"This is the most bad-ass band I ever heard in my life. Every musician has a signature,
VOIVOD had four.
VOIVOD sounded like no one else. They are one of a kind." -
Dave Grohl (
FOO FIGHTERS,
NIRVANA)
"Infini", the latest album from
VOIVOD, landed at position No. 67 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
VOIVOD's final album featuring the group's late guitarist,
Denis "Piggy" D'Amour,
"Infini" was released in the U.S. on June 23 via
Relapse Records. The CD, which was issued in Europe via
Nuclear Blast, contains the last thirteen songs written by
Piggy and again features bassist
Jason "Jasonic" Newsted (ex-
METALLICA).
Jason played bass on all the songs and mixed the album, which was released as a deluxe, digipack CD and was also issued on vinyl as a double LP.
"Infini" was built from the final songs created by the band with
D'Amour. All his original demo guitar tracks appear as they were recorded — with no re-amping and no overdubs; just
Piggy as he played the tracks he envisioned in his small bachelor apartment, the amp in the bathroom, capturing his performance with the laptop given to him by
Jason.
