Canadian progressive metal innovators Voivod have released a special live album, Symphonique, in conjunction with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra.
The album is now available via Century Media Records and showcases the band's pioneering futuristic metal soundscapes blended with the strains of a symphony orchestra.
The live recording features a carefully curated setlist of 12 songs across 73 minutes, recorded on June 4, 2025, at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City, Canada.
A visualizer for the song "The Unknown Knows (Symphonique)" has been released online, featuring background animation by SĂ©bastien Fournier / Cirkus Animation for the track.
Drummer and founding member Michel “Away” Langevin comments on Symphonique: “This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality.
Thankfully, we will experience it again in 2027 with the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, right in the region where Voivod formed back in 1983.
Voivod is set to embark on comprehensive European touring runs to support the live release.
A detailed tour itinerary and ticket links can be found on the band's official website.
Voivod will also be working on their next studio album release in the coming months."
