VOIVOD Frontman Launches PARANOLAND Project

August 14, 2007

In a complete departure from what they have done before, Denis "Snake" Belanger (VOIVOD) and longtime friend Botcher (AGGRESSION) spent the last year working on a project called PARANOLAND. Experimenting with modern sounds and samples over knockout riffs and twisted arrangements, the group stepped up its game with the involvement of guitarist Frank Legendre (GROOVY AARDVARK) and drummer Peter Jackson (B.A.R.F., UNION MADE).

The first three songs from PARANOLAND — "Paranoland", "Leave U" and "Farewell" — are available for streaming on the band's MySpace page. The tracks were reportedly produced by Glen Robinson (VOIVOD, GWAR, ANNIHILATOR).

VOIVOD drummer Michel "Away" Langevin has told Greg Prato of Billboard.com that he is keeping busy with several upcoming VOIVOD-related releases, including the group's final studio album, comprised of tracks left over from the last sessions with late co-founding guitarist, Denis "Piggy" D'Amour. The group will congregate in the fall to finish off the tracks. Also forthcoming are reissues via Sanctuary Records of all of VOIVOD's releases for the Noise label during the 1980s. Each album will be remastered and updated with a DVD of vintage live performances.
