I went on a Voivod kick one night, decided to listen to all of my favourite albums of theirs all in one night.


Weirdly enough, the next day, Roadburn announced they would be playing, and playing material from those exact albums. Synchronicity. Weird.

It's true. You can't mention VoiVods around me without me wanting to scream "WAR AND PAINS!"

I am a fan of every era of the band. Both Eric Forrest albums (Negatron & Phobos) are cool, definitely heavier than The Outer Limits and Angel Rat, reminds of Today Is The Day a bit at times.

Big fan of the middle & later period. I know many metalhaids thought that "the outer limits" was too shiney and raDIO friendly but fuck it's a great record. Some killer tunes, I really don't understand how it didn't penetrate more. It listed at $8.98 and got a decent push. Hell even had 3 D glasses. Maybe not thrash enough for those kids and too juiced for the Dokken audience.

The first two cuts, ("fix my heart" and "moonbean rider"), aren't too far from what Rush hit on Vapor Trail and the long one, "Jack Luminous" woulda been a side long had it come out o the lp format. If it did i never saw it. I'd like to plug the LIVES rec. too- nice selection and a Venom cover. A good one EEEEEEEEEvil in league with Santa!

I just went on a vinyl bender on eBay and got two Voivod lots that include 2 OG copies of RRROOOAAARRR, the Jack Luminous 12", and the Thrashing Rage pic disc. I listen to the first 4 albums a lot. The other stuff less so but it's good and they were fantastic live with Blacky back in the fold.

Scarab, I must thank you again for bringing up that Infini when you found that streaming link of it when it came out. I love that album. I also bought Katorz at Hellfest this year (on red vinyl).


I missed out on Roadburn tickets this year, because I really wasn't expecting it to sell out in 15 minutes, but Dutch gus bought an extra one, because he thought his purchase fucked up, and it's mine now. Two Voivod gigs in one weekend!!!!


EDIT: I am on a Slough Feg kick, though.
