Great news !!fRom Blabberbasher.. Canada's pioneering metal band VOIVOD will enter the studio this spring to record its final album using songs left behind by founding guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, who died in August 2005 from colon cancer. An official band statement reads as follows: "There remain 13 songs that Denis D'Amour (Piggy) had written with the band that have yet to be recorded. Michel Langevin (Away) and Denis Belanger (Snake) will track the last songs this spring bringing all the past and present members together to participate in a homage to the guitar legend of Piggy and the legacy of 25 years of a brotherhood forged by exploring metal, rock and punk ethics with an other worldly premise. Jean-Yves Theriault (Blacky) and Eric Forrest (E-FORCE) have eagerly agreed to contribute bass tracks along with Jason Newsted (Jasonic). The End Records and Nuclear Blast will release this final record once completed. VOIVOD may play select shows after the release as a thank you to the fans and to bring closure to a great career." VOIVOD won the "Best Metal/Hardcore Album" award for their 2006 LP "Katorz" last September at the annual Quebec Independent Music Awards (GAMIQ) in Montreal, Quebec. Other nominees were GHOULUNATICS ("Cryogénie"), UNEXPECT ("In A Flesh Aquarium"), ANONYMUS ("Chapter Chaos Begins"), and LES ÉKORCHÉS ("Les Ékorchés"). Released in July 2006 on The End Records, "Katorz" was assembled, recorded and released by the band (drummer Michel "Away" Langevin, singer Denis "Snake" Belanger and bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted) and producer Glen Robinson using demos left by founding guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, who succumbed to colon cancer in August 2005.

Ok, let's play good news / bad news... The good news is, this project is finally getting underway. The REALLY good news is that Blacky and Eric (both of whom are far and away exponentially better than Jason) will be involved with some bass tracks!!!But the bad news (to me) is the continued disregarding of the "30 more" tracks that Jason alluded to in the Making of Katorz 5-minute promo film. I was disappointed in Katorz overall, from a songwriting point of view as well as sound. I'm hoping Eric and Blacky will add some much-needed BALLS to the final tracks. I love Voivod, and look forward to this next (and seemingly final) chapter to this story... But I can't help but feel sadness at the prospect of "more" tracks being left to languish unheard. I'm hoping I'm wrong, and that something WILL happen with these! Has this ever been formally addressed??? All the best,
PAULIE -------------------- Voivoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood!
