A long-lost Voivod gem has surfaced! Voivod's 2003 performance video of the track "Blame Us" has finally come to light thanks to Jeff Ertl and Keith McCabe, both former ILM Visual Effects artists and directors of the "We Carry On" video featured on MTV's Headbangers Ball.
"Blame Us" was released on Voivod's 2003 self-titled album. The album featured then-bassist Jason Newsted, who joined Voivod in 2001 shortly after leaving Metallica. Newsted played for Voivod between 2001 and 2008. The rest of the lineup at the time was the late Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, Michel "Away" Langevin, and Denis "Snake" Bélanger.
The video was originally show during Voivod's 2003 tour with Sepultura and features footage from shows in Tucson, AZ, Albuquerque, NM, and El Paso, TX. Additional scenes were filmed at the Bourbon Street Bar and Grill in Concord, CA, and Jason Newsted's Chophouse Recording Studio.
