Voivod have dropped a new single entitled, “Nuage Fractal (2023 Version),” from forthcoming record Morgöth Tales due out July 21. Morgöth Tales is a special album Voivod is releasing to celebrate their 40th anniversary.
Regarding “Nuage Fractal (2023 Version),” bassist Dominic “Rocky” Laroche states :
“We are excited to present the first single from our 40th anniversary album! Its solid drum and bass, alien guitar line on top, lyrics and melody that connects it all towards a spinning triangle bridge makes ‘Nuage Fractal’ unique, which represents the era of ‘Angel Rat’. Let’s get ready to celebrate this amazing journey of ‘Morgöth Tales’!”
Speaking about Morgöth Tales, Michel “Away” Langevin comments:
“’Morgöth Tales’ covers 40 years of space exploration. It was really exciting for us to revisit a more obscure part of the Voïvod catalogue, from thrash-punk to prog-metal to…? The title track is a new song, which we started writing in the tour bus and hotels during the Opeth European tour in November/December 2022. It has the vibe of the experimental music we are doing nowadays, with a new twist I think. We also had the great thrill of getting E-Force and Jasonic involved on this album. I hope you’ll dig it, Chewy, Rocky, Snake and I certainly had a blast recording it. All aboard and ready for take off!“
Voivod recently debuted another new song unrelated to Morgöth Tales. “Chaotic Harmony (Mystic Festival Anthem)” has been recorded as the official anthem for this year’s Mystic Festival event, taking place in Gdansk, Poland, June 7-10. Voivod will appear next to bands like Ghost, Gojira, Danzig, The Hellacopters and many more. The fest will also host an art exhibition by drummer Michel “Away” Langevin.
