Voivod announce new album ‘The Wake’

VOIVOD have announced a brand new album!

The upcoming album, titled The Wake, is the highly anticipated successor to 2013’s Target Earth album and the 2016 mini-album Post Society and is scheduled to be released in September this year. Speaking about the upcoming album, drummer Michel ‘Away’ Langevin says, “we are thrilled to let you know that our new album, The Wake, is completed! The music is like a futuristic prog thrash metal trek with many twists and turns, and the story involves the usual Voivodian topics: disasters, chaos, conflicts, strange plots and alternate consciousness. We are excited with the result and can’t wait to get the material out to you this fall!”
