Description
Voivod, a Canadian underground band that became famous in the early 1980s, is typically associated with innovative progressive metal. Voivod’s thrash-progressive rock-punk sound has inspired other bands. Experimental music has garnered the band legions of admirers who love to jam. Recently, their artwork, especially “Black Skull Away,” has shown their incessant originality and intellectual depth, and their varied catalogue has reflected this.
Denis “Piggy” D’Amour, Jean-Yves “Away” Theriault, and Stéphane “Echie” Lavoie founded the band in 1982 in Jonquière, Quebec. Bassist Eric “Chewy” Langlois joined later. “War and Pain” and “Dimension Hatröss” pioneered science fiction and sophisticated stories in metal. Album covers, merchandise, and promotional materials show the band’s creativity and complement their music.
Like the band, “Black Skull Away” has striking artwork. Their hand-drawn style evokes comic books and graphic novels, with post-apocalyptic landscapes, colourful mythological themes, and skull imagery. These works showcase their ability to combine music with visual art. Throughout the band’s career, the artworks took on new meanings, reflecting their eras and artistic ambitions.
Voivod makes a wide range of band gear for fans to show their support. The dynamic “Black Skull Away” artwork will be on more than T-shirts. Along with clothing, fans may buy pins, patches, posters, and hats with distinctive artwork that reflects the band’s themes. These items are important treasures and connect fans to the band’s history and culture.
Voivod’s latest albums, “Target Earth” and “The Wake,” show their dedication to evolving while staying faithful to their sound. In “The Wake,” the band elaborates on existential dread with complex riffs and time signatures. This album, like their classics, has been lauded for smoothly combining new inspirations and experimenting.
Due of their unique place in heavy metal, bands like Meshuggah and Gojira, which combine progressive elements and intricate time signatures and incorporate themes of existence and nature, are likened to them. Both ensembles explore new musical and visual territory, something Voivod perfected long ago.
Voivod releases CDs and limited-edition merchandise that explore their artistic perspective. Vinyl albums contain extensive artwork, and record sleeves often include art prints. Signed posters and limited-edition graphic novels on the band’s music are another way they thank fans. These bring fans closer to the band and performance, making the concert more personal.
Voivod has always experimented with art, and “Black Skull Away”‘s artwork is a continual reminder of that. Their unique music and goods reflect their welcoming mentality, pulling listeners into the band’s journey. Voivod continues to inspire heavy metal with their visually spectacular products and thought-provoking compositions.
