VOIVOD Drummer Interviewed At U.K.'s DOWNLOAD Festival; Video Available

June 18, 2009

Baconmusic's James Allman conducted an interview with drummer Michel "Away" Langevin of Canadian metal innovators VOIVOD at this year's Download festival, which was held June 12-14 at Donington Park, United Kingdom. Watch the eight-minute chat below.

Three new songs from VOIVOD — "Deathproof", "Earthache" and "Global Warning" — are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. All three tracks will appear on VOIVOD's final album featuring the group's late guitarist, Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, which is scheduled for release in the U.S. on Tuesday, June 23 via Relapse Records. The CD, which will be issued in Europe via Nuclear Blast, contains the last thirteen songs written by Piggy and again features bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted (ex-METALLICA). Jason played bass on all the songs and mixed the album, which will be released as a deluxe, digipack CD and will also be issued on vinyl as a double LP.

"Infini" was built from the final songs created by the band with D'Amour. All his original demo guitar tracks appear as they were recorded — with no re-amping and no overdubs; just Piggy as he played the tracks he envisioned in his small bachelor apartment, the amp in the bathroom, capturing his performance with the laptop given to him by Jason.

"Infini" track listing:

01. God Phones
02. From The Cave
03. Earthache
04. Global Warning
05. A Room With A V.U.
06. Destroy After Reading
