Voivod

Canada's pioneering metal band VOIVOD have set July 25th, 2006 as the North American release date (via THE END RECORDS) for their much-anticipated album ‘KATORZ.'

The legendary band has worked alongside veteran producer Glen Robinson (VOIVOD's ‘Nothingface,' Tea Party, GWAR) to create an album that will continue the legacy of their fallen friend/bandmember/guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour.

‘Katorz' was recorded at Multisons studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada where Robinson and the band - drummer Michael "Away" Langevin, singer Denis "Snake" Belanger and bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted - utilized all of the guitar parts that founding guitarist "Piggy" had recorded for the record on his laptop with ProTools before his death last summer.

Artwork and a full track-listing for the album will be released in the coming weeks.
