VOIVOD
CELEBRATE 40 YEARS WITH ANNIVERSARY ALBUM ‘MORGÖTH TALES’

‘MORGÖTH TALES’ due 21st JULY via CENTURY MEDIA RECORDS

Canadian sci-fi metal innovators VOIVOD are celebrating 40 eventful years of existence in 2023 and are pleased to announce a special anniversary studio album entitled Morgöth Tales, to be released on 21st July via Century Media Records.

Once more recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio, mastered by Maor Appelbaum and produced by VOIVOD, Morgöth Tales includes fresh studio (re-)recordings by the band’s current line-up of nine especially selected, not-so-obvious picks from the band’s hyper-classy and extremely diverse back catalogue (between 1984 and 2003) as well as a brand-new song and the album’s title- rack, ‘Morgöth Tales’.

On the album announcement, VOIVOD drummer Michel “Away” Langevin comments:
“Morgöth Tales covers 40 years of space exploration. It was really exciting for us to revisit a more obscure part of the Voïvod catalogue, from thrash-punk to prog-metal. The title track is a new song, which we started writing on the tour bus and hotels during the Opeth European tour in November/December 2022. It has the vibe of the experimental music we are doing nowadays, with a new twist I think. We also had the great thrill of getting Eric [Forrest] and Jason [Newsted] involved on this album. I hope you’ll dig it, Chewy, Rocky, Snake and I certainly had a blast recording it. All aboard and ready for take off!“

Pre-orders will become available 19th May.

The Ltd. CD Jewelcase in O-Card and Digital Album formats will also come with a cover version of the Public Image Ltd. track ‘Home’ as bonus. The LP format will come on 180g vinyl and with a 4page LP-Booklet in the following variants:
