hey all. long time voivod fan here, new to this site. i really wish i'd have known about this site before. just found it today. nothingface was the first voivod album i got into, and when i went to listen to the other stuff i would always compare it to nothingface. it seems to me that nothing really quite holds a candle to it. it's by far the most stimulating album i've ever listened to, both musically and lyrically. i can't tell you people how much this album has influenced my life. i'd like to hear opinions on the lyrics to this album, because they've always had the most obsucre meaning to me. for the most part, every other voivod album i've listened to have pretty concrete lyrics.. but this one is wayyy out there. talking about concrete cyclops' blinking down their dull eyes, and cuboid upside down cells... not to mention skyline underwater fields and pronouncing words like "circled" "sirk led" . i can't wait to hear opinions on these lyrics from you people, because i have absolutely no friends who are into this stuff. for years i've tried to convert people , but i've only just barely been succesful with it. -------------------- I float unseen outside the screen.

Daneel...
Welcome aboard this Lost Machine of Ravenous Chaosmongers-the gang that still stands!! Anyways, I'm sorry to hear that ya couldnt find other area Vod fans-Once in awhile I will run into someone who instantly recognizes a Voivod shirt I'm wearing/will tell what album they stopped listening at/asks me if they're still around or remembers seeing them live...Some close metal friends are near the same age so they know about Voivod-anyways enough of my self-indulgent babble .."Nothingface"--Another very fascinating album of bubonic-bubble personality fractal-freak rock with escalating,winding precise corners and odd,puzzle-intersecting solos.Central cuboid concept-the Voivod erases or destroys his original persona because it is too weak and creates others to replace them-then he gets ultra-paranoic and tries to find the origin but he feels that a machine has sucked it out of existence and this coupled with other esoteric,fiction-fact based things Away put in(Alzheimer's caused from aluminum deposits in the brain-living near the largest aluminum factory in North America and hearing/seeing the mech-noises,smokestack plumes,filthy atmosphere)along with crazy robots/spider ships/a digit-tronic moody version of an acid casualty /the Voivod living inside a nine-dimension hypercube and finally sinking inside himself-commencing into self-catalepsy! What a feast for a sci-fi fan!....I really poured over the lyrics(nonsense collabo bet/Snake,Away and Kiisti)-"On this train...try to analyse this led venture...octagonal seams...songless sky...digital bug-eye...spiders spinning sand,grubbing enterprise....are you the prime automaton...emotions flood their gaze...catalyst fusion,a transmutation...pure neon,i surround...clairvoyent suspension..shining shallow spirit shadows,telestrobic heart....perhaps a faulty premonition...it crawls up perscopic cognition where it strives to dwell in abnormal contortion..i navigate in my maze,to be safe,safe,safe...over the ocean of sheer compromise.....too late for S.O.S..the error is perfect like this sub-effect of my kind...my mind..
This was one album that really could've lent itself to being made into a animated short/novel....fucking genius!!!!
