Of course there’s been a lot of frustration, but it’s also a throwback to the early aggressiveness, with the weird chords and thrashing guitars and a little paranoia in the music, and stuff like that. It the aggression presented here a result of all the hassles the band has dealt with in the last five years or is it just a return to your roots?Īway: It’s been a little of both. The new LP Negatron sees the heaviest, most angry Voivod material since 1987’s Dimension Hatross. I very much would like to do another Voivod interview, time will tell. This interview, of drummer Away, took place in 1996 shortly after the release of their album Negatron. When I saw this surreal painting on Philip’s floor I had to go out and get the CD Nothingface right away, and from then on I have been obsessed with the obscure concepts and music of Voivod. In 1990 my friend Philip had painted a huge replica(on his floor) of the surreal Voivod, the hopelessly lost character that has crept through many of the band Voivod’s albums since their inception in the early 1980’s. As a youth, well before I had discovered metal I remember seeing ads in the paper for the local club and seeing this band with the strange name who were playing, and it stoked my curiosity many years before I had even heard their music.
VOIVOD are a band I found out by accident. This interview originally appeared at (which is now defunct)
