Metal Mind Productions presents the re-release of seventh studio album by Voivod - "The Outer Limits" (1993). This was the last album Voivoid recorded with their vocalist Snake until, exactly 10 years later, they released their self-titled reunion album in 2003. "The Outer Limits" features a perfect blend of past formulas with new and innovative ideas. On this album, Voivod mixed various thematic and musical elements with ease, which resulted in their most powerful, diversified, and mature release. This album is a benchmark for Voivod. Includes a cover of Pink Floyd's song, "The Nile Song" (from the album "More"). The booklet features a 3D graphic design, which can be viewed through special 3DG glasses that come along with the CD. The new digipak edition is limited to 2000 copies. Digitally remastered using 24-Bit process, released on a golden disc.
The band has issued an update regarding their upcoming live appearances.
"A lot has happened since the band's last live appearance. The band had taken time off to begin writing what would become the album Katorz. In April 2005 while the new album was in progress, guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour became ill before recording began and sadly died of colon cancer. It took awhile to recover from the sudden passing of Denis before Michel 'Away' Langevin, Denis 'Snake' Belanger and Jason 'Jasonic' Newsted could begin to assemble the songs from the demos and create Katorz.
Discussions of a tribute show and possible guitar players for it followed, yet it just did not seem right to perform without Denis, but time does help heal wounds and this summer Voivod feel it is time to perform the music Denis helped create once more.
Canada's Voivod have posted the following update on their website:
"There remain 13 songs that Denis D'Amour (Piggy) had written with the band that have yet to be recorded. Michel Langevin (Away) and Denis Belanger (Snake) will track the last songs this spring bringing all the past and present members together to participate in a homage to the guitar legend of Piggy and the legacy of 25 years of a brotherhood forged by exploring metal, rock and punk ethics with an other worldly premise. Jean-Yves Theriault (Blacky) and Eric Forrest (E Force) have eagerly agreed to contribute bass tracks along with Jason Newsted (Jasonic). The End records and Nuclear Blast will release this final record once completed. Voivod may play select shows after the release as a thank you to the fans and to bring closure to a great career."
Montreal's pioneering metal band Voivod have posted new videos on YouTube.com for the songs "Polaroids" and "The X-Stream" from their 2006 album "Katorz" on The End Records.

Voivod - Polaroids
Voivod - The X-Stream
"Katorz" was released in July of 2006, an album assembled, recorded and released by the band (drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, singer Denis "Snake" Belanger and bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted) and producer Glen Robinson using demos left by founding guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour who succumbed to colon cancer in August of 2005.
The new Voivod video for the track 'The Getaway' is available online here. The song is pulled off of the band's latest album, "Katorz", out now in North America via The End Records and in Europe through Nuclear Blast.
The footage was pulled from the 2003 American tours and the 2006 recording sessions of "Katorz" (The End Records). Voivod are working on a video for 'Polaroids' with Banger Productions (Metal: A Headbangers Journey) and then we will follow that up with a video for 'The X-Stream'.
In a recent update, drummer Michel "Away" Langevin. said that that Voivod are "hard at work on the reissues (due out on The End Records next year). We will start with the Sanctuary ones (Rrroooaaarrr, Dimension Hatross and Killing Technology). Each album will be remastered and will come with a bonus Iron Gang DVD. The pre-production for the follow-up to Katorz will start this winter. Also, we are still trying to coordinate a tribute show for 2007."
Former Voivod bassist Jean-Yves "Blacky" Theriault joined Canadian technical death metallers Martyr on stage at their CD release show (November 11 in Montreal, QC at the Medley) to perform 'Brain Scan' (from Voivod's "Dimension Hatröss" album) in front of 900 fans. You can check out the video here.
Blacky also laid down the bass tracks for Martyr's cover of 'Brain Scan', which can be found on their latest album "Feeding The Abscess", which was released via Galy Records on October 31st. The album will be release in the US on February 27th via Lumberjack Mordam Music Group.
Canada's pioneering metal band Voivod have set July 25 as the North American release date (via The End Records) for their much-anticipated album 'Katorz.'
The legendary band has worked alongside veteran producer Glen Robinson (Voivod's 'Nothingface,' Tea Party') to create an album that will continue the legacy of their fallen friend/bandmember/guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour.
'Katorz' was recorded at Multisons studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada where Robinson and the band - drummer Michael "Away" Langevin, singer Denis "Snake" Belanger and bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted - utilized all of the guitar parts that founding guitarist "Piggy" had recorded for the record on his laptop with ProTools before his death last summer.
