Voivod – The End Of Dormancy (CD)

Quebec's Voivod have spent four decades proving that heavy music can be genuinely strange, threading prog complexity and sci-fi dystopia through thrash metal in ways that still feel alien. "End Of Dormancy," originally released during the pandemic shutdown, captures the band in an intimate, stripped-back mode, offering acoustic and reimagined takes that reveal just how strong the songwriting holds up when you pull away the distortion.
