I bought the magazine this morning and it's in french of course. I just translated the hook line.

I'll read it during lunchtime.
can't scan because Metallian uses very small fonts with crazy colours (white on green/white textured background) which sometimes proves hardto decipher.

btw, I find it funny (and a bummer somehow) that Jason - who doesn't speak french - did that ITW for a french mag...
Let Away do the talking!!!

M: A lot of people are expecting a comeback to the Outer Limits style, with more psychedelism but it is obviously not the case?
JN: "It's much wilder than Voïvod's previous albums. More aggressive, with an *old school* feel, very different from present productions. It's lying somewhere between DH and NF, to compare with Voïvod standards. It's Metallica heaviness and power combined with Voïvod distortion and twisted Piggy chords... not to forget the true voice of Voïvod: Snake, who revives the old magic".

M: ...and what about record labels?
JN: "At the moment, we haven't signed anything for Europe but we've had many phone calls from people who'd like to share the cake... Warner Bros. Will distribute us in the US... As for Europe, we think we're going to work with Century Media. What is important is that people understand the true essence of metal. I don't care if we are not signed by a major, we are able to do things all by ourselves. If a major is interested in Voïvod then it will be OK, otherwise we don't give a shit. We will succeed with or without them!"

M: Will we be treated once again with weird sci-fi lyrics and is the Multiverse a concept album?
JN: "Some of the songs have common themes but this is not properly a concept album. The lyrics are genuine Snake poetry. He hasn't changed a bit... He's still writing about space and UFOs. (...)
I'm very eager to see how the public will react because some friends of mine told me that some people had serious doubts regarding my collaborating with Voïvod. They think that Voïvod will lose their particularity, their identity because of me. They should remember that I've joined a band where friends of mine have been playing together since 1979. It's not easy getting integrated in such a band. All I want is to make them even bigger and stronger than they ever were. My goal is to help Voïvod get the media attention that they rightfully deserved throughout all those years but never gained. My own money is running the machine and if I'm doing it, it's only because I really feel like it. They have been through so many shit (...) Voïvod know the true reality of the music business. No offense to them, but bands like SOAD who have been around for 4-5 years and who get aired on the radio... They don't know shit about the reality of the music business"

=============================================

well... I was somewhat pissed at first that Jason did the ITW (because journalists certainly won't help asking questions about Metallica) but I must say that this was pleasant to read (not considering the fact that Metallian uses very small fonts), and Jason certainly seems to be as much excited as any of us when he speaks about Voïvod and Voïvod's future...

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!

bullshit indeed... "I Dont wanna wake up" has Freedoom-like psychedelia all over it, and there's more than Jason says.
