October 28, 2009, 14 years ago
E-FORCE, featuring ex-VOIVOD frontman Eric Forrest, has cancelled a live date scheduled for Toulouse, France at Bar El Camino on November 20th. He will be returning to his native Canada in November, however, with shows in Toronto and Montreal in planning for November 21st and 28th respectively. Details will be revealed soon.
BW&BK; last spoke with Forrest back in June 2008 to discuss E-Force's latest album, Modified Poison. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
“The first record came out in October 2003, so when I moved to France it took some time to find new members and play some shows,” Forrest says of the long wait between albums. “At the beginning of 2005 we had the chance to tour, and it was either then or never if I wanted to support Evil Forces. After we took a break for six months, parted ways with the touring members which was for the better, found a guitar player and started writing. From that point I started shopping for a new label and had to wait about a year for the release of Modified Poison, which really wasn’t my decision. But, it’s finally out there.”Still, Forrest is satisfied with the end result more than he is frustrated with releasing what is essentially “old” material.
“It’s a bit of both, really. Like any artist I want to top my last creation, but going from Day 1 to hearing it now I have a different opinion about the music compared to a fan, who finds it fresh and new. But, going with the vision I had, working with different players and, in a way, maximizing everything, I’m happy with it. It’s still pretty rewarding.”Go to this location for E-Force audio samples.
As previously reported, Forrest recently completed vocals for PROJECT: FAILING FLESH's new album Count Back From Ten. Details and a release date will be announced soon. For information on P: FF visit this location.
