Voivod
Voivod are a progressive metal band from Jonquiere, Quebec, Canada, with a very distinct sound. Formed by Denis "Piggy" D`Amour, Michel "Away" Langevin and Jean-Yves "Blacky" Theriault, the fledging group soon found the perfect singer in Denis "Snake" Belanger. A blend of thrash with some progressive rock thrown in (on Killing Technology), and lyrics leaning heavily on sci-fi imagery. One of the first Canadian punk and thrash bands to enjoy success outside of Canada, they released four albums in the mid `80s before being signed to a major label.
