MASTERS OF ROCK 2026 – 16. – 19. 7. 2026, VIZOVICE, Areál likérky R. Jelínek
After more than 40 eventful years of existence, Canadian progressive sci-fi metal innovators VOIVOD return with a special live album “Symphonique” in collaboration with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, which will be released on June 5th, 2026.
“Symphonique”, which functions as an epic cinematic piece showcasing the band’s groundbreaking futuristic metal alongside the sounds of a symphony orchestra, features a carefully curated list of the band’s best songs, recorded live on June 4th, 2025 at the Grand Théâtre in Quebec, Canada.
You can pre-order the album in various formats >>HERE<<
Check out the first single “Forgotten In Space (Symphonique)” with a visual clip and look forward to this year’s 22nd MASTERS OF ROCK festival, where this legend will perform on the main Ronnie James Dio Stage on the very first day of the festival, Thursday, July 16th, late afternoon!
Drummer and founding member Michel “Away” Langevin said: "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 Voïvod formed back in 1983. We wish to take this show across the globe with local orchestras one day, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this epic release. It's the closest we've ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours!"
Voïvod's bassist Dominic "Rocky" Laroche added about "Forgotten In Space (Symphonique)": "Taken from the album 'Killing Technology', 'Forgotten In Space' transports us to a Mad Max-esque science-fiction universe. Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour was even inspired by it when composing parts of the original version. This incredible symphonic masterpiece, orchestrated by Hugo Begin, offers a powerful orchestral introduction that takes us on a musical journey where the fusion of metal and classical music invites us to imagine, for 6 minutes and 27 seconds, that humanity itself may have been forgotten in space..."
VOIVOD live soon, at the MASTERS OF ROCK festival in Vizovice, don't miss them there!
