As previously reported,
VOIVOD have launched an exclusive e-card to promote their much-anticipated new album
"Katorz", set for release in North America on July 25 via
The End Records. The e-card features a biography on the album, the track
"The X-Stream" and a link to the five-minute trailer of an upcoming documentary by Canadian filmmakers
Sam Dunn and
Scot McFadyen (
"Metal: A Headbanger's Journey") about the life of
VOIVOD guitarist
Denis "Piggy" D'Amour. Fans can access the
VOIVOD e-card
here.
MTV.com recently reported that
VOIVOD are already making preliminary plans for the follow-up to
"Katorz". The disc will be the last to feature the band's late guitarist,
Denis "Piggy" D'Amour, and will contain the final 13 songs he recorded guitar parts for before dying of colon cancer in August. Singer
Denis "Snake" Belanger, drummer
Michel "Away" Langevin and bassist
Jason Newsted will likely rent a studio when
Newsted is done with the next season of the reality show
"Rock Star". "It'll happen in the next year when I have time to get away from it where we can really set it up real nice,"
Newsted said. "We'll put some money up for a studio and go in and make it rock."
