Voivod Announce New Album The Wake

It’s been five years since Target Earth, the last full-length album by Canadian prog-thrashers Voivod, slammed into Earth’s core (though the band has spent those years putting out plenty of splits and EPs).

But today, the band has announced a September 21 release date for a brand new album called The Wake, complete with track listing and cover art! As you can see above, the latter is totally badass. The former is as such:

1. Obsolete Beings
2. The End Of Dormancy
3. Orb Confusion
4. Iconspiracy
5. Spherical Perspective
6. Event Horizon
7. Always Moving
8. Sonic Mycelium

Looks like standard Voivod fare–totally badass sci-fi stuff. We’re super down.

Keep your eyes peeled, as the first new track from The Wake is set to drop a week from Friday on 7/20. In the meantime, though the band are most touring Europe right now, North Americans can catch them at one of the following festival dates:

7/29 –  Montreal (Canada) – Heavy Montreal Festival
8/4 – Lévis (Canada) – Festivent
8/18 – Las Vegas (USA) – Psycho Las Vegas Festival
