The Canadian, or if preferred, the Québécois outfit Voivod is a band which with quite a few different lineups has taken part of the metal community since the early 80's. My interest in this band has been close to non-existent so far and after listening to this new EP and by basically thinking that it's an almost complete wreck, this situation is probably not ever gonna change.

Besides maybe the cover version of Hawkwind's Silver Machine, this EP holds almost no good moments musically and sonically it doesn't live up to my requirements since it comes out kind of rattling. The partially progressive and speedy approach and the experimental environment make the music come out without an attractive groove and the songs seem to painstakingly move forward without a clear target since they have a total lack of melodies. Add to all these unflattering words a vocal performance that is indeed not strong enough to build momentum to the songs.

It's a no-brainer that you have quite easily figured out already that I think that this is a really dull and poor encounter and that I think that the songs on this debacle are unable to bring forth any nice or positive pictures in my mind. Hence I believe that sharing more about my opinion on this EP is unnecessary.
