VOIVOD sind wieder am Start. Nachdem es vor ein paar Monaten zum Split kam, ist nun schon wieder die Rede von Festival Shows und von einem neuen Album – mit keinem geringeren als Snake am Mikro, der nun schon über sieben Jahre aus der Band war. Das neue Werk soll im nächsten Jahr erscheinen, ex-Metallica Bassmann Jason Newsted wird dabei nicht nur den Bass zupfen, sondern auch gleich die Regler am Mischpult als Coproduzent bedienen. Lest hier das Original-Statement:
“Early this year Voivod split up. After a few months on hiatus, Denis D’Amour and Michel Langevin decided to reunite with original singer Denis Belanger aka Snake, after a 7 year absence. Voivod is aiming to have a new record out in 2002 and will definitely make the summer festivals for 2002. Jason Newsted will play bass and co-produce the new studio album. A live bass player is yet to be announced. Michel Langevin and Denis D’Amour are sad to see Eric go and treasure the music they made together but look forward to the future. They are also excited to have Jason’s involvement as he has been a long time supporter and friend. There have been many obstacles, as in all careers, but the future certainly looks good for Voivod.”
