Formed in 1982 in Jonquière, Quebec, Voivod are a Canadian metal band known for blending thrash, progressive and experimental elements. Key long-term members include Denis "Piggy" D'Amour (guitar), Denis "Snake" Belanger (vocals) and Michel "Away" Langevin (drums), who also designs much of the band's artwork.

Michel 'Away' Langevin (drummer) creates the band's artwork. Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour (guitarist) is deceased. Jason Newsted (former Metallica bassist) was a member of Voivod in the 2000s. Vocalist Denis 'Snake' Belanger had periods away from the band (other singers performed on some albums).

DeBaser reviews present Voivod as a consistently inventive Canadian band blending thrash, progressive and psychedelic elements. Critics repeatedly praise albums such as Nothingface, Dimension Hatröss and recent works like The Wake and Synchro Anarchy. Artwork by drummer Michel 'Away' Langevin and the legacy of guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour are recurring points. Overall reception across reviews is strongly positive.

 It is the seed of experimentation making its way through the distortions… timidly… before taking over.

 A masterpiece, therefore, that today still seems to be alone in the musical landscape and has a guaranteed place in the metal masterpieces' Olympus, where I'm sorry, but not everyone can enter.

 Goodbye Voivod, a cybernetic, sick, psychedelic, obsessive, pounding, martial, speedy & hard-rocking creature. Goodbye offspring of an immature thrash, grown and become an adult, unique and unrepeatable. Goodbye.
