These iconic avantgarde metallers return in 2013 with a new album, entitled Target Earth, four years after the credible Infini, released in 2009. In their most recent release the Canadian natives return, musically, to the old sound of Dimension Hatröss and Nothingface putting up a great musical showdown of progressive and technical metal.

I know the band went through some tough times but the last few releases have been subpar. I am not asking for a return to the mighty Nothingface, Angel Rat, Outer Limits era or anything but...but...ahhh, fuck yea I am!!!

I for one totally agree with Rod, Killing Technology and Dimension Hätröss is where VoivVod was at its way best and most original.
They once again proved that when they played Dimension Hätröss in its entirey at the last Roadburn. They totally kicked the set they played the before's ass.

Well, to me: Original Voivod =/= Interesting Voivod. Their early works, however technical, are just dull to me. I haven't listened to Angel Rat yet, but nothing they've done tops The Outer Limits for me, even if it is their most commercially acceptable release.

The Puter Limits is almost pure Pink Floyd rip off. Might as well listen to Pink Floyd instead of a wannabee band

Their early work was interesting and had bite both those things are totally lacking in the rest of their catalogue.

People who say their earlier work is dull have obviously not heard Dimension Hätröss live and having their asses torn apart due to massive kicking.
Fantastic show.

Lol, you meanie! I think I had this conversation with Marcel a while ago. I do like their early straight up thrash era but when they "cross-overed" is when I became a HUGE fan - a top 5 band of all time for me. Progressive metal was my genre of choice in the late 80's and early 90's so what Voivod was doing then was fantastic.

Snakes voice has really fallen off the last few releases. How did he sound? Do you have a link to that set?

The current guitarrist played some mean riffs live at Roaburn both times I saw them. That I can definitely guarantee. Let's see what the band will bring but at least the dude can definitely play.

Dan Mograine is a very skilled guitarist no doubt. But without Piggy I remain doubtful, I'll definitely be checking this out anyway, Like I say I hope they prove me wrong.

Dan Mograine does much more than simply embody Piggy's unique style; he takes it a technical step further and completely reinvigorates the band. Mix in Blacky's return and you have their their best record in ages, standing right up there with the likes of Killing Tech, Hatross, and Nothingface.

Sorry to gush, but I'm a fan that spans decades and I'm stoked. Welcome back, Voivod!
