Canadian technical speed metal band Voivod announced the November 27 release of a live album, Lost Machine – Live, recorded on their last tour for their most recent studio album, The Wake. The tracks on this album were recorded in Québec City during 2019.
The band issued the following statement along with the release of one sample track from the album:
“Here it is at last, the first single and video from our upcoming release ‘Lost Machine – Live’. The footage used in this clip comes from a hometown show in Montreal in the summer of 2019, and the audio is from a show in Québec City 2 weeks later, where we recorded the entire live album. We were obviously excited to play in our province of Québec, in front of families and friends, as documented in this rendition of the song ‘The Lost Machine’. The video is directed by Felipe Belalcazar, who is also working on a VOIVOD documentary. I did the art on the road across the globe last year, and it was animated by Jaan Silmberg. More to come soon, enjoy,” states VOIVOD’s drummer Michel “Away” Langevin about the release.

Piggy is gleefully riding Satan’s pork. And all the rest of this “band” must do the same.
Dunno. I thought their recent material showed somewhat of a return to form.
Their first three albums were impressive for the time in which they were released and still hold up fairly well. However, when I’m being brutally honest with myself, Die Kreuzen was the band Voivod tried to be and never could.
