Voïvod

Europe 2024 Deluxe Edition, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Stereo, 180 Gram, Multi Splatter. LTD 200.
This is where Voïvod fully mutate. Still fast and aggressive but suddenly way smarter and far more unsettling. Sci fi paranoia everywhere, riffs that zig instead of zag, odd time feels sneaking in without turning into prog nonsense. It sounds cold, mechanical, and slightly hostile in the best way. A genuine step forward that opened the door for a whole strain of weird thrash and tech metal that followed. Heavy, cerebral, and still hits hard. FFO Coroner, Watchtower, early Sepultura, Megadeth when they got clever, late 80s tech thrash
