The Voice had never gone so heavy! The American version of the vocal contest can rest for a while, as its French-Canadian mate, La Voix, has just taken the world aback with an out-of-the-box audition by a black metal vocalist, Louis-Paul Gauvreau.

After a bit of headbanging for a warm-up, the singer cut down to ferocious vocals of Necrophagist’s ‘Stabwound’ straight away. Watch the fearless vocalist kill it on La Voix below.

Louis-Paul Gauvreau is the vocalist of the black/death metal band The Unconscious Mind. In the video you can see all the judges either shocked and enjoying the unusual performance or simply puzzled and not sure how to react to such a different genre from what they normally hear and evaluate.

The swift stormy performance finally got one of the judges curious enough to hit the red button and turn around. Surprisingly, the black metal number was appreciated by Isabelle Boulay, a French-Canadian pop singer. Let’s see what she’s got in store for the heavy vocalist, as now Gauvreau is in her team.
