Earlier this month, Rouyn-Noranda-based Guhn Twei released their excellent third album Une ville, une mine, un cancer. Building on their previous albums, 2023’s Glencorruption and 2024’s Capitale de l’arsenic, the band talks about the past, present, and future destruction of the environment as well as the health of the city’s citizens with some of their sharpest and most vulnerable lyrics to date. The band also kicks out some of their heaviest instrumentation to date, blending together elements from death metal, hardcore punk, and noise to create evocative soundscapes that bring you to toxic lakes, hospitals, and right outside the copper smelter itself. Une ville, une mine, un cancer is available everywhere now via Slam Disques. Guhn Twei will be touring Quebec this spring. Through the power of the internet, Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with vocalist and bassist Simon Turcotte to talk about the album, songwriting, incorporating the sounds of the city into “Suicide collectif”, and so much more.

On our most recent tour we experienced a number of physical and mental health issues, and need time to address them before we go back on the road. We’ve been touring for 15 years and have never had to make a call like this, and even though it was an impossibly hard decision it feels like the right one in this moment. We truly apologize to any of the UK fans that were looking forward to seeing us, and promise that we will do our best to make it up to you when we can. Please still go support Omnigone who will put on an amazing show.
