This poll could as well be in the Prog Polls, but it's so crowded there for the time being. Anyway, Voivod albums from the '80s are surely some of the serious business Metal, and you can choose between the three generally most appreciated ones. Hopefully, your fave is amongst them. Please, leave a post with your choice and maybe a comment, and enjoy it!

The Canadian Voivod was formed in 1982, and the band's very eclectic Metal style has been much influential, of course especially on Metal bands but other too - amongst them, Anekdoten. The most persistent members have been:

Dimension Hatross for me, although all three records are absolutely phenomenal. I think the reason Dimension hits me just a bit harder is that it perfectly bridged the thrash intensity of their first few records with the prog stylings of Nothingface and Outer Limits. And considering I'm a huge fan of both eras, it's like having my cake and eating it too  ------------- Take me down, to the underground Won't you take me down, to the underground Why oh why, there is no light And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life https://www.youtube.com/@CocoonMasterBrendan-wh3sd |

and generating a perpetual mechanical din. The drummer, Michel Langevin, could have nightmares because of the sounds from these factories, and the band's lyrics are much about something industrial, mechanical and cold, as well as the band's sound is much industrial, cold and heavy. Here a sample of the lyrics from the album Nothingface: "The Unknown Knows" (excerpt) Talk to me you flying shadows Wandering into the ozone stew Keep your myths from the embryos Who would misconstrue Anything new An outright official fiasco Can you shiled me From the drastic truth Btw, a very good book about the more experimenting Metal is Jeff Wagner's Mean Deviation: Four Decades of Progressive Heavy Metal (2010). ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I have to admit that http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7080" rel="nofollow - Nothingface with its dissonant and complex sonic attack is yet quite a bit of a challenge for me to listen to, as well as the artwork is a challenge for my sensitive and in some ways conservative mind, even I also find it to be very creative and one of the very best from the 80's. Plus that even I've got this album on vinyl, the digital recording and mixing of it make the sound extra hard and "hitting". But I can imagine that after some years and many listenings, I'll become very fond of this album - unless I'll become a bit too old for that kind.  - Some special circumstances are though that I've just got cleaned my ears for wax, and thus my hearing is extra sensitive now.

To me the strange and constantly fierce sounds of Dimension Hatröss are a rather unpenetrable land - at least for the time being, and I'd also say that Dimension Hatröss seems even more original today than Nothingface. Anyway, I certainly find Voivod to be an interesting acquiantance, recommended for the heavy adventurers.  ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I can also tell that after very recently adding Nothingface to my collection, I think that I've got enough of dissonant and hard-edged music at least for a good while. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I still think there might be some more people here who can be fond of these Voivod 80's albums, and it's good Christmas music. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

I've always been underwhelmed by Nothingface. Dimension Hatross for me all the way -------------  https://rateyourmusic.com/~siLLy_puPPy |
