A Groundbreaking Album

Voivod's 1989 album Nothingface

I was just working on a web design project, and my shuffle was playing in iTunes, and Nothingface (the song) came on, and refreshed my fond memories of Voivod in the late 80's. Most of you were still in diapers here when this came out, but you really should give it a listen as it was IMO, one of the very first progressive metal albums. They did what they wanted to do, and always have.

My highlights : Nothingface, Astronomy Domine, and X-Ray Mirror. All the others are great, but those stand out.

[all_sins_undone]

[all_sins_undone]

[i aint play this]

Nothingface is genius, lol sci-fi prog metal looks so absurd on paper but Voivod delivered the goods on that album

 

[all_sins_undone]

also 2112 owned, not prog-metal but prog-rock and sci-fi as fuck

 

[prowlergrig]

the unknown knows is my favourite, and also my fave voivod song overall \m/ brilliant band

I saw Voivod open up for Soundgarden in like 1990. Didn't know who they were and paid little attention. I was stupid.

That was a show I wish I went to!

Voivod and Soundgarden? weird ass combination

 

[all_sins_undone]

yeah that is kinda strange

 

[prowlergrig]

not really, considering the direction voivod went into in the early 90s (more psychedelic stuff, less technical metal), and the fact that soundgarden were pretty original too... it was a combination of 2 innovative heavy bands, i would've loved to see that tour.

 

[Hypnos]

a great album musically, but i don't like the vocals

The vocals aren't there for you to enjoy them.
