VOIVOD drummer Away has issued the following update to fans regarding their upcoming album and other projects for 2006:

“Dear VOIVODians,

“We will do our best to make a great record that Piggy would be proud of as we worked very hard for the past two years on the new songs. Jasonic has already put down his bass tracks and Glen Robinson and I will edit Piggy’s guitar tracks in December. We will track my drum parts and Snake’s vocals in Montreal in January. Then we’ll mix it, get it mastered and released as soon as possible via The End Records in USA, Nuclear Blast in Europe and Hypnotic-Linus/Universal in Canada.

“In other news, I am still working on my long overdue art book, coming out on Troubleman Unlimited in 2006. Also coming out next year, DVOD-2, our second DVD which will be covering the 90’s line-up with Eric Forrest. Thanks for your patience!

Away

“P.S. If you get a chance to see the movie “Metal: A Headbanger’s History” it is great and has a short interview with Piggy in it. We saw the Montreal premiere a few weeks ago at the invitation of Sam and Scott the filmmakers and they introduced the movie by dedicating it to Piggy, which was very cool of them.”
