This is the (Nothing)Face of Science Fiction in thrash music.
There is not a single band of the late 80's/ or 90's metal scene (or any other era, for that matter)
that can match up with the pure imagination level of Voivod.
Devastating the vast wasteland of weak-willed metal with the likes of
KORGULL THE EXTERMINATOR (From "RRROOOAAARRR" - 1986)
...they took it to another level: another 'demention'.
Yeah, these guys have seen some serious changes over the years, however their third release;
KILLING TECHNOLOGY (Late 1986)
Click the cover (thanks, WarCorpse!)
for Voivod Reviews
...still stands alone as an Island of
Whacked-Out, Alien-Energized, Psych-Fi, Precision-Chaos
...drifting in a forlorn sea of mostly vapid milquetoast MUSH,
floating in the current stillborn doldrums of Man's Modern Musical Chronicle.
{See how they inspire?}
Their cover art displays totally otherworldly scenes and caricatures of undescribable beings,
thanks to the never-ending imagination of Michel Langevin, the drummer & artist.
(also known as 'Away')
Nowadays, I must admit that the presences of:
...are sorely missed; however any release sanctioned by this band is certainly worth a listen.
While we're here, we mustn't forget about mainstay Guitarist Extraordinare 'Piggy' Denis D'Amour, who is one of my personal favorites.
This guy has a sound TOTALLY HIS OWN and seems to be Inventing His Own Hideous, Dissonant, Awe-inspiring Chords much of the time.
Not to mention that he conquered cancer just to prove he's for real.
