VOIVOD – The first glimpse

This past weekend, BW&BK scribe Chris Bruni had the exclusive opportunity to preview the new, as-yet-untitled VOIVOD album, and here were some of his observations upon first listen…
To hear the new VOIVOD album, and to hear how such an album was put together, it seems like a miracle that it even manifested. The first impression after the final moments of the closing track, 'The Getaway', were heard, it was easy to come to the conclusion that this will undoubtedly be one of the most important metal albums of 2006. The overall vibe and aura of the new VOIVOD is simply overwhelming, and to hear the late Piggy's ethereal and unearthly guitar vibes was a chilling experience indeed. Overall, the album is heavy. Damn heavy with a dark undercurrent running its course throughout the massive and unforgiving wall-of-sound.

Here´s the tentative tracklist for the as-yet-untitled VOIVOD masterpiece:'Dognation', 'X-Tremetal', 'Polaroids', 'After All', 'No Angel', 'Mr. Clean', 'Red My Mind', 'Silly Clones', 'Odds And Frauds', 'The Getaway'
