The world premier of Canadian progressive sci-fi metal innovators Voivod's "We Are Connected" documentary took place last night, Monday, July 29, at the Fantasia International Film Festival at Concordia University in Montreal, QC.

Canada's The Metal Voice has shared footage of Voivod's entrance at the event, which can be viewed below.

Voivod: We Are Connected traces the first 40 years of career of the famous and innovative Quebec metal band Voivod. Through numerous testimonies and archival documents we follow the impressive journey of this extraordinary band. The documentary is enhanced by the use of animations from the visual creations of the band's drummer, Michel "Away" Langevin.

It’s been a forty year journey punctuated by freak van accidents, bouts with cancer, Billboard recognition, and seismic lineup changes, never mind the event most critics assured would be the end of Voivod: the death of co-founding guitarist and composer Denis “Piggy” D’Amour. Despite adversity, and perhaps by cosmic intervention or just serendipity, Voivod found guitarist Daniel “Chewy” Mongrain, re-igniting their engines to deliver a string of albums and EPs leading to late-career triumphs The Wake (2019) and Synchro-Anarchy (2023).

"We Are Connected" delves into the band's creative journey and the challenges they've faced over the course of their career, while unequivocally reaffirming Voivod's status as one of Canada's most important and innovative musical exports.
