For a long time fans of Voivod have been weary of what would happen when the band inevitably ran out of material left over from former guitarist, Dennis D’Amour (Piggy). Which is completely understandable, as Piggy was seemingly the key writing component of the band for the the first two decades of their formation. So, when it was made known that the band’s latest record, Target Earth, would be the first album to feature contributions from Daniel Mongrain (Chewy), the man who took over lead guitar duties for the band’s tours once Piggy passed away, weariness turned into apprehension. It’s been made abundantly clear that when a pivotal member of a band is replaced, well the results can be less than desirable.

Voivod-Target-Earth

Oh boy, here we go again. Voivod‘s thirteenth studio release, Target Earth, isn’t due out for release until next Tuesday (January 22), but luckily for fans of the band you can now stream the album in its entirety at Loudwire. I’ve only been able to get in two listens so far, but I’m really liking what I’m hearing. If my schedule clears up I hope to be able to review it within the next week or so. It’s a mixture of old school thrash metal, with a nice dose of progressive weirdness that perfectly accentuates the band’s style and sound. If you’ve heard Voivod in the past, you know what to expect, to a certain extent. It’s a really high quality release. Go listen. Now.
