Voivod are reissuing their albums Rrröööaaarrr, Killing Technology and Dimension Hatross, out today on CD, and available on vinyl for the first time in 30 years on May 19th.

Rrröööaaarrr - Rrröööaaarrr is the band’s 2nd studio album, released on Noise Records in 1986. This sophomore album features their unique blend of thrash, electronic and industrial soundscapes creating a primordial fusion of progressive metal. This definitive issue of Voivod’s second album is a must-have item for any fan of this unique and ground-breaking progressive metal band. The 2CD/DVD set vividly captures the period surrounding this album and details the band’s early development within their native Canada plus their first live ‘assaults’ across the border into the US.

Along with a previously unreleased complete show - the ‘Spectrum ’86 ’No Speed Limit Week-End’ concert from Montreal - the set also includes a complete demo of the Rrröööaaarrr album, band rehearsal tracks and a ‘never-before-heard’ sound-collage from the tapes of Piggy, Voivod’s late lamented guitarist. The set also contains tantalizing early video footage of several live concerts from the band both in Canada and the US, the grainy films providing a unique insight into this developmental world of ‘the’ Voivod. The album has been re-mastered from the original tapes, pressed on high quality heavy-weight vinyl and the artwork has replicated the original release.
