I am so glad to see that my old, ancient stud vest made it to an official Voivod video. It shows on about 5 minutes point in the video. It is over 30 years old, and I gave it to Snake at their Tampere gig one and a half years ago. I am so happy to see that my silly vest got a new life with Snake actually wearing it. This was a win-win for all of us. My heart is melting.
For real. I fantasized about an audition but when his name popped up it's like...What's the point? He's perfect for the band. Voivod were always gestalt.
@@AlissonSilva-ox4uz I was going to say Nothingface one of the greatest of theirs. That album still holds up. Also Killing Technology, but the writing on Nothingface it's crazy af.
Same here. Read raving reviews of Angel Rat and Outer Limits, bought and listened to these albums as well as Dimensions, was fascinated, but never quite got to the core of this awesome band. Until >20years later Target Earth and The Wake gave me the key.
@@hattorihansen603 funny i scooped Angel Rat for 50 cents at a thrift store and they became one of my favorite bands of all time. fuckin weird world lol.
My friends and I bought RRROOOAAARRR when it was new. We heard something special there, especially in Körgull. When Killing Technology was released, it changed metal forever and transformed my entire perception of music. Not just heavy music: ALL music. As for me, yeah, I'm an old motherfucker at 56, but not even close to growing up yet. Music like this helps keep your youth intact. BTW, I hope everyone here has heard the latest Sepultura monstrosity of awesomeness, Quadra. I think I hear some Voivod influence creeping around in there...
I don't think that Voivod is the proggiest metal band around at all, I think they bring something truly unique to the table that is really hard to classify. To this day they are a profound influence on experimental metal of all spectrums from rockier stuff to black/death - heck the bassist even did a collab with Virus.
How in the hell could anyone give this a thumbs down? If you don't like Voivod fine, just move along. The fact they're still pumping out new music and taking chances is utterly fantastic!
un titre extraordinaire à l'origine, mais cette version avec les cuivres est tout simplement sublime. et ce solo de guitare... je reste sans voie. du grand Art
Celtic Frost used horns on many songs too, but this is on another level. This is sick, and I kinda love it. I must watch this again. Voivod was always hard to understand at first, but when you get it, you love it. They have surprised me once again.
Celtic Frost horns were more otherworldly and cinematic. Definitely amazing, especially on "Innocence and Wrath!" These Voivod Horns are more Jazzy with cinematic qualities from the 1940s! Someone in the comments here said: "Ben Hur meets H. P. Lovecraft (the early 70s Prog-Band?)."
He studied Piggy's guitar methods and understands Piggy's approach more than anyone in the world, plus he brings his own wonderful approach and skills! I didn't know about the recent album "The Wake," but I'm so blown away by it now! Chewy really does fit in. But Piggy was always the main architect!
He's got a more "Jazzy" vibe -- its solo in Obsolete Beings weirdly reminded me of Norway's Tejre Rypdal, a jazz guitarist -- but he nevertheless manages to channel Piggy's spirit in a great way.
Voivod is like if someone put Rush and Motorhead in a blender and left it on the fastest setting. No other band can release new material 40 years into their run that sounds this good.
This new Voivod song is more than 100% WORTHWHILE!!! I did not even know anything new was coming. Knowing that Chewie literally wrote the book on Piggy makes this comeback totally doable, though!
This addition of horn sectionals is absolutely brilliant while still maintaining their trademark "Voivod" obscurities and delivery...such fine small hours listening!
Best album of the decade! Fresh, inventive, brilliant. I saw them live in Paris, they kicked ass! I wish the horn section was recorded in the album it elevates everything to stellar levels!
Album became an instant classic for me - I can't really think of anything better than it from the last decade. That's how much I love it :) Makes me feel happy to be alive while such amazing music is being released!
Wow ! Crisse de bonne toune ! Les brass sont superbes. Super bon video aussi. Merci d'être là ou ne vous attendais pas. Trop de bands rejouent la même toune pendant des décennies, vous vous renouvellez pis j'aime ça !
I first heard of Voivod in 2010 when I saw Nothingface on some random top 10 prog metal albums ever and now it feels like a lifetime ago. I can't imagine what it's like for the fans that have been around since the beginning, listening to this bizarre and beautiful album The Wake decades later and Voivod hasn't stopped making the most incredible and unique music. So happy I got to see them in 2019, met a couple of the guys too after the show, they were so nice and humble ❤️
This is just so unbelievably amazing I'm literally crying. The horns make this just perfect. 👌I just wish there was more music like this... :( its so difficult for me to find interesting music nowadays
VOIVOD is jazzy. One of my favorite bands. Unique, innovative, groundbreaking, ahead of their time. All fucking metal yet so much more. Canada's greatest export. Yes I've heard of that other cool band from the great white north.
The brass section adds a whole lot to the song. I love it! I also loved the violins at the end of Sonic Mycelium. I hope Voivod experiments more with non "metal" instrumentation.
Well they did cover Astronomy Domine so you gotta think that they got Floyd on their mind... good call and good ear Maria!! You should check out old dEUS from Belgium.. they are very dissonant art rock. not as heavy as Voivod .. but very jazzy abstract cool.
I've been a fan of theirs since 84, and I'm happy that they're still going strong and still pushing the envelope of what "metal" can be. To the death!!!
I've imagined that scene for "here I am laying on a bed..." so many times while being high listening to this album - this made my day that it finally got a video :) \m/ VOIVOD RULES \M/
Oh hellz yes! Still experimenting with compositions/sounds, yet retaining that Voivod edge. So loving this! Been listening since Nothingface and could not be happier to still be hearing new sonic art from you guys. And OMFG, let's give it up for Away and his Bauhaus shirt!!! Pete, Daniel, David and Kevin should luv this. I can hear Peter singing this himself back In The Flat Field days. Cheers!
it's really good. the jazz, the metal, the bauhaus, the 50s sci-fi, the progrock, the horror, the editing, the aesthetic, the acting, ... so it's basically perfect. the only thing missing is a guitar solo, the kind guthrie govan or alan holdsworth or scott henderson or maybe alex lifeson would play. but then that might also just distract from all the other stuff that's going on. so it's basically perfect. :-)
I have been a fan of Voivod since the beginning! I stopped listening to the band when Snake left. I came back when he returned. I was unsure how the band would sound when they began making music without Piggy. The band is still amazing!
@@soulfare333 to expand on daves comment, voivod is from quebec, a french speaking province. I'm english canadian, but surely they deserve one supportive comment in they're own language? I could argue the surrender point as it applies to france itself, but dumbass was an quite acceptable way to conclude a response to you indeed.
Quel son! 99% du temps, j'pas capable de savoir ou est la bass dans un mix quand j'entends un band de Metal. La ya une section de brass en plus et j'entends tout et tout le monde parfaitement. Ça c'est a part de tout le reste qui est écoeurant!
@@jbasti227 My top 5 voivod's albums (Take it as a recommendation): 1. Killing Technology 2. Nothing Face 3. Phobos 4. Dimension Hatröss 5. Outer Limits
@@GoDUsopp-gk2fx Those are all faves of mine too! I'd add their last 2 albums above Outer Limits tho. They're on fire at the moment which is so gratifying at this late stage in their career :)
I"ve been a big Voïvod fan since Killing Technology was first released and have heard all their songs.... THIS IS TRULY EPIC. PLEASE MAKE MORE SONGS WITH BRASS INSTRUMENTS OR EVEN ORCHESTRA. THE ADDED BRASS METAL SECTION DELIVERS THIS VIDEO AS IF IT WERE A WHOLE SCIFI MOVIE. Reminds me of Sigh and their brass movieish songs, but this surpasses their songs. This brass metal section has a slight jazz funk sound that compliments all the riffs in this song. I am also a big fan of Metallica's S&M orchestrations that Michael Kamen composed, but this song is far better than anything Metallica has done in decades, even their S&M2 concert they recently did and await its release.
After all these years, Voivod is STILL pushing the limits!
With the only guitarist on Earth to literally write the book on Piggy replacing Piggy (RIP).
Pffftt... Voivod is beyond the Outer Limits.
... A Glenn sighting in the wild....
These guys are mindblowing geniuses. It's the first REAL innovative piece of music I heard in the last 10 YEARS.
You have taste after all haha

@@wouterblieck1877 AH! So we have an eye witness. :D
That's cool as hell
This is great ! I love your jacked with the hand made Voivod design on the back and the Possessed logo on the front. TO THE DEATH !!!!

🤘🏻 TRUTH 🤘🏻
This is one of the most creative compositions I have ever experienced.
I had the same feeling
That's Voivod for you!
Gwar has a song or 2 like this. Mr. Bungle was the best at it.
Listen to nothing face then
@@AlissonSilva-ox4uz I was going to say Nothingface one of the greatest of theirs. That album still holds up. Also Killing Technology, but the writing on Nothingface it's crazy af.
A masterpiece. The Wake and Synchro Anarchy albums are just fantastic...
Listening to Voivod since War + Pain. They've never disappointed me. This was fantastic.
Dimension Hatross was my introduction to them. I've been following them since then.
Be Blessed, Thou.
Disciples of Körgüll.
Release les cigares volantes!
The Dimension IS
hätross, ugly and unkind!

Top band Québecois vraiment fier de vs Tous cher Voivoid 👏👏👏🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🥁🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
It took me almost twenty years to realize how unique this band is.Better late than never.Becoming a fan😀
took me even longer! I feel cheated on a certain level! mostly in the 90's as I would of loved their albums back then! welcome to the club! 🙂

Voivod is like the King Crimson of metal.
Proggier than the rest and better than the best! ;)
King Crimson is metal as well, and heaviest than Any metal band
I don't think that Voivod is the proggiest metal band around at all, I think they bring something truly unique to the table that is really hard to classify. To this day they are a profound influence on experimental metal of all spectrums from rockier stuff to black/death - heck the bassist even did a collab with Virus.
They're not the most technical band ever but all the unorthodox chord structures and out there sounds truly make them boundary pushing and super prog!
Heh, I first listened to Dimension Hatross after Starless and Bible Black. Experiment, with its 7/4, was enough to win my heart.
Je ne supporte pas KING CRIMSON mais j'adore VOIVOD!
How in the hell could anyone give this a thumbs down? If you don't like Voivod fine, just move along. The fact they're still pumping out new music and taking chances is utterly fantastic!

That short solo captured the construction of the song
Chewy is awesome. His awesomeness really takes some of the sting out of losing Piggy.
He studied Piggy's guitar methods and understands Piggy's approach more than anyone in the world, plus he brings his own wonderful approach and skills! I didn't know about the recent album "The Wake," but I'm so blown away by it now! Chewy really does fit in. But Piggy was always the main architect!
Def. stingy~but Chewy is one hell of musician & a nice guy.
He's got a more "Jazzy" vibe -- its solo in Obsolete Beings weirdly reminded me of Norway's Tejre Rypdal, a jazz guitarist -- but he nevertheless manages to channel Piggy's spirit in a great way.
King Voivod!!!
Brillante composition. Je retrouve ici - ce que je n'espérais plus - l'inventivité et l'atmosphère tragique de l'album NOTHINGFACE.
Voivod is like if someone put Rush and Motorhead in a blender and left it on the fastest setting.
No other band can release new material 40 years into their run that sounds this good.
I,for one,welcome the new Voivod sound.

Voivod=Genius
Every damn time!
This is the KING CRIMSON of metal!
First impression: This is the best song and video I've ever heard & seen in my life.
The Best Voivod song they've ever released IMO and I've been listening the from the very beginning. Piggy would be so proud of this.
Oh my god what a bunch of geniuses. That far in they’re carrer and still so creative and productive.
HEY GUYS YOU ARE FROM ANOTHER DIMENSION...I FOLLOW YOU FROM '84 AND YOU NEVER DISAPPOINTED ME...
VoivoD never gets old, because their talent allows them to recreate theirselves everytime. My first album was Rrrrrooooooaaaaaaarrrrrr!
Wow ! Crisse de bonne toune ! Les brass sont superbes. Super bon video aussi. Merci d'être là ou ne vous attendais pas. Trop de bands rejouent la même toune pendant des décennies, vous vous renouvellez pis j'aime ça !
The Bohemian Rhapsody of metal...no doubt about it!
Cheers from Coimata, Bolivia my friends!!! Voivod for the eternity!
Epic...no less than incredible for this stage in the band's career.

It was so awesome when they played it at the 2019 MTL Jazz Festival with the horn section!
Vraiment sur la coche love it du grand Voivod🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻👏👏👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Mr Bungle meets Gustav Holst meets Coroner meets Mercyful Fate 😂 What a cool band this is!
This is something else, only Carcass and Voivod have this much of creativity everyone else is second league.
woohhhhh
excellent track from an excellent band... VOIVOD always delivers!!
Still kicking ass.
What a FANTASTIC new version of this song! I´d love to hear the whole "Wake" album like this

@@brob9995 technically yes. Those weird chords you've heard over the years are heavily jazz influenced. Pretty sure that's what he meant
@@stevedrew645 Absolute Jazz and agreement!
Nice version of the track. Very very proggy! 🤘

Hey guys, stick to the horns! Let us have album filled with them, and once again Voivod will revolutionize metal such as 30 years ago!
Here! Here!!!!
I second that!
I concur! That would be a sight to see and hear!
I knew I would not be disappointed, awsome video 🤘🤘🤘 One of the best albums i have listened to in the last years..."the wake"
the beginning is like Atom heart mother
the 1st few notes remind me of The Beachcomber theme
The same think I found in cothinker. Second remake of Pink Floyd.
Well they did cover Astronomy Domine so you gotta think that they got Floyd on their mind... good call and good ear Maria!! You should check out old dEUS from Belgium.. they are very dissonant art rock. not as heavy as Voivod .. but very jazzy abstract cool.
Never was big fan, but I liked a tune here and there. This one I really like.
One of the best live bands I had the pleasure to see
Always forward, numbers 1 🧪
This..is insane!!!! Wow!
Nothing no one beats vod
The End of Dormancy came out BEFORE the pandemic ... mmmmmh WHAT DID VOIVOD KNOW??? Just kidding! Loooooove you guys, been a fan since 1986!!!
I've been a fan of theirs since 84, and I'm happy that they're still going strong and still pushing the envelope of what "metal" can be. To the death!!!
Yeah it's like soundtrack for Hitchcock's movies in the Outer Space!
Voivod are great! New version of song is awesome!
I think I hear some Bernard Hermann in there!
Oooook! So cool!! I have to watch this video on shroom next time
This is other level. Great Voi Vod. Greetings front Brazil
I've imagined that scene for "here I am laying on a bed..." so many times while being high listening to this album - this made my day that it finally got a video :)
\m/ VOIVOD RULES \M/
They do fucking rule, and yes high during the small hours with this and their other songs filling the air!
This is very much closing in on Jim Thirwells "Foetus". :D
Nice.
I'm blown away
Duke Ellington meets King Crimson and goes Metal

jazz i like it

I saw Vio Vod with Kreator and Violence in 89 at the Channel in Boston. Excellent time. Awesome thanks for the post much appreciated.
I wasn't even born yet lol. Saw them last year with Revocation and Psycroptic. They still play flawlessly!
Nice, great line up, I saw them with Scat Opera in 88? I think, in the London Marquee.
Saw them with YOB a couple years ago in a tiny club. They had the energy of a newly formed teenage garage band. It was amazing.
I LOVE it !!! Reminds me of Magma, the French band
This is so incredibly cool and well produced! You guys rock so hard!
Just when you think they’d outdone themselves. After all these years, Voivod (still) RULES.
I love the brass!
Works perfectly, fits perfectly, and shows that metal doesn't have to only have the usual instruments.
Ostie de bonne toune !!! Du Voivod à l'état pure... tout simplement génial!!!
Da Zeuhl Wortz VOiVOD! Merveilleux!
How the fuck are they still so brilliant?!???!
Loving the brass - gives the whole thing an awesome, cinematic feel!
Fantastic!!! Great to see Voivod breaking the preconceived notions of hard music and pushing into the vanguard again!!
Voivod in 2020 - still amazing!
just fabulous! VOIVOD, one the greatest HM band of all times. The most innovative and genuine nowadays.
Awesome!
