METAL BLADE RECORDS Pays Tribute To Late VOIVOD Guitarist

August 29, 2005

Andreas Reissnauer of the European office of Metal Blade Records has issued the following statement regarding the passing of VOIVOD guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour:

"This morning we got to learn the devastating news that VOIVOD guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour passed away Friday night.

"Another tragic loss for the world of metal. We at Metal Blade send our condolences to his family, friends and band mates Away, Snake and Jasonic.

"Piggy's work with and for VOIVOD is beyond what words can express. He found his own style of shredding the guitar and inspired thousands of others with his spacey sound. Albums like 'Killing Technology', 'Dimension Hatröss', 'Nothingface' or 'Negatron' will forever be some of my favorite metal albums.

"I am glad I had the chance to hang out with Piggy and the VOIVOD gang for a night in the late Nineties. Piggy was just a nice person and very funny in character. He will be missed!"
