A complicated version of Voivod. Sounds good to me. I am getting it
It doesn’t “shock” me, I just don’t really like it. The closest I’ve come to shock from listening to music was hearing None so Vile (which I love)
REVIEW TERRORVISION BY ABORTED!!!
Voivod’s best! A masterpiece!!
Not impressed at all
Guitars and bass are working overtime and to my ears are faithful to the Voivod mission. Sadly, I think the drumming is less than inspiring and I can’t really get around Away’s “granny” approach to drumming, which really hasn’t progressed since the late 80’s. Maybe he could play along with a drum machine or something.
This dude is a fucking joke.
Martin, you are always way too nice to say that the new Clutch album sucks. And probably the new Voivod ain’t all that. 4 skulls…pfffhh. Without the 10 point heaviness and awesomeness scale I may never know what you really think. I may be in heaven though “watching” you review an album as compared to…well, no, bullshit, I’ll never admit it. And on that note, I may have never learned a single thing about real writing if this is the format I was introduced to you on.
very very nice, I will definitely listen to the rest of their catalogue
Hey Banger tv, you said that after the patrean had reached the 5000goal you would do one “mainstream” review and one that is dedicated to the undergroung! Now, Uriah Heep, Deicide and Voivod are not undergroung bands (maybe not even Krisiun), that means you owe as two undergound bands in a row! Thank you and keep up the good work you guys! Greetings from Greece!
some of the guitars on the tracks I’ve heard on here remind me of 80s Descendents, of all bands.
Dragonlord definitely isn’t Symphonic Power Metal, it’s very much Symphonic Black Metal by the book, and it’s actually not bad. Fans of old Dimmu Borgir would do well to check it out.
You should listen to Virus from Norway. Their music is Voivod inspired. I think Voivod took some inspiration back from Virus. It’s pretty cool.
I’m really surprised how much I’m digging Negatron and Phobos these days – that’s not supposed to happen.
Instrumental sounds alright but fuck i cant stand the vocals
Shit, they’re from Jonquiere.
Nobody’s from Jonquiere (well, apparently Voivod is from Jonquiere).
Long live Voivod.
Very well made review. I was never into Voivod. But now I’ll give them a try.
Haha Daniel Mongrain is my friend’s guitar teacher at my college. Small world huh?
This album is fantastique!!
First heard Voivod while tripping on LSD and playing badminton in 1987. They still rip.
I just want to say that… this new record one of the many reasons why Voivod still one greatest bands of our time. Truly exceptional band.
Dragonlord definitely isn’t Symphonic Power Metal, it’s very much Symphonic Black Metal by the book, and it’s actually not bad. Fans of old Dimmu Borgir would do well to check it out.
This got me back on a Voivod kick. First it was an Outer Limits/Angel Rat tagteam in the car. Outer Limits won. BUT… I’ve put aside al the old stuff now and oscillating between – and loving – all three later phases: Eric Forrest, Jasonic, Chewy. They really are in sets and… ok, long story, I listen to HOURS or Thomas Sheridan, to the point where my internal dialogue is now in his Irish accent, but he – and Gordon White, and Alan Moore – talk about artists executing chaos magic… Voivod definitely do magic with this world they paint.
I love VOIVOD. Best thing out of Canadia. Visionary, Ahead of their time influential FUCKING BRILLIANT. Should be headlining stadiums imho. RIP PIGGY
So which one was the underground review this week? Voivod or Uriah Heep?
Orb Confusion?
DUUUUUH DUUUUUUIIY DUUUAAAAAAHHHHHH (like if ya get it)
By the way, to clarify, I’m getting asked way too much, but the old Voivod book I did, Worlds Away: Voivod & the Art of Michel Langevin… I haven’t sold copies since about 2011. BUT, I think they still are for sale, but it’s through the official Voivod and Michel site. And yes, there is a German version, also a big hardcover!
Two thumbs down for the Porcupine Tree tee shirt 🙂
Great review! This LP seems to be the next Voivod masterpiece. Can’t wait to get this, waiting on my shipment as we speak 🙂
Can’t wait to get my copy. Voivod does no wrong in my eyes.
Complicated obtuse Voivod= best Voivod.
Fucking masterpiece!
I really love what I have heard so far. So creative and a breath of fresh air in a way. Voivod just kick ass! m/
I have his book on Away’s artwork! Worth it.
As previously mentioned in the comments, this album (like Target Earth) is ‘KillingDimensionFace’! Plenty of classic 80s era elements but forged in a fresh approach.
Back in 1987 I heard my first Voivod album – Dimension Hatross & it blew my fucking mind. I was already into metal but this was from another planet. Then I heard Killing Technology & my brain exploded.
Voivod are true innovators.
Nice, respectful review! One of the few instances where this stuff helps an artist who deserves all the respect in the world! One ofy favorite bands for over 30 years! Waiting for my copy to arrive, but I am loving what I have heard so far! An acquired taste for some! Elements of all their classic albums! Insane! Gods!!!!
