VOIVOD: 'Killing Technology' Tab Book Now Available

September 24, 2012

Canadian metal innovators VOIVODhave released the "Killing Technology" music book containing guitar and bass transcriptions with tabs transcribed by current VOIVOD guitarist Daniel "Chewy" Mongrain (ex-MARTYR).

VOIVOD's third release, "Killing Technology" (1987),still has elements of the band's early extreme metal sound, but they show hints of things to come — namely, more mature and interesting songwriting. All you have to do is listen to the beginning of the appropriately titled "Tornado" to hear the young metal band grind and thrash with the best the '80s had to offer. There are several tracks that stretch past the six-minute mark (the opening title track, "Forgotten In Space" and "This Is Not An Exercise"),but VOIVOD knows how to hold interest during these extended pieces.

The group is comprised of excellent musicians who have no problem whatsoever with the challenging song structures and odd time signatures that arise on "Killing Technology".

One of the band's all-time classics, "Ravenous Medicine", resides on this album, which makes it an essential purchase for VOIVOD fans.

Also available: "Dimension Hatröss" (1988) music book.

VOIVOD's new album, "Target Earth", which will be released on January 22, 2013 (one day earlier internationally) via VOIVOD's own company, Iron Gang Factory, and Century Media. The CD was recorded in January at Pierre Rémillard's (OBLIVEON, CRYPTOPSY, KRISIUN, MISERY INDEX) Wild Studio in a small town called St-Zénon in Quebec, Canada. The follow-up to 2009's "Infini" will contain the band's first music to be written with Mongrain following the passing of original axeman Denis "Piggy" D'Amour in 2005.
