Voivod

[Clore]

Does anyone else here listen to Voivod?  They're a Canadian band, most
of their lyrics revolve around science fiction themes--sometimes
derivative, sometimes pretty clever.  They started out as basically a
thrashmetal/deathmetal/speedmetal band, but increasingly used jazz
chords and got into a heavy Pink Floyd influence (including covers of
Astronomy Domine and The Nile Song).  Best is probably Angel Rat, with
Nothingface and The Outer Limits as close seconds.  Their latest, with
changed lineup, Negatron, is more their original sound, but the CD has
cool multimedia animation on it.
