However, the band released their twelfth studio album in 2009 featuring his last recorded music. Despite this setback, Voïvod continues to perform live and release albums to critical acclaim. Their album [m1425025] even reached number 8 on Rolling Stone's Best Metal Albums of 2018 list.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"too-scared-to-scream-picture-disc","title":"Too Scared to Scream - Picture Disc","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis is a Record Store Day 2018 item.

The limited Svart exclusive colorway comes with a slipmat.  Target Earth is the thirteenth studio album, and the sixteenth release overall, by the Canadian heavy metal band Voivod, which was originally released in 2013. This is the first Voivod studio album to feature Daniel \"Chewy\" Mongrain on guitar (replacing the late Denis \"Piggy\" D'Amour) and the only one since 1991's Angel Rat with Jean-Yves \"Blacky\" Th?riault on bass. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The main songwriters on Target Earth were Jean-Yves \"Blacky\" Theriault, in his first songwriting credit with Voivod since 1991, and Daniel \"Chewy\" Mongrain, who replaced Piggy. As Michel \"Away\" Langevin explained, Mongrain's role was both challenging and natural: \"He had to think from his point of view how Voivod should sound like nowadays...He learned to play guitar listening to Voivod, and he knows all the albums, he's a fan of all the eras, so it feels very natural for him to write Voivodian material.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"Target Earth is somehow, against all odds, the best Voivod album since probably The Outer Limits.

Welcome back, guys.\" - The Angry Metal Guy  \"For this, VOIVOD's thirteenth studio album, ever present drummer Michel \"Away\" Langevin and long reinstated vocalist Denis \"Snake\" Belanger managed the coup of dragging founding bassist, Jean-Yves \"Blacky\" Theriault out of retirement, making it three-out-of-four original VOIVOD-ers - the better to facilitate new guitarist Daniel \"Chewy\" Mongrain's unenviable task of filling Piggy's space boots. To his credit, Mongrain blends right in, and so too does \"Target Earth\" blend in with numerous portions of VOIVOD's itinerant musical past, arguably making it the band's first truly \"regressive\" - not \"progressive\" - album, and, as such, likely good news for the band's oldest fans.\" - Blabbermouth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Svart Records","offers":[{"title":"Magenta LPx2","offer_id":50407791067467,"sku":"2028501","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black LPx2","offer_id":50407787102539,"sku":"2028497","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Target_Earth_953bd4fa_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726600667"},{"product_id":"forgotten-in-space","title":"Forgotten In Space","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt’s been an exhilarating 40-year ride for Voivod, the Jonquière, Quebec quartet that has, over the years, defied the odds, faced tragedy head on and also seen the band rise above many of the contemporaries to a point where the band’s intricate progressively fuelled heavy metal sound also brings with it honours and awards.
