Originally formed with the stage names of “Snake” (Denis Belanger - vocals), “Piggy” (Denis D'Amour - guitar) “Blacky” (Jean-Yves Theriault - bass), and “Away” (Michel Langevin - drums), Voivod laid out their musical progression for all to see. 1984’s War & Pain and 1986’s supremely titled Rrrooaar were very rough treatises on the merging of punk and extreme metal, with crude, brute-force results. Experimental to the core, Voivod braved the concept album and dove into cyberkenetic and extraterrestial concepts on 1987’s Killing Technology, 1988’s Dimension Hatross, and 1989’s Nothingface. This well-conceived trilogy saw jazz and prog-rock influences muscling out the punk-core leanings of their earlier efforts, and created a lasting legacy of boundary-breaking futuristic metal. 1991’s Angel Rat recording showed the band taking a more commercial turn, and marked the departure of founding bassist Blacky. The band continued to explore the fine line between pop sensibilities and prog-rock excursions on 1993’s The Outer Limits, which would be Snake’s last with Voivod. On 1995’s Negatron, original members Michel and Denis joined with bassist/vocalist Eric Forrest to make Voivod a trio, and form a more stripped-down, aggressive sound mirrored on 1997’s Phobos. 2000 brought the remix release Kronik and the live collection Lives.     Voi Vod Insect MP3 Metal A refreshingly stripped-down, non-nonsense live take from the almighty Voivod – the metallic originators (and only practitioners) of Punk Floyd.
