Voivod - Negatron (1995)

The eight album from this band from Canada.

The band was a trio on this album with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, guitars and vocals.

Wow !!!

After their two last albums where they nicely mixed psych rock and progressive metal, I did expect more of the same.

Negatron is nowhere near psych rock and progressive metal.

I wonder if this album is an album with left-over stuff from their speed metal days.

The music is still weird. But it is also a speed metal album. The tempo is mostly at two hundred miles an hour on this one hour long album. There is also a lot of industrial metal on this album.

The music is hard and very much extreme metal. Voivod did not go in the same direction as Anathema, as I did expect. They went into a screaching reverse...

The quality is a big step back from the likes of the Angel Rat album. There are some interesting stuff here. Nevertheless, this is nothing but a decent album.
