\"\"<\/a>Sci-fi thrash metal prog-punks\u00a0VOIVOD<\/strong>\u00a0are celebrating thirty-five years on the warpath, and are rrr\u00f6\u00f6\u00f6aaarrring into 2019 in the best possible way for Australian fans with 4 big East Coast shows kicking off next week!<\/p>\n

Riding high on the critical success of this year\u2019s compelling album\u00a0The Wake<\/em><\/strong>, fans can look forward to a machine pummelling cruise on the VOIVOD spacecraft through career defining albums\u00a0Killing Technology, Dimension Hatr<\/strong>\u00f6ss, Nothingface, Angel Rat<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0The Outer Limits<\/strong>\u00a0plus choice tracks from their most recent releases.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026the heaviness of any band that we listened to was gauged by how they live up to Voivod\u2026 and nobody ever did.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Dave Grohl<\/strong><\/p>\n

VOIVOD<\/strong>\u00a0have just had a massive 2018 and are kicking 2019 off with a run of Aussie shows next week.<\/p>\n

From Rolling Stone and Metal Hammer to Pop Matters,\u00a0VOIVOD<\/strong>\u2019s album\u00a0The Wake<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has been acclaimed as one of the best albums of 2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wake<\/em>\u00a0is top-notch, making it one of the strongest metal albums of the year. Voivod have progressed exponentially since their raw punkish days\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Consequence Of Sound<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFifty-six minutes of the wildest and densest music they\u2019ve made in a long time, it\u2019s unmistakably Voivod, but somehow bigger, more colourful and more avowedly psychedelic than ever before.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Metal Hammer<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wake<\/em>, the band\u2019s 14th LP, offers definitive proof that the old, weird Voivod is back: It\u2019s arguably their most hyper-detailed, gloriously geeky album since the Eighties.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Wake<\/em>\u00a0signals a new chapter for Voivod; they stand (again) at the blade edge of creative imagination and visionary execution in the world of extreme music.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Allmusic<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cHighly fascinating and characteristic compositions ooze animalistic intricacy, with brains and brawn that intrigue in equal measure.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Pop Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cVOIVOD\u00a0are one of the most underrated and unrecognized outfits in metal. You know it and I know it. They really deserve the recognition from this generation of metal music lovers who don’t quite know about\u00a0VOIVOD\u00a0and their incredible influence throughout the years\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Jason Newsted<\/strong><\/p>\n
