Thinking Gargoyle is an original Grunge/Metal/Experimental/Other project from Quebec, Canada that started arround autumn 2004. It's sound could be described as a blend of several types of metal, dark spooky ambiance, grunge, experimental elements, industrial-like noisy sound effects and parody songs or just stupid tunes. The name "Thinking Gargoyle" comes from a gift (a gargoyle that seems to think) Vincent was given by his sister. Vincent wanted to give a name to his musical project, but had no inspiration. He was sitting in his room, and he got the idea looking at the gargoyle...

[edit] Biography
Thinking Gargoyle was created in Drummondville in 2004 by Vincent Lavallée-Milot (all instruments +vocals and mix).
Before 2004, Vincent Lavallée-Milot used to make some sound experiments, but it is in 2004 that he really started to mix and record several experiments. One of these projects was the famous song "Heul Tapis Rouge" that was finished at the beginning of 2005. After that, he got the idea of doing a remix of a video game song (from the game "Hexen"), which finally turned out to be a totally different song; longer, heavier and very hard to compare to the original. Vincent’s song was called “Seven Portals”, like the old video game song (probably one of the rare things left of the original Hexen song). Unfortunately, because of the lack of good equipment, Vincent Lavallée-Milot was never fully satisfied by the result. As he says : “I can’t say I dislike this song, but I must say it doest make the feeling I wanted to create, probably because I didn’t have the equipment I would have needed at that time.” Back at that time he didn’t have an electric guitar, so he used to add bad fuzz to an acoustic guitar on the records. Also, the microphone he used was not professional.
In 2006, a couple of weeks after the Christmas vacation, Simon Rousseau and Vincent Lavallée-Milot started to play guitar together, and finally decided to form a band. Their first band name was “The Liars Lying Dead”, but they finally got bored of it. Back at that time, they were mostly playing covers, especially from Nirvana. It is in summer 2006 that they really started to organize things, create songs more seriously and change the band’s name. Malaise Douteux was born. Later they have added two fake characters : Bob Lefault to “play” the drums and Jack Lemorre to “play” bass. Since these two people are not real, drum beats and bass lines are composed by Vincent Lavallée-Milot.
In 2007, (3/4/2007) after some problems and because of the different musical taste of the members, Vincent decided to restart the Thinking Gargoyle project.
On march 22, Malaise Douteux was officially disbanded, and Thinking Gargoyle took back what was his work (almost everything)...
[edit] Projects
[edit] Thinking Gargoyle projects
Thinking Gargoyle plans to modify and re-record “Seven Portals” to make it sound a lot heavier, spookier and with a better sound quality. The same will be done with the stupid song “Heul Tapis Rouge”. He is also working on several songs, but these will be announced later.
[edit] Projects originally for Malaise Douteux
Thinking Gargoyle is currently working on a song called “Insanecerity” (mix of two words, “Insane” and “Insincerity”), a song about people who think they are the best and that everything is nice in our world.
