My interview with Snake was published today: https://www.sonicperspectives.com/interviews/interview-with-denis-snake-belanger/

Great job as usual! Some very good questions Rodrigo. Very cool to hear him give props to Eric's tenure with the band.

Has it already been that long since The Wake?    That album took awhile to hit me, but when it did, it really hit me.   I was just lukewarm on Post Society and I was wondering if they were going to hit a low after losing Blacky again.   But The Wake proved me dead wrong.  That album is fantastic.

It took me a while to warm up to The Wake too, but by 2019 I came to the conclusion that it was one of the best albums of 2018.

It’s official!! New album “Syncro Anarchy” coming in February!

Still floored by The Wake. The two comeback albums have been so strong that they are actually giving the classics a run for their money. I can’t wait!

I was hoping it wouldn’t sound so exactly like The Wake. But it’s still an excellent song.

Even if the album turns out to be “The Wake Part 2”, I’ll take it. I just hope they don’t get into the habit of repeating themselves.

Not much of a left turn from The Wake. But again, that’s not a bad thing. Great song!

Agreed. The feeling is a bit "more of the same", but the song is good.

Well, that bit with the string bending certainly does not sound like anything I've ever heard in a Voivod song.

I spoke with Dan Mongrain of Voivod yesterday, and the interview came out really great. He's the coolest dude, super grateful to be playing with his favorite band. I'll post it here when it comes out, and will also write a review of the new album.

I ordered the deluxe version and it's release has been pushed to the 22nd. I had an option to download but the link did nothing every time I clicked it until it finally said I exceeded my downloads?!?!?!? You never did anything!

I'll have it eventually.

No remasters - but special edition reissues of Angel Rat and Nothingface coming out on Record Store Day in April.

it's a great way to showcase the drum sound by introducing the album with that awesome drumming and sound.

yeah especially with the list this year not having too many choice items, I actually am thinking of picking at least 1 or both of those. Unsure depending on budget and how high they are priced.

Glad I picked up the Japanese CD reissues of Nothingface, Angel Rat and Outer Limits when I did. I had a feeling we weren't going to get nice deluxe editions like we did with the earlier albums.

Also, the deluxe of the new album has been delayed again and now I won't have it until next month.

Finally got my deluxe mediabook today. First thing I did was check out the quality of the concert. Wow, it sounds amazing! I only did a check of the first track but the sound and mix are excellent. Looking forward to finally digging into this thing.

Return to Morgöth is a cool bonus, but it's a shame that its setlist is almost identical with the recent Lost Machine live album. I think I preferred the production on that one.

As expected, Synchro Anarchy is another masterful showcase from the band. Being that it's similar to The Wake, but seemingly even more complex/less immediate, I will surely be getting a lot of mileage out of it. The top release of the year so far!

Our debut album "Eläimys" is a trip I can whole-heartedly recommend to anyone into Pain of Salvation, Opeth, The Mars Volta, Magma etc.

I’m not usually into re-recorded stuff. But their early material is mixed so terribly that this might actually be refreshing. That plus the guest appearances by Jason Newsted and Eric Forest  :omg: make this a must buy for me!

Quote
Shared from the official VOIVOD FB page:
We are celebrating 40 eventful years of existence this year and we are pleased to announce a special Anniversary studio album entitled “Morgöth Tales”, to be released on July 21st, 2023 via Century Media Records.

Once more recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio, mastered by Maor Appelbaum and produced by VOIVOD, “Morgöth Tales” includes fresh studio (re-)recordings by the band’s current line-up of 9 especially selected, not-so-obvious picks from the band’s hyper-classy and extremely diverse back catalogue (between 1984 and 2003) as well as a brand-new song in the album’s title-track, “Morgöth Tales”.

VOIVOD drummer Michel “Away” Langevin commented about “Morgöth Tales” as follows: “’Morgöth Tales’ covers 40 years of space exploration. It was really exciting for us to revisit a more obscure part of the Voïvod catalogue, from thrash-punk to prog-metal to…? The title track is a new song, which we started writing in the tour bus and hotels during the Opeth European tour in November/December 2022. It has the vibe of the experimental music we are doing nowadays, with a new twist I think. We also had the great thrill of getting E-Force and Jasonic involved on this album. I hope you’ll dig it, Chewy, Rocky, Snake and I certainly had a blast recording it. All aboard and ready for take off!“

Tracklist:
1. Condemned To The Gallows
2. Thrashing Rage
3. Killing Technology
4. Macrosolutions To Megaproblems
5. Pre-Ignition
6. Nuage Fractal
7. Fix My Heart
8. Rise (feat. Eric Forrest)
9. Rebel Robot (feat. Jason Newsted)
10. Morgöth Tales

More details will follow.
