Such a unique band, I feel like Voivod doesn't get enough credit for being so awesome. Plus, their live shows are phenomenal.
They are truly underrated. Voivod are in a class of their own. There may be imitators, but none have perfected the alchemy of their sound.
This!!!!!
My only tattoos are Away’s art. Because Voivod is so awesome.
I was just lamenting Voivod’s lack of recognition on a metal site yesterday. One of my very favourite bands. And still releasing amazing stuff decades later.
They have a new EP coming out next week. We reviewed The Wake back in 2018.
BANGERTV - All Metal There's no denying that BangerTV flies the flag for Voivod. It's great to see.
The Killing Technology/Dimension Hatross/Nothingface threepeat is as good as any three album run gets. Their most recent album made my AotY list, too.
Killer trilogy
100%
Absolutely spot on 👍👍
Too bad Angel Rat exists. But with The Outer Limits they totally redeemed themselves!
@@timg9937 While not there best, and under pressure to "write radio songs", Angel Rat is still a great album.
I personally prefer "Killing Technology", one of my all time favourite albums infact, but "Dimension Hatröss" is extremely close behind.
Voivod is just an insane band, love the fuuuck out of 'em.
Agree KT better. Voivod freak here too
I really like KT too, although I find it hard to get around the weak sound of the album, especially compared to their newer stuff. Kinda leads to it getting less spins than it otherwise would :/
Man.....A Favorite is soooooooooooooo fucking hard..... I can't do it brah....sorry....its all so Good...
Nothingface is not thrash but still... another mindfucker.
@@max8m1 Weak sound? Maybe you heard the first CD pressing, which sucks. Listen to the LP or a CD remaster and then tell me it sounds crap...
This album was my gateway into Voivod in the late 80's. It has remained top-shelf for me since then. One of my all time favorite bands!! \m/.
Yes! Finally someone talking enthusiastically about Voivöd on YT. So criminally underrated in terms of wider audience recognition. And another YES! for recommending Mekong Delta. Their "Dances of Death" album made my day back in the day.
Love all the metal history lessons that come with every review Sarah does.
Saw them performing this masterpiece with a young Soundgarden and Faith No More in the 80s....amazing show, great live act!!!!
Thank you Sarah, your reviews are the best! Voivod is incredible and people need to know. I've been trying to get my friends to listen to them for years now. Dimension Hatross, and Nothing face are my favorite albums.
Finally! Great album and great ending for the video with two gigantic yet so underrated bands! Good job!
100% agreement on this review. This album was incredibly forward thinking for it’s time. An absolute classic in my opinion. VoiVod is my most listened top artist on Spotify every year. 🤘🏼🤘🏼
fav albums? cheers
This album got me into Voivod when I picked it up on cassette back in my high school days (graduated in 88)! This is still my favorite Voivod album and I make sure to get and listen to them all! It's insane they aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame. Oh and it's Brain Scan, not Brain Scar! Great review!
My favourite Voivod album! I just bought it on vinyl recently and it sounds better than ever. Thanks for the review of it Sarah. 🤘
Not only is it the best album that ever came out of Canada... It´s the best album ever made in music history!!!
Saw them live twice. First time I saw them was in 1986. They opened for Celtic Frost. About 20 people in the audience. After the show Away approached me and asked if I knew where to get some weed. I wish I did but it was dry everywhere. Second time was Dimension Hatross tour.
Even way back then, I knew I was hearing something that would last forever!
What a huge and important album and Sarah Kitteringham is one the best Music Critic outhere! Thank's BANGERTV.
Great album . Voivod are completely unique . being a French speaker i was lucky enough to meet Away before their gig at the "temple of Boom" in LEEDS England on their last tour , shared a spliff and had a chat in French . it was as if we'd known each other forever...WEIRD... but then again its flipping' VOIVOD . totally cool experience , totally cool dude. (being 50 i remember very well how different and awesome this band was when they hit the scene !) 5 skulls indeed !!
Nice story!
Seeing this band live for the first time last year was a life changing event. So inspiring and the last album "The Wake" is up there with the best material they've written.
I have loved Voivod since Killing Technology and I have to say - The Wake (their last) may be my favorite in their catalog!
It's great
They've totally reinvented themselves since Dan Mongraine joined! Target Earth was a return to greatness and The Wake is a masterpiece!

24. At the Gates - the Red in the Sky is Ours

20. Virus - the Agent that Shapes the Desert
19. Eyehategod - Dopesick
18. Incantation - Onward to Golgotha
17. Spiral Architect - A Sceptic's Universe

3. Ulver - Bergtatt
2. Demilich - Nespithe
1. Gorguts - Obscura
I loved this album very much!!! Good call for the review and good call on describing Voivod's sound. Voivod also had some fans in the punk rock world.
saw them a while ago in Ottawa and they blew my mind, incredible live band.
Great band.Always been a fan of their discordant,dissonant sounds- punk,proggy,trippy metal.They were definitely a stand out during the 80s thrash metal dayz.
Great video. Voivod has been groundbreaking since day 1. Genre-defying and just incredible, every release. Dimension Hatross is without question the pinnacle release, and the tour for that album was simply amazing. RIP Piggy. A true innovator.
One of my favorite metal acts of all time. Completely different from anybody else you’ve ever listened to. Virtually no bad albums (although the earliest 2 are a bit difficult to listen to due to the production). No two albums sound alike and their musical style varies from thrash to hard rock to industrial metal, yet is all unmistakably Voivod. I was blown away by them when I first bought Nothingface via Columbia Record Club back in the day and been a fan ever since.
Voivod has got to be one of the most original metal/rock bands in the past 4 decades. I pretty much enjoy everything they have put out. Also, great call on Mekong Delta. Big fan since their first album, the most recent one is a beast.
I breathe music so I fucking love it when someone is very passionate about it...and you definitely seem to love this band and this record so much so I got excited and I'm gonna listen to right away...I know Vektor is influenced by them and I love Vektor but I never really stopped to listen to Voivod so let's fucking go!!!
Really interesting...great interview...loved the recommendations at the end..dont even know those bands..very impressed. Thankyou.
Probably my second favourite album. It took me a while to get as well. I actually don't know most of the track names. I always listen to the whole thing.
A kind of people I can't describe.....they got a number between their eyes......
Voivod has been my favorite band ever since I found my dads "Nothingface" album when I was about 9 years old. The opening riff of the "Nothingface" track got me hooked immediately.
My highschool final project for Recording class was a cover of the first 1:30 of technocratic manipulators all done by me (still have it too 😋). So I guess Voivod could also be partly responsible for why I play the instruments I play.
Also its Brain "scan" 😋
Met them in Atlanta on the Wake tour, totally awesome people, humble and down to earth. I always have loved them from the start!
I FUCKING LOVE VOIVOD!!! What they did on Nothingface and Hattross, incredible! What they did with Pink Floyd's Astronomy Domine was life changing for me. Everything I wrote prior I needed to rewrite beginning to end.
Good call on Heir Apparent and great review. DBC's Universe also captures the Voivod vibes.
Amazing Band... there definitely must be a lock horns episode of ranking the Albums or at least going for the Essential Albums of this great Band. I follow this guys since rrröööaaarrr.. so i'll wait.....
They deserve an essential albums episode forsure.
@@BangerTV I saw this Tour at The Spectrum in Montreal and at the Sala Rosa in 2018 for the 30th of this album. Classic and out there Metal!!
@@BangerTV i didnt saw em live for a while...but guess that doesnt matter 😬but that episode would be a nice move... get Mr dunn out of his arm chair and 😉...
Yes, they definitely deserve a career retrospective episode.
Killing technology!!! By far their best album!! Fucking classic! We ARE CONECTED
Conected with one N...must be even more connected haha
I love that all your reviews feature the vinyl version of the albums you review.
I love Sarah’s reviews, she has such enthusiasm and knowledge of the bands she’s reviewing. I was never really a big fan of Voivod but they are a very good Progressive Metal Band. Killing Technology. Nothingface and Dimension Hatross are so good and they still put out good stuff in the last 30 years despite Piggy passing away and Blackie getting kicked out of the band (again). They’re due for a new album, it’s been a few years since The Wake.
why did Blackie get kicked out?
@@fcamiola he said he left for “personal reasons” but he was having problems with management and they recently stop paying him his royalties on the albums he played on in the past.
I got this when it came out and haven't recovered since. That said, I think Nothingface is even better and I still do enjoy Angel Rat and The Outer Limits a lot. Voivod was such a great band and Piggy such and awesome and atypical guitarist!
Stefan Roques piggy was so innovative. Give the new voivod a shot if you haven’t yet. The last album and ep were amazing. Mongrain grew up on voivod. Imagine piggy with Alan holdsworths technique. I really like
I totally agree. I love all three of those albums. I didn't get I to Dimension Hatross until 2010 after buying Nothingface right after it came out.
@@eightstringibanez I listened to EVERYTHING Voivod has ever released but, hey, let's admit the band was at its best between Killing Technology & The Outer Limits. Mongrain is not bad at all but he is no Piggy, there was only one Piggy and we lost him. R.I.P.
Stefan Roques Killing to Nothingface is my favourite era but I enjoy all of it. Played my kids The Outer Limits just this afternoon. R.I.P. Piggy.
Target Earth, Post Society and The Wake are really good, on par with most of their output and only behind the trio of albums Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross and NothingFace IMO. Honestly, like with any Voivod record they need time digest (maybe not Post Society so much which is more straight forward), but it is super rewarding.
GREAT JOB SARA🤘🤘We need u 2 do more reviews🤘VOIVOD is AWESOME PROG/THRASH METAL
Great appreciation of a genre bending record. This was mind blowing to me when it came out. A classic, as far as I'm concerned!
IM FROM PERU ,ONE OF THE BEST BANDS AND THIS ALBUM MADE A ONE STEP BEYOND WHAT WE HEARD IN THE PAST METAL,AND IS LIKE A PART OF VARIOUS VOLUMES OF AN A SCIENCE FICTION NOVELA,MUSIC,CONCEPT,DRAWINGS ...THEY DESERVE A MOVIE!
Love all Voivod, but especially 1987 - 1991. Have Dimension on Noise Records vinyl, very happy!
Voivod is so unique , not the same as everyone else.They do their own thing. 2023 and they are still way different than anybody else out there.
Voivod blew my mind as a teen in the 80s. Legends!
One of the great albums of my youth. Seen Voivod at least 10 times since they toured for this album. They're still putting out great music. Dead Brain Cells outta Canada was killer too. Thanks Banger🤘
D.B.C. are sweet. I remember when i got first album at the mall in the 80's.
I remember it was a hard listen at first. But it was magic. Yes so unique.
I wish more Canadians recognised the brilliance of Quebec's contribution to metal
Alberta knows voivod very well lol but does Quebec know disciples of power
Quebec is the main reason Canada is on the map in metal. Love from BC
Yep, Aggression, Treblinka, Groovy Aardvark, DBC, Obliveon, etc. (was friends with the first three.)
Bought it on cassette when it was released so that I could walk around, listening to it continuously, on my Walkman. Had this and ...And Justice For All permanently in my pocket.
One last thingy, we had absolutely no money, never really did, even today. Back then we were touring and back home going back on wealthfare basically, the only time we had a little bit of moeny is when we sign with Mechanics/MCA for Nothingface, that is.
Hey Sarah,
This a classic album by one of the greatest metal bands. Thank you for posting this.
I remember when this came out. I saw them on that tour. Hell I'd seen them three times by then. Saw them on the Rooooaaaarrr tour then Killing Technology and then Dimention Hatross.
First time I saw them they were opening for Celtic Frost. Total chaos at that gig!
Yes they were not for everyone. Fortunately my friends were into the more extreme and experimental metal as well as the prog metal as well.
To watch this band evolve from War and Pain has been awesome.
Great to see the unearthed segment back again 👍🤘
I've been there since Condemned to the Gallows....Voi Vod as a whole could be the Best Band in the World...Zero Ego...Nicest guys on the planet....Ive met Snake....and Away And Piggy. Spent a hold Pro Pain set next to Piggy....I couldn't believe it...childhood idol and all....gave them a Bud too for after the show...🤘🤘👊👊.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Killing Technology, Dimension Hatross, Nothingface and their self-titled albums are my favorites.
such an important and inventive band
Love this new series looking at older releases. Would love to see you cover Crimson from Edge Of Sanity
I've owned this album since it came out. it's my favourite thrash album of all time. It's a jazz punk psychedelic concept prog thrash masterpiece.
I agree with this review. I had this the week it came out. I also love that you mention Delta at the end! I put music of Erich Zann up there with the top techno metal.
Always happy to see Voivod get more praise and exposure, they're my favorite metal band of all time. And I'd love to see/hear you talk more about Mekong Delta, they're a big influence of mine and I rarely find people who are even familiar with them.
Holy shit, what a great idea.... Yes, Mekong Delta...Erich Zahn etc. Even by today's standards this stuff is still very progressive.... Funny you mentioned them, during the recent lockdown I revisited their music. and yes, seems like hardly anybody heard about them.
Nothingface is one of the best and most criminally overlooked metal albums ever.
Tribal Convictions is such a kickass song
The name of the album isn't meant to be pronounced in english. Is goes more like, in french, "dimension atroce" which would translate for atrocious dimension.
Fantastic review of the band I hold dearest to me heart.
Thank you for making this. My 11 year old kid and I just watched it - said to him a few months back “you’re probably the only 11 year old in the country going to school with Voivod in your headphones.” Last few weeks it’s been Sabbat. Subscribed.
Great review from one of my best album of all time. This album is so catchy, so creative, so brutal. Just let you know about a mistake on one title (since you know all the words and riffs of Dimension Hatröss ;) At 6:16 you say "Brain Scar", but this one (one of my favorite song) is called: "Brain Scan". I'm sure you know it anyway. And finally, thanks for your suggestions on similar genre. I'll look forward to these. Cheers!
Those Heir Apparent and Mekong Delta LPs are killer, I was hoping they were there for a reason!
Killing Technology is my fav, but this is a very close 2nd. Voivod is an acquired taste, but their influence and innovation can't be denied.
The first CD I ever bought, an absolute classic
1:44 haha, It happened to me too. I couldn't get this tape out of my walkman for a few months, I had to listen to it everyday.
I bought this on release, scratched the vinyl the same day and have loved it, including the scratch ever since. Killing Technology is also amazing, as is most of what they've ever put out. Away's concepts were awesome.
Sarah, you always have great recommendations! Thank you
Enjoyed your commentary. Being that your org is based in Canada, have you ever done a video about Beyond Possession? Criminally underrated crossover.
I regret that I have but 1 like to give, for this band was truly ahead of their time.
Wow, so good and articulate - and I agree 100%. Some next-level reviewing right there!
Great review - but out of reverence I have to correct “Brain Scar” to “Brain Scan” 😀🤘. You were spot on with that Mekong Delta recommendation. Thanks!
Make Sarah review all Voivod albums
We could ask.
seconded.
I don't have this one, but I love Voivod. such a weird-ass band. kind of like a thrashy, sci-fi Descendents trying to cover Rush.
Lol love that description.
There's a video of Dave Grohl talking about Voivod.
Stephen Egerton digs Voivod. Maybe you already knew that. Descendents circa '87- ALL are totally a pop-punk Voivod.
This one happens to be their best one.
thank you for this sarah
THANK YOU!!!!
Absolute classic and probably my fave one from them, 10/10.
Never got into voivod , really never gave them a chance , dont know exactly why i didnt, maybe their name or i heard a song that didnt do anything for me . But im going to give them a chance .
Going to start from the first album and work my way up .
Im into voivod since rrröööaaarrr, you got an amazing journey ahead of you...
Enjoy, and try to stay open when reaching Angel Rat 👍
There sure will be Phobos 😉
@@jensbaumann6945 phobos is very industrial i like it
@@jensbaumann6945 Angel Rat is a very good and misunderstood album. Sure, it's lighter, less edgy but it still sounds like Voivod! If you want my opinions the real duds are the albums without Snake whose unique vocals are integral to the true Voivod sound.
@@steroq6699 I don't think there is a dud. A single one.
@@steroq6699 dont get me wrong, i love Angel Rat... and i also enjoy negatron and Phobos though it was Strange that snake left, but in the end there were two great thrash Albums, my favorite will always be rrröööaaarrr;)
So for me the jasonic era was their weaker, some good stuff in there, but over all something was missing...
That's a tremendous review/history of Dimension Hatröss. Well done
Voivod, with Melvins, are maybe the most underrated band in all metal.
You make a good point
I need to get back to this band. Love the first two.
gotta love Voïvod! still so happy that Away designed my old band's logo
It's really one of those albums with so much of its own personality you can never forget it. If you're in the mood for more idiosyncratic Quebecois prog thrash, I highly recommend Obliveon's "From This Day Forward" (think the best of Voivod mixed with the best of Megadeth).
This hit the spot, more of these deep dives into classic albums, please!
Fuck yeah saw them live at the Foufs. Such an under-rated band.
Nice to hear the folks in Slint and Sonic Youth dug Dimension Hatröss. Makes sense
voivod is the greatest band in the galaxy i fucking love them it's nice to see some recognition i went nuts playing air guitar and singing alone when that macrosolutions to megaproblems clip started my favorite currently is angel rat which imo is underrated as hell and simply perfect all the tracks but killing technology dimension hatross and nothingface are also all equally perfect i love them so much i wish they were metallica rich and it all started with me when one day i listened to dimension hatross and thought jesus this is the worst band ever oh boy i could never imagine that once it clicked i would worship them
Easily one of my all time favorites. Simply a work of genius!
DH was my introduction to Voivod shortly after it was released. The Nothingface followed, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
This and Killing Technology are my absolute faves from VoiVod. Both EXCELLENT albums \m/
Voivod never EVER started to suck
She listened to Dimension Hatröss every day for an hour each way to/from work, yet she refers to BRAIN SCAN as Brain Scar...
that.
is.
humiliating.
ouch.
This episode kicks all of the ass. Sarah, thank you so much for all of the love and research into an all timer of a record, not to mention Canada's second best band. Rush is first, DUH!
Re: Heir Apparent...
I remember on the radio program Brain Pain (Seattle... pre-grunge...) when Jeff Gilbert first introduced this band as "Hair Appointment". Surely it was just a fun jab... and most bands of the era deserved the same with all the big hair... even Snake had some fancy do's... but whenever Heir Apparent pops up on my playlist I still sort of laugh about it.
This is really cool consept
Don't really need a video to tell me Dimension Hatross is one of the best metal albums ever written. Technocratic Manipulators is one of the best metal songs ever written. And Piggy's tone on the intro strike. Stunning. I was lucky to hear this in 1988.
I fucking love Voivod! I love Tau Cross too and I was really excted to hear that their 3rd album is coming. I know why Relapse didn't release it and I respect that. I'd love to know is that album totally buried. I have hear rumors that say that some label is releasing it but I don't know. I just want the Tau Cross album. They played here in Finland at Puntala Rock. Its one of oldest punk fests in Europe and I talked to Rob and Away and they were great dudes. Cheers from Finland, Petri
Great choice!!!
Brilliant choice of LP Sarah.
