Voivod Kick Off 40th Anniversary Tour Next Week

Canadian heavy metal legends VOIVOD will continue their 40th anniversary touring cycle next week. The US portion will kickoff May 9th in Asheville, NC and run through May 23rd in Pensacola, FL. Imperial Triumphant will tag along for most of those dates. From there, the band will head to Europe alongside Testament and Exodus. Tickets are available HERE.
Drummer Michel “Away” Langevin comments, “’Morgöth Tales’ covers 40 years of space exploration. It was really exciting for us to revisit a more obscure part of the Voïvod catalogue, from thrash-punk to prog-metal to…? The title track is a new song, which we started writing in 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 E-Force and Jasonic 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!“
