VOIVOD - North American Release Date Set

[Wyvern]

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.

I'll buy it. I thought the last one was really good.

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.
