Sonic Unyon Metal is extremely proud to announce the confirmed upcoming release of a live album from
The Almighty VOIVOD!
Late in 2009,
Voivod released their live Tatsumaki DVD, filmed the previous fall when they toured Japan for the first time ever. To celebrate its release of the DVD,
Voivod performed in front of a sold-out crowd on December 12th, 2009 at Club Soda in their adopted hometown of
Montreal, Quebec. It was their first headlining show in the city of
Montreal in more than
Ten years and it was celebrated in grand style. It was a fitting end to a busy year that
Saw them named Metal Band Of The Year at the 2010 Indie Awards in Canada. The show was recorded for posterity and is now being released as the fifteen-track
Warriors Of Ice, the first official
Voivod live album to feature original band members Denis ‘Snake’ Belanger on vocals and bassist Jean-Yves ‘Blacky’ Theriault, as well as new guitarist Dan "Chewy" Mongrain.
Set for release on June 21, 2011,
Warriors Of Ice highlights the classic period of the original
Voivod lineup as well as a few new songs, all raging with the band's notorious live energy. Containing songs from their classic albums, spanning from 1984’s War And
Pain right up through 1991’s
Angel Rat, as well as two songs from their 2009 Infini LP, the album is built of VOIVOD's signature songs, from "Voivod" and "Nuclear War" to "Tribal Convictions" and "Astronomy Domine." The cover art for
Warriors Of Ice was designed by drummer Michel Langevin, a.k.a. Away, as always
