February 13, 2016, 8 years ago
Howie D. at Hard Edge Radio and National Rock Review recently caught up with Voivod frontman Denis “Snake” Belanger. They talked about Voivod standing the test of time, the years with Jason Newsted in the band, the reasons for Snake taking a break from Voivod in the early '90s, their new single, touring plans for 2016, and more. Go to this location to check out the 12 minute audio interview.
Voivod are streaming the title track of their upcoming Post Society EP. This special release will be available in Digipak CD format as well as Digital Download on February 26th via Century Media Records.
Michel “Away” Langevin checked in to comment about the song, which is streaming below: “Another apocalyptic song from the RadicArt sessions. I think “Post Society” is a good indication of where we are heading for musically. Ingredients from all the Voivod eras with a futuristic touch. I can't wait to play it live!”
The Post Society EP, with artwork by Voivod drummer Michel “Away” Langevin, contains five studio tracks, including the previously vinyl-only new Voivod songs from the split 7” EP’s with label-mates At The Gates and Napalm Death, two brand new songs and a Hawkwind cover (“Silver Machine”) total playing time of 30 minutes. Pre-order at this location.

Michel “Away” Langevin checked in to comment on the release: “More songs from out in the woods! In between tours, we are steadily finding our way through recording the next album at RadicArt studio. Many riffs were composed on the bus but until the North American tour with Vektor in 2016, we will spend most of wintertime in Montreal writing another batch of material. Meanwhile, we hope you will enjoy this EP of good old thrash-prog-punk-metal or whatever people want to call Voïvod nowadays :)”
