New Video by Canadian Metal Proggers Voivod

Canadian progressive metal pioneers Voivod have completed the video for their Century Media debut album, Target Earth. The video, created by Italian filmmaker and multimedia artist, Nicola Piovesan, was created with 3D Motion Graphics using the visions and artwork of Voivod drummer, Michel Langevin.

Check out the video here:


Here is what Michel had to say upon completion of the video:

"I met Nicola Piovesan at the Voivod/Unkind show in Helsinki on October 31, 2012. We had a discussion about my 3D Graphics for the album Negatron and Nicola mentioned the possibility of him doing a 3D Motion video for our new album Target Earth. After viewing his fantastic video for The Core by the band On|Off|Man, we knew he was the right person to capture the cyber world of Voivod. To us, the result is simply spectacular!"

Haken Premiere New Track

 

Progressive metallers Haken recently revealed details of the release of their forthcoming third album 'The Mountain', which is due to hit the street on the 2nd September in Europe and 17th September 2013 in the USA. In conjunction with the UK's Prog Magazine, they can let you hear the fantastic first track to be released from said album entitled 'Atlas Stone'. The band had this to say about the track: 

'Atlas Stone' has a delicate mix of soft chiming passages, jazzy interludes and crunching riffs and encapsulates the spirit of the 'The Mountain' perfectly. The song is exhilarating and uplifting but is tinged with a sense of urgency and desperation which reflects one's journey to the peak of the mountain. We can't wait to play it on our upcoming tour in September!
