After more than 40 eventful years of existence, Canada’s progressive sci-fi metal innovators Voïvod return with “Symphonique”, a special live release together with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra. “Symphonique” features a carefully curated Voïvod best-of setlist composed of 12 songs / 73 minutes with classical musical arrangements by a full symphony orchestra, recorded live on June 4th, 2025 at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City, Canada. “Symphonique” functions like epic piece of cinema, showcasing Voïvod’s pioneering futuristic metal with the strains of a symphony orchestra. A highly effective natural symbiosis, which successfully takes the listener on yet another fantastic journey, never fearing unexplored territories.
