Genre: Progressive Metal | Style: Metal
Record Label: Century Media
Format: Album

Description: "The Wake"   is the fourteenth studio album, and eighteenth release overall, by Canadian heavy metal band Voivod. The album was released on September 21, 2018 through Century Media Records.
The artwork was done by drummer Michel "Away" Langevin. It is also a concept album, and the first Voivod studio album to feature bassist Dominique "Rocky" Laroche, who replaced Jean-Yves "Blacky" Thériault in 2014.
‘The Wake’ tells the story of the demise of the human race at the hands of a terrible force unleashed from under the seas. The story swirls with lysergic intensity like such classics as ‘Naked Lunch’, ‘War of the Worlds’, and ‘1984’. Reality is questioned in a chaotic maelstrom shaped on a sonic canvas that only Voivod can create. Snake’s lyrics provide a vast palate for your imagination to run wild.

"Morgöth Tales" by Voivod (2023) showcases the band's signature blend of progressive metal with a futuristic edge. The album's production is crisp yet dense, allowing each instrument to carve out its space within the complex arrangements. The guitars deliver a mix of thrashy riffs and intricate, dissonant melodies, while the bass provides a robust, pulsating foundation. Drums are dynamic, shifting tempos to drive the energy from relentless aggression to more contemplative passages. Tracks like "Killing Technology" and "Macrosolutions to Megaproblems" highlight Voivod's penchant for creating textured soundscapes that feel both chaotic and meticulously structured. The album's distinctive quality lies in its ability to balance raw metal intensity with cerebral, almost sci-fi atmospherics.
