The time for cuddling is over and I'm stepping up four gears and treating you to some loud & brutal noises on this fucking Monday!! And it's not just Speed/Thrash Metal maniacs who get their money's worth. Killing Technology is the third album by Canada's four piece Voïvod, released again via Karl Walterbach's label Noise Records and it is clearly more "melody" in the seven songs. Info: After the release of the previous album Rrröööaaarrr, the tour to the album followed, which should end in Berlin to record the next studio album. Because of this, guitarist Piggy wrote the album's songs before the start of this tour. Harris Johns' work with Einstürzende Neubauten had sparked an interest in industrial music among Voïvod's musicians. During recording and mixing, bassist Blacky brought his ideas to Piggy's composed tracks. For the first time, the texts formed an overall concept for the further development of the band's character, which is about a journey through the Voïvod with a spaceship. The Voïvod stands for the inability of mankind to control the increasing mechanization of the world. Killing Technology represents an advancement of the bands skills on their instruments as well as in stylistic direction. I say this record is one of the band's best albums and when I ripped the slab, I started Pogo around my apartment like I'm at a concert, ecstatic and carefree, and this music push me away from all the daily shit that's always present.
Believe me, if you want to clear your head or have emotional differences, put this music on and you're alive for a brief moment and you know what really matters!
thrash, not trash ;)

DeleteVoïvod waren ihrer Zeit weit voraus. Habe mir damals War And Pain gleich nach Erscheinen gekauft und dachte ich höre nicht richtig) Eine innovative und geniale Band!
Deleteabsolut 😎
DeleteThanx for this masterpiece! Lyrics are totally great!
ReplyDeletei think Voi Vod's touring with Die Kreuzen in 1986 had more to do with Killing Technology than anything.
