The fifth album from this band from Canada.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.
This album is a break with both their German record label Noise and with speed metal. It is something different again....
The inclusion of Pink Floyd's psych rock classic Astronomy Domine should raise a big red/white/green flag in the record buyer's mind when they buy this album.
No, Voivod has not become psych rock band overnight. But their version of this song is not that different from the original version..... and the rest of this album.
Take some dissonant post-punk, add some metal and psych rock and you get most of this album. Most of it means this band is highly original and has plowed their own path on the surface on this earth.
The vocals are at least clean and a bit dissonant. A bit punk'ish flat and detuned.
The songs are between decent and good. I still think the band should improve and I am waiting for them on their next albums. Reviewing their albums is a rewarding task, to say at least. It is exciting......
