Voivod announce new album ‘Morgöth Tales’
VOIVOD have announced a new album!
Titled Morgöth Tales, the upcoming album from the Canadian progressive thrash metal band is the follow-up to last year’s Synchro Anarchy, and is scheduled to be released in July this year, via Century Media Records.
Once more recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio, mastered by Maor Appelbaum and produced by VOIVOD, Morgöth Tales includes fresh studio (re-)recordings by the band’s current line-up of nine especially selected, not-so-obvious picks from the band’s hyper-classy and extremely diverse back catalogue (between 1984 and 2003) as well as a brand-new song and the album’s title- rack, Morgöth Tales.
Speaking about the album, drummer Michel ‘Away’ Langevin says, “Morgöth Tales covers 40 years of space exploration. It was really exciting for us to revisit a more obscure part of the VOIVOD catalogue, from thrash-punk to prog-metal. The title track is a new song, which we started writing on the tour bus and hotels during the OPETH European tour in November/December 2022. It has the vibe of the experimental music we are doing nowadays, with a new twist I think. We also had the great thrill of getting Eric [Forrest] and Jason [Newsted] involved on this album. I hope you’ll dig it, Chewy, Rocky, Snake and I certainly had a blast recording it. All aboard and ready for take off!”
