According to a press release issued by The End Records, a July 25th release date has been set for the forthcoming VOIVOD album, Katorz. It reads as follows:

The legendary band has worked alongside veteran producer Glen Robinson (VOIVOD’s ‘Nothingface,’ Tea Party, GWAR) to create an album that will continue the legacy of their fallen friend/bandmember/guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour. Katorz was recorded at Multisons studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada where Robinson and the band – drummer Michael "Away" Langevin, singer Denis “Snake” Belanger and bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted – utilized all of the guitar parts that founding guitarist "Piggy" had recorded for the record on his laptop with ProTools before his death last summer.

Artwork and a full track-listing for the album will be released in the coming weeks.

Looking forward to this. Should be interesting to hear being that everything is based off Piggy's riffs, rather than being done in a collaborative fashion as was the band's usual style.
