Dude, pls keep up with content like this. I work as a cashier in a tobacco store in a small town, so I don’t really have many customers 😅 so i watch your videos and this really helps with my boredom and monotony. Love your takes with album ranking videos as much as the Retrospectives.
I first heard Voivod when they released Dimension...it was an awakening for me! Then I heard Killing Technology & was blown away. It didn't take long for me to look like Blacky in the photo on the rear of Killing!
I came across Dimension Hatross back in 1989 in a used record store in Laramie, Wyoming (of all places). I was all of 15 and I had never heard anything like that before. And obviously I'm still a fan to this day. Plus I'm one of those people who loved Angel Rat when it came out. To me, that run from Killing Technology to The Outer Limits is untouchable. I'm also fond of Katorz and Infini as it's a genuine tribute to the last music Piggy made. I get that those albums are different, but they never had the chance as a band to work on those demo riffs on his laptop. Once that context is established, those two albums are pretty good to my ears. But the last two albums are about as good as anything they've ever done. I'm just glad this band keeps finding reinvention and new winds to keep them around.
hope you haven't missed the awesome EP "Post Society" which was released between "Target Earth" and "The Wake". It should have been a full length album but due to Blackys departure they couldn't release more than this EP. So sad that we'll never get the full song of the final track from Target Earth, which served as a first teaser for the next album.
I only missed Post Society out of the video because it wasn’t a full length - thanks for filling in that bit of info. I love Post Society - I also have the shirt haha - plus I think the “Silver Machine” cover is pretty cool.
hey man, comment is 2 weeks after release but just hoping you see this, i think a video on the band Gehenna would suit the channel really well, or just check them out yourself, have a good one
it's a damn shame that Voivod only truly made one mind-blowing masterpiece that will stand the test of time forever... DIMENSION HATROSS... they've tried and tried and tried and tried but nowhere near as brilliant and esoteric and masterful.... HATROSS is forever and it's a damn shame they barely play it live.
very interesting review for this great band. I think the Negatron to Infini periods were hard for metal anyway not only for Voivod. Cant recall many great albums from this period all in all. The metal scene faced competition originally from grunge and then from all these electronic type of genres. I have witnessed many of my friends converting to other genres. But 2014 onwards, metal music is reviving and Voivod is a great part of it. I was hooked to them with Dimension Hatross but i find now the Wake and Synchro Anarchy honestly great. Maybe The Wake is bit better due to the End Of Dormancy and the experiment that they have done with the brass instruments. Looking forward to hear their work with the Montreal Symphoinic orchestra beginning of 2025
@@linesinwax4996 Sure thing! Those tracks "Insect" and "Project X" are total bangers in my opinion. Also love the Jim Thirlwell from Foetus guest spot on "DNA". I have to admit I never got to "Phobos", though.
Outstanding review of an ecclective discography. My only disagreement is the Jason Newsted era. I saw the Voivod and Katorz tours, and the music was heavier and harder than the cds. Maybe those albums suffered from a poor mixes.
My friends kid loves my Rrröööaaarrr-tank-shirt and he's disappointed if I turn up for a visit not wearing it. Haven't watched the videos yet, but seeing as you've done Scorn previously, how'd you feel about a retrospective and/or rank on Godflesh?

@linesinwax4996 it's almost just worth going through chronologically so you can see how they change. Thieves might be a good example song for what they're known for though
glad you made this. I'm gonna have to listen to some voivod. i remember a friend saying i had to listen to them, and showed me the cover of Megatron, and just said "get that shit out of my face." lol
@@linesinwax4996 i think i might listen to that one first. i mean no matter how i felt about the cover like 20 years ago; the fact i instantly remember it, when i only saw it for like five seconds, means they did something right.

Thank you! I’m really glad you enjoyed the videos. That’s really cool.
Very simply, my favorite band of all time. Thank you.
They really are quite special! We are very lucky that they are still active.

Voivod had the look down in the 80s that’s for sure!
Newstead was on Infini. Blacky and Chewy are on Target Earth in 2013.
ANb covered Forgotten in Space on their split with Cattlepress, which were the first 17 tracks off the Bestial Machinery comp.

I’ve never actually checked out Gehenna, there’s just too many good bands haha
Do you recommend any album in particular to start with?

I like 4 albums more than Hatross (Phobos, Killing, Nothingface and Wake) however i think they nailed near perfect albums many times.
@@DeYogs you can't like anything more than Hatrōss!! That's lunacy!!
@@DEFKONSIXTYSIXlml Or taste hahahahah
Hatross is their finest hour imo. Every song is just catchy as hell. Just perfect

Did he say he didn't discover voivod till 2000 I've been there since the beginning no words necessary puppy I'm just too old
D school I guess
Dude, where's the picture of the dog smiling Or confused guy? 😢
Lmao
I’ve betrayed my roots
@@linesinwax4996😂
I saw VoiVod on musique plus back probably after Rooooaaaarrrr was released… probably 86-87
Nice one, friend! My fav Voivod LP's are "Rrröööaaarrr" and "Negatron", if you'd like to know.
Hallo hallo - thank you!
Good picks! The e-force stuff is definitely underrated

Godflesh is one of my favourite bands and it’s absolutely on the cards :)
I get sick when I hear this guy with his salivating pronunciation.
I apologise on behalf of the entire race of Welsh people 🏴 💦
Iove Angelrat!
Phobos is not pronounced FULL BOSS but FOBOS, either from Latin or Greek. Good video though!
Oh shit piggy rip
Outer Limits cover looks like Charles Burns.
Vektor and Martyr were influenced by voivod. It’s on paper.
I’ve never heard Martyr, nice one!
@@linesinwax4996 chewey is the lead guitarist and singer for Martyr. He founded it with his brother on bass. They are heavily influenced by voivod and probably the main reason why he was picked for the gig. They’re a really cool band.

Freedoom is the best track off of angel rat

I’m overdue a retrospective, watch this space!
I never liked To pigeon hole bands am music period no hate here just me yeah
I’ve been listening to voivod, probably longer than you’ve been alive. The one thing I can say with 100% certainty is that they’re NOT thrash metal.
Back then, it was lumped in with thrash. It was certainly 'thrashy' but yeah way more going on than standard thrash.
