VOIVOD – rrroooaaarrr (CD)

2. Album der Frankokanadier von 1986, die hier ansatzweise begannen, vom Thrashmetal der Mit-80er auf einen komplexeren, jazz-prog-beeinflussten Sound umzusteigen, was aber auf den beiden nachfolgenden Alben deutlich eindeutiger gelang. Dennoch ein harsches, heftiges Statement in Sachen Metal und für viele puristischere Metalliebhaber wohl auch wegend es Albumtitels archaische Klassiker im Voivodbackprogramm. The 2CD+DVD Set vividly captures the period surrounding this album and details the band's early development within their native Canada plus their first live 'assaults' across the border into the US. Along with a previously unreleased complete show - the 'Spectrum '86 'No Speed Limit Week-End' concert from Montreal - the set also includes a complete demo of the 'RRROOOAAARRR' album, band rehearsal tracks and a 'never-before-heard' sound-collage from the tapes of Piggy, Voivod's late lamented guitarist. The set also contains tantalising early video footage of several live concerts from the band both in Canada & the US, the grainy films providing a unique insight into this developmental world of 'the' Voivod.
