Voivod will finally be following up their 2013 album Target Earth and their string of splits with bands like At The Gates and Napalm Death with a brand new album called The Wake. The album is expected to be released sometime late this September via Century Media Records, and drummer Michel "Away" Langevin had to following to say about the album.
“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! Also, try to catch us when we tour Europe in September and October. It will be a great opportunity for the band to test some songs from our upcoming album."
The band will also embark on an extensive European tour around the release of the album with Maggot Heart, Nightrage, and Bio-Cancer.
