Today, Voivod have shared the video for their brand new single and the album’s opening track, “Obsolete Beings“, the video was directed and edited by Eric Massicotte and Pierre Duplessis. This new track taken from the band’s new album The Wake, out on September 21 via Century Media.
Voivod’s The Wake is the highly anticipated successor to 2013’s Target Earth album as well as the 2016 mini-album Post Society. The album was recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Recording Studio in Canada and its artwork (as well as the art for the attached singles) was once again created by Voivod drummer Michel “Away” Langevin.
