Voivod release new single “Planet Eaters”
Canadian prog metal band Voivod have unveiled their new single “Planet Eaters” today.
The track is the first single from the band’s forthcoming studio album Synchro Anarchy. The song comes with a music video directed by Pierre Menetrier. Voivod drummer Michel “Away” Langevin said this about how they discovered Menetrier:
“On April 21st, 2021 an animated video for the song “Nothingface” popped up online (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uqv9G24YzI). The video was done by Pierre Menetrier on an Amiga computer in 1991, which I thought was beyond cool. The spectacular imagery and visual effects were just perfect for a Voïvod song. After wrapping up the recording and mixing of the “Synchro Anarchy” album, we all agreed on “Planet Eaters” as the first single/video. We thought the song had a vintage “Nothingface”/”Hatröss” vibe, so I immediately contacted Pierre and asked him if he could make a video for the song. Once again, the result is just mind-blowing. You just can’t get more Voïvodian than that!”
Pre-orders for Synchro Anarchy are live right now. Aside from getting the album, fans can also pre-order the deluxe edition, which includes the live album Return To Morgöth - Live 2018. The live album was recorded during a 2018 appearance at the Festival Jonquière En Musique in the band’s hometown.
