THISQUIETARMY is the music project of Montreal-based artist Eric Quach, a pioneer of the Canadian experimental music scene. Revolving around improvised guitar drone and by combining textural & structural elements of ambient/noise, electronic/shoegaze, post-punk/krautrock, black/doom metal, Eric’s music creates a wide range of dynamic soundscapes which oscillates between repetitive dreamy minimalism, multi-layered noise textures and electronic industrial beats. 

Jim Demos grew up in the west-end’s industrial part of Winnipeg, among rusted train yards and crumbling storage facilities. In 2009 he moved to Montreal and started working on his solo project Hellenica. Hellenica fuses dark instrumentals utilizing elements of drone, doom, chant and spaghetti western. He also dabbles in the world of improvisational ambient music.

“Houses of Worship”, Eric and Jim’s first album as a duo, was recorded in 2020 and released in 2021. In 2022, they decided to rebrand and adopted Houses of Worship as the name of the project. A follow-up album is expected this spring.
