VOIVOD STREAMING TITLE TRACK OF POST SOCIETY EP; PRE-ORDER LAUNCHED

"...Canadian progressive sci-fi metal innovators Voivod, are streaming the title track of their upcoming Post Society EP. This special release will be available in Digipak CD format as well as Digital Download on February 26th via Century Media Records.

Michel “Away” Langevin checked in to comment about the song, which is streaming below: “Another apocalyptic song from the RadicArt sessions. I think “Post Society” is a good indication of where we are heading for musically. Ingredients from all the Voivod eras with a futuristic touch. I can't wait to play it live!”

The Post Society EP, with artwork by Voivod drummer Michel “Away” Langevin, contains five studio tracks, including the previously vinyl-only new Voivod songs from the split 7” EP’s with label-mates At The Gates and Napalm Death, two brand new songs and a Hawkwind cover (“Silver Machine”) total playing time of 30 minutes. Pre-order at this location.

Michel “Away” Langevin checked in to comment on the release: “More songs from out in the woods! In between tours, we are steadily finding our way through recording the next album at RadicArt studio. Many riffs were composed on the bus but until the North American tour with Vektor in 2016, we will spend most of wintertime in Montreal writing another batch of material. Meanwhile, we hope you will enjoy this EP of good old thrash-prog-punk-metal or whatever people want to call Voïvod nowadays :)

Voivod’s previously announced first leg of their next US tour in February/March 2016 with support by Vektor, as well as Eight Bells from February 6th - 287h and Black Fast from February 28th - March 5th, has recently been expanded for a few dates.

The new EP is quite good-- kind of Target Earth meets Dimension Hatross-- picked it up at the show last week. I'm quite happy with the post-Jasonic direction-- not that those were bad albums-- but this EP and the last album are just more satisfying to me...
