E-FORCE / ex-VOIVOD frontman Eric Forrest is featured in a new interview with Brutalism.com. An excerpt is available below:

Q: How is your health these days? I'm sure all the fans are happy to see you back rocking again.

Forrest: "Pretty good considering. Not 100% and never will be, but I am alive and still able to walk/rock/and keep the wife happy on a good day. Back rocking? Well I never really stopped... just for about 10 months to recover somewhat, after that we (Voivod) were supporting IRON MAIDEN in Canada (Ed Hunter tour '99), plus (we did) two European tours and a 12 song demo ready to be recorded with full production in Chicago with Steve Albini. Then we had a band meeting. And just for the record, I did not quit Voivod! The guys told me in March 2001 that they did not want to continue Voivod anymore... PERIOD! I did not believe it for a minute. In a lot of ways, that version of Voivod had kind of run its course. The Voviod mk2 had seen better days (as did the other version), and some realities definitely got distorted. However, looking back, I guess you could say I got sacked in a nice way. As a band, Voivod were better off with Snake and Jasonic. I mean, c'mon, how can I compete with the original singer of eight records and the ex-bass player of METALLICA? They made the right decision giving Piggy a few more victory laps before his unfortunate departure, if you know what I mean. There were never any hard feelings after my band departure. It was their band that I joined and had the honour and privilege to be a part of."
