VOIVOD frontman Denis "Snake" Belanger has issued the following update:"Here's my news: Doing well, relaxing, still doing a lot of interviews. A few weeks ago I went to our hometown Jonquiere to see my parents. While I was there I did a full day of promotion covering the whole Morgoth area Saguenay, Lac St-Jean. Then my girlfriend and I and a bunch of friends went camping for a couple of days. It was great! Shooting fireworks in the sky by the lake, cooking hotdogs on the open fire, and maybe a few beers. Great outdoor hang-overlso. "This is a good story. At Piggy's funeral last year, I brought my guitar for people to sign it, then we went to the river and tried to burn it (didn't work) to finally throw the guitar off the bridge as a symbolic memoriam to Piggy... Remember? Well, apparently three months ago, a teacher who lives in Chicoutimi (a few miles down the river) found the guitar. Looking at it, he didn't know what this was all about. All the signatures, the burn marks, and after a full winter, I guess the guitar was in pretty bad shape. So he kept it, and brought it to school wondering if students could possibly explain the wrecked guitar. One metal dude raised his hand and said I know what it is. It's a tribute to Piggy, VOIVOD's guitar player who died last year. The class went 'Ahhh!' I hope the guy still has it. It's certainly a keeper." VOIVOD's new album "Katorz", was issued on July 25 through The End Records. The band plans to release a deluxe vinyl version of "Katorz" in November. The LP will come in color vinyl and will include special artwork and packaging designed by Away. The release will be limited to 1,000 copies and sold exclusively through The End Records' mailorder. There will be a pre-order for the LP. -------------------- trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr

Piggy really don't want to go away, as a vampire never die. The symbolic is so huge.If they play on a stage again, I wish to see this guitar on the stage with them. I remember that day as yesterday, I was there, my name is on this guitar. If my souvenirs are exact there is foam under the rigid case, because they wanted to let it sailed with flammes but there was too much wind and it drive it to the coast each time. With the realese of Katorz and the next one, he's still active in our mind and our heart. Sorry again for my approximative english. What a story! -------------------- Party de l'interzone!
