do you know Voivod ?

Post by dizzle-rock »

I used to listen to them back in the day but I had forgotten about them over the years....didn't know they were still around really.

Voivod 'Nothingface' (below) from 1989

I always thought they were were heavy but quirky....never really a one genre type sound.

Anyway, I just happened to stumble onto them again when they played a single from their latest album on a music channel I was checking out.

Damn they have a sound I am really digging. Check them out if you are looking for something off of the beaten path.

Their latest album 'The Wake' (below) came out Sept 2017.

I know I've got a copy of Outer Limits somewhere in my CD collection.

Killing Technology and Dimension Hatross are my favorites \m/ The tracks I have heard from the latest album sound really good as well!

Voivod is always good for a listen time to time. Been a fan since the 90's. And the new album is REALLY good too..

HUGE Voivod fan here. I saw them with Soundgarden on the Nothingface tour. :love:

Piggy was a great and unique guitar player. While I love their heavier stuff I find myself listening to the proggier stuff on Angel Rat and Outer Limits more often.

Just a great, truly unique band.
