Une recherche sonore combinée à une grande curiosité musicale, entraine Mathieu au début 2006 à concrétiser une idée; monter un projet acoustique alliant toutes ses influences progressives, classiques et métal.

" HUMANOID ", est le nouveau projet solo instrumental de Mathieu Marcotte. Sur cet album, la guitare est traitée comme un orchestre créant des dynamiques et des effets texturés qui s'entremêlent les unes aux autres. Ces pièces acoustiques / space / métal à influences variées tel: " Cynic, Pink floyd et Opeth " sont enrichies de la collaboration de ces invités:

Dominic "Forest" Lapointe, des groupes " Augury, Quo vadis et Atheretic ", à la basse fretless. Chaoth , du groupe " Unexpect ", à la basse 9 cordes. Tommy Mckinnon, du groupe " Neuraxis ", aux percussions et bizarreries.

Également: Martin Lacroix : réalisation de la pochette. Michel "Away" Langevin : Illustrations intérieures. Hugues Deslauriers : ingénieur de son / producteur.
