We are putting finishing touches on the yet to be named new
record, due this spring. Jason Newsted ended up playing on all
the bass tracks and plans to have Eric and Blacky also play
on it were put aside for another project down the road. This
album will mark the end of the Voivod songs Piggy wrote and
performed, there are other songs from Piggy yet to be released,
that he wrote for himself and other projects. We will release
a DVD of our first ever performance in Japan, featuring all
early Voivod material with Blacky on bass and Dan Mongrain on
Guitar. We would like to extend our condolences to the family
of Adrian Bromley, who was up until recently Voivod’s
publicist at The End records for the past 4 years. His enthusiasm
and knowledge of music and all things metal will be sorely missed.
More news and artwork to be posted soon.
