Just back from a couple of gigs with Overkill in Canada. Super nice guys !
Phobos is coming out in June in USA (Slip Disc/Mercury) and Japan (Panasonic).
The plan for this summer is taking shape. In May we will work on the 12
songs we wrote for the next album. In June we will demo them. We will be in
Europe in July playing festivals and clubs, then we will kick off a U.S
tour starting with the Milwaukee Fest at the end of July. We will return to
Europe in August. We will take the rest of the year to finish the last
chapter of the Voivod legend.
As for the side projects it is also on its way.
In June we will release a special L.P for fans, which will include 4 tracks live in Berlin off the '96 Negatron tour, 4 unreleased studio tracks from the Negatron/Phobos sessions and a couple of crazy remixes. The CDrom is coming together also. I give myself till the end of the year to finish it. Along with all artwork and videos the CDrom will explain the history of Voivod the Vampire and the band. The music is live and was recorded at the CBGB's in NYC and the Dynamo Fest in Holland. We are planning a trip to Japan so we can record a 3rd show to update the live part of the CDrom. My artbook is coming along too. Please be patient. The video for The Tower is done. Look out for it !
Thanks for your support !
