Voivod sounds like they have done their homework. Jason Newstead (“Jasonic”)plays the bass on this release. unlike Metallica, which gave his bass playing the cold shoulder, Voivod lets his bass playing shine. this release sounds heavy, and from what I was told, is their final one. it is too bad that Denis D’Amour (“Piggy”) died, because he was very talented. Denis’ guitar playing is very precise, which brings to mind the band Death, which also incorporated jazz into their metal as well.
this album is a fitting tribute to Piggy. RIP Piggy.
