Canada's pioneering metal band VOIVOD will enter the studio this spring to record their final album using songs left behind by founding guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour who died in August 2005 from colon cancer
An official band statement reads: "There remain 13 songs that guitarist Denis D'Amour (Piggy) had written with the band before his death, yet to be recorded. Michel Langevin (Away) and Denis Belanger (Snake) will track the last songs this spring bringing all the past and present members together to participate in a homage to the guitar legend of Piggy and the legacy of 25 years of a brotherhood forged by exploring metal, rock and punk ethics with an other worldly premise.
"Jean-Yves Theriault (Blacky) and Eric Forrest (E Force) have eagerly agreed to contribute bass tracks along with current bass player Jason Newsted (Jasonic). The End Records and Nuclear Blast Europe will release this final record once completed.
"VOIVOD may play select shows after the release as a thank you to the fans and to bring closure to a great career."

This is simply awesome. It will be great to hear Blacky and Eric again. They each brought a unique sound to the band during their respective eras!
