Is this another practical joke????
 wot the fuck is this, may be the last one? aaarrrrggghhhhhhh!!!!
This is most disturbing. I had assumed that some of the stuff on the last album was a bit of a strange practical joke the band had pulled, to see how many journalists would say it's their best album just cos Newsted is in the band. And I reached the conclusion that they must be cackling ferociously, all the way to the bank. Which would explain why Snake's vocals sound great on the Probot track but a bit ropey on the album.
Don't get me wrong, there's a couple of great songs on there like Gasmask, Divine Sun, Reactor.. but... never before have I felt the compulsion to skip tracks while listening to any 'Vod album. Ok, they never made the same album twice, but all their other albums are superb, & I love the mellow stuff like Angel Rat just as much as the heavier stuff. It's just that the last album seemed a bit Not Quite Right, if you'll excuse my honesty, & in places, Not Pleasing To The Ear.
Although the artwork is beautiful, as always.
In view of some of the other wind-ups that have been circulating, such as tales of the Voivod story being based on a vampire called the Voivode who lived in Transylvania, etc etc, (which I also put down to maybe the band members having a strange sense of humour), this seemed a logical explanation.
Can't someone try to sort out copies of these demos? This is most unkind.
I had just sort of assumed that for the next album they would go Ha ha, Just Kidding, & release a mind-bendingly brilliant, twisted, creepy, atmostpheric & heavy spacelord motherfucker of a double album to make up for it, perhaps more along the lines of Phobos.(please please please!!!) Kind of like waking up from a bad, bad dream.
And what happened to the space spider idea?? That sounded like an interesting topic.
Oh well, I'm still waiting to get my filthy fingers on Project Failing Flesh - from what I've heard that should make up for it!
Guys, it's time to own up, are you Taking The Piss??? Please, please do not insult our ears with songs like Rebel Robot again.

No idea about it being the basis of the little Voivod story, but "Voivode" was a genuine eastern European title. Vlad the Impaler was Voivode of Wallachia, so that's where that comes from.  Vlad the Impaler came from a very interesting family. He had a brother who was known as "The Handsome". Must've made a very odd couple. I see what you're saying about pulling our leg a bit - I think we might see after the next one's out, if it is. The self titled one was just a bit of fun for them, really. Nothing too taxing, playing it relatively safe, perhaps trying to reach a broader crowd with it. There's some good moments, and it's pretty solid, but not really Voivod. Warcorpse still summed it up best - we were promised Nothingface on steroids, we got Angel Rat on Viagra.  I'm up for more aggressive and chaotic. That would be nice.

Head Villan, tell you friend to join us here, it's always great to get a new active voice on board, and if she's half as crazy as you, it'll make this place that much more fun.
Thanx!!
I'll let her know.
From looking at voivod.com, I gather that people who register & then don't post on the forum are not "Proper" fans & are just scavengers who are out to get the freebie package. This is apparantly how they vet the fans. How nice. So perhaps they started sending snotty emails out after a while. I didn't get one, but she registered a while after me.
Which I feel is kind of insulting to my friend, she is a very decent & intelligent person & has been into metal since she was 14. She is a very busy single mum with a demanding job (unlike me, I'm a lazy arsehole..) so she doesn't spend her time on the internet!
And when I registered on there a couple of years back, I could never get the forum to work, same goes for a couple of other people I know.. so of course I didn't leave any posts, I just gave up on it & I didn't bother going back there again. When I saw you could join the Iron Gang online of course I joined up, I tried to join years & years ago, no reply.. & I'm not the only one.
I am well tempted to leave a snotty message on that site -------------------- String em up
