Napalm Death
NAPALM DEATH and VOIVOD will join forces at the end of January for a North American Tour aptly titled THROUGH SPACE AND GRIND, announce Century Media Records.
NAPALM DEATH are set to release, Apex Predator – Easy Meat on January 27 right after they return from the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise and the night THROUGH SPACE AND GRIND starts. They band had this to say:
“As a celebration of both the unconventional and more straight-out methods of musical attack, I think this tour line-up really hits home. To think that 30 years ago I was marveling at the savage eccentricities of ‘War and Pain’ and now I’m sharing stage / living space with Snake, Away and co…surreal, almost. From Napalm’s perspective, we’ll bring the overdrive to the spaciness – it’s all going to rage whichever way you slice it.” -Mark ‘Barney’ Greenway (Napalm Death)
Voivod
VOIVOD released their latest album, TARGET EARTH in 2013 and took a brief hiatus. They are back with a new bass player and healthy vocal chords! The guys are ready to bring their original style back to the stage. They had this to say:
“I am psyched to tour North America with Napalm Death, for which i always had a huge respect. We crossed path over the years and finally we’ll get to unite Voivod’s spacy Thrash Metal with Napalm’s Grindcore. A perfect combination!!” Michel ‘Away’ Langevin (Voivod)

The fourteenth album by the immensely influential Canadian prog metal band Voivod! Released back in 2005, after the tragic death of the guitarist, and one of the band’s founding members, Piggy, the album was for the most part composed around Piggy’s guitar parts, which he managed to record before his passing. The album, finished by the remaining trio of Snake, Away, and Jason “Jasonic” Newstead (ex-Metallica) and produced by Glen Robinson, constitutes, arguably, Voivod’s best sounding release up to that point and features 10 compositions recorded in the unique style the band’s fans have come to cherish.
The fifteenth album by the immensely influential Canadian prog metal band Voivod! Released in 2008, “Infini” is based on demo recordings of the guitarist Piggy, one of the band’s founding members, who died of cancer before the recordings of Voivod’s previous album “Katorz” (2005) were concluded. The songs feature Piggy’s original guitar tracks in their unaltered form, and were finished by the remaining trio of Snake, Away, and Jason Newstead (ex-Metallica). A must-have for all the fans of Voivod’s unique style.
A re-issue of an album by the widely acclaimed, dark and unpredictable act from Switzerland. Assaulting the broadly defined metal scene for more than a quarter of a century now, Samael has on more than one occasion proved its wild and innovative nature, winning over the hearts of fans and the esteem of critics alike. Released in 2007, the “Solar Soul” album showed for once more the amazing artistic prowess of Vorph, Xy, Mas, and Makro. A definite must for all Samael fans.
A re-issue of the fourth studio album by the death metal veterans from the Netherlands! Originally released in 1998, this masterpiece of death metal mayhem still holds up as a prime representative of the genre at its absolute best. Brutally concise and uncompromising, full of the devastating drumming of Aad Kloosterwaard (later, the band’s singer), the crushing guitar riffs of Bart van Wallenberg, and crowned with Eric de Windt’s massive and furious growl, Sinister’s ˶Aggressive Measures” must be seen as nothing less than an absolutely timeless death metal classic.
A re-issue of the seventh studio album by the death metal veterans from the Netherlands! An outstanding album marking the reunion of the band, which split up in 2004, their latest album at that point being ˶Savage or Grace” from 2003. Released in 2006, ˶Afterburner” showed the band reborn with an altered line-up, with their drummer Aad Kloosterwaard switching over to vocals, Alex Paul switching from bass to guitar, and introducing a brand new member: Paul Beltman (drums). Recorded at Stage One Studios in Germany with the producer Andy Classen, more diversified musically than ˶Savage or Grace”, though just as dark and brutal, and boasting excellent production, the album showed the band once again firmly stand their ground.
