Hailing from Canada, Voivod are possibly the most creative band to master the metal form still to this day. Crossing over from Industrial, Avant-garde to Progressive and Metal!! Their legacy, complete with incredible recordings that finds a creativity unlike any other of their peers and followers, culminates near 20 years of sheer inventiveness and recording genius. And even during less productive or chaotic years, the essence that fans immediately fell in love with still always rises to the surface – the Voivod entity always intact and in focus. Fans will not be disappointed there is plenty of material here to keep all Voivod-heads happy!!!
