Voivod's Symphonique: Live with Quebec Symphony

0:00On April 17th, Canada's Prague Medal Legends Voivod just dropped news on their new live album Symphonic, teaming up with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra. It's dropping worldwide, June 5th, 2026, via Century Media Records. They recorded it live, June 4th, 2025, at the Grand Theatra in Quebec City, packing 12 tracks into 73 minutes of, futuristic metal fused with full orchestra power. The set list pulls from their best hits like experiment, holographic thinking, and a killer pink-floored cover of Astronomy Dominae. First single for Gannon in Space Symphony is out now with the slick visualizer. It's got that epic cinema vibe, like a dystopian sci-fi soundtrack come to life. Drummer Away Langevin calls it a lifelong dream, especially since Voivod formed in Quebec back in 1983. The Taurus Chewy Mongrain arranged some brass work before, and they love how it elevates their sound. They're planning more shows, like one in 2027, with another local orchestra.

1:04This builds on earlier collapse, like two nights with the Montreal Symphony in January 2025. Voivod's evolved from speed metal roots to influential Prague thrash, hitting Billboard with nothing face in 1989 and inspiring everyone, from Ghost to Opeth. They're touring behind mortgage tales, re-recording deep cuts, and their dock we are connected premiered last year at Fantasia Fest. Symphony keeps their wild legacy blasting forward, pure metal innovation, with strings attached. I'm Corey, with the story, and you've been listening to music news today, AI-powered music coverage.
