Today on BBM:

Ken Kelly of The MusicNerd Chronicles recently conducted an interview with drummer Michel "Away" Langevin of Canadian metal innovators VOIVOD. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.

On remastering classic VOIVOD albums "Rrroooaaarrr", "Killing Technology" and "Dimension Hatross" for re-release, expanded to include a DVD which will feature material from the "Iron Gang Archives":

"I am actually in the process of finishing up the booklets and artwork for those albums. We had actually started the wheels turning on this back in 2006 but ran into some difficulty. . . It has only been in the last month that we were able to start the project again.

"I've been going through a lot of VHS tapes and cassette demos and converting that stuff to digital so that we can include it in this batch of remasters. It is a lot of work but very worth it."

On whether fans should anticipate new material from VOIVOD anytime soon:

"I don't think we've actually said this in public before, but we are writing new material as of last month. We want to give it a try and to see what we can do with this lineup and take it from there. We actually went into the studio, improvised what we were playing and recorded everything. We're picking bits and pieces that we like and will try to build a record from it. While it's going very well, I think it is too early to say whether it will turn into a full album for release."

On the possibility of a VOIVOD live record:

"Since reforming in 2008, we have recorded a lot of live material at European festivals we have played as well as the Christmas show we did in Montreal last year."

"Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

i've been trying to register there for some time now and it blocks all accounts that are free email services because of spammers. the email i try to send to yuri also never works which sucks! i was curious how many of the same people also post on that board.

I used to post there ages ago but somehow this community became favorite. On here the subjects vary much more.

I think...

Same here... I used to post on Yuri's site.. I guess it was back in the Phobos era ... then I just moved over here. The .net forum seems kinda dead nowadays, as far as I've seen.

YEAH, I've always thought that, as much as I worship it the way it is, "Killing Technology" could use a bit more low end, and that could be fixed with the remastering ... I mean, the mix sounds cool and raw, but I feel it lacks a little fatness in general ... that way the mighty blower bass would sound thunderous (it already has an awesome crunch, but it needs some more of da big booty).

RRROOOAAARRR maybe could get a bit clearer, and Dimension Hatross ... well... I wouldn't touch a damn thing of that album.

All us low number VVF know the real reason this forum is way better and why all the best fans are here. Skullhead created this place for a very good reason and we all appreciate his hard work, and also to the other VVF who lend a big hand in keeping this running.
