Very few bands survive for four decades. Even fewer are those that continue to reach new creative heights, long after legendary status has been achieved. Voïvod were never like other bands: even as the thrash metal scene exploded in the early ‘80s, the Jonquière, Québec crew stood apart, both as unique visionaries and as proud subverters of the metallic norm. From early prog-thrash classics like Killing Technology and Dimension Hatröss through to the psychedelic explorations of The Outer Limits, Voïvod have been standard bearers for individuality and creative freedom for nearly 40 years.

From interstellar voyages and post-apocalyptic landscapes to reflections on power, conflict, and humanity’s uncertain future, VOIVOD have consistently challenged convention while pushing metal into unexplored dimensions. Their groundbreaking catalog remains a blueprint for progressive and avant-garde heavy music.

Join us as we welcome the architects of metallic science fiction, the pioneers of the unknown, the one and only VOIVOD.
