Canadian progressive sci-fi metal innovators, Voivod, will release their new studio album, Synchro Anarchy, worldwide on February 11 via Century Media Records.

Sonic Perspectives collaborator Rodrigo Altaf has been a Voivod fan since his teenage years, and had the chance to catch up with guitarist Dan "Chewy" Mongrain to discuss the new album, the livestreams the band did during the pandemic, touring plans and much more. See below:

Closing in on 40 eventful years of existence, Voivod are returning with their 15th studio album, reaffirming they are one of the most fervently creative bands in the universe. Synchro Anarchy follows 2018's highly praised and Juno Award winning The Wake album, as well as 2020’s stellar Lost Machine - Live release.

Michel “Away” Langevin states, “We are eager to present our latest work, a real collaborative effort. The new album represents countless hours of writing, demoing, recording, mixing and so on. The band and Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio gave their very best to make it happen under unusual circumstances, which led us to call it Synchro Anarchy. We feel that the sound and music are 100% Voïvod, and we hope everyone will enjoy it as much as we had fun making it. We certainly can’t wait to play it live!”

Synchro Anarchy was recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio in Québec, Canada and mastered by Maor Appelbaum at Maor Appelbaum Mastering in California, and produced by Voivod. The album features cover artwork by Michel “Away” Langevin.
