VOIVOD is a Canadian heavy metal band from Jonqui\u00e8re, Qu\u00e9bec. Their musical style has changed several times since the band’s origin in the early 1980s. Starting out as a speed metal band, VOIVOD have added a mix of progressive metal and thrash metal to create their own unique metal style, and are credited as one of the “big four” Canadian thrash metal bands, along with SACRIFICE, RAZOR and ANNIHILATOR. They are considered by many as one of the most influential metal bands from the ’80s, influencing and gaining praise from multiple bands and across numerous genres.<\/p>\n
VOIVOD found mainstream success in the late 1980s with their fifth studio album, “Nothingface” (1989),which is the band’s only album to enter The Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number 114.<\/p>\n
VOIVOD’s long-awaited official documentary, “We Are Connected”, received its world premiere in July 2024 at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal, Quebec. Canada.<\/p>\n
VOIVOD has been touring in support of its latest album, “Morg\u00f6th Tales”, which was released in July 2023 via Century Media, The Orchard and Sony Music.<\/p>\n
The band’s 2022 release, “Synchro Anarchy”, garnered significant acclaim, winning the 2023 Juno Award for “Best Hard Rock\/Metal Album” in Canada.<\/p>\n
Once more recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio, mastered by Maor Appelbaum and produced by VOIVOD, “Morg\u00f6th Tales” includes fresh studio re-recordings by the band’s current lineup of nine especially selected, not-so-obvious picks from the band’s hyper-classy and extremely diverse back catalogue (between 1984 and 2003) as well as a brand-new song and the album’s title track, “Morg\u00f6th Tales”.<\/p>\n
A new book, “Always Moving – The Strange Multiverse Of Voivod”, was released in November. Written by Jeff Wagner, it celebrates the extraordinary 40-plus-year career of VOIVOD and draws from exclusive interviews with band members, managers, producers, record label reps, family, peers, and musicians profoundly shaped by VOIVOD’s ever-mutating sound to tell their full, fascinating story.<\/p>\n
