"Katorz" has been the working title for the new CD since at least the spring of 2005, according to previously published reports. [http://www.voivodfan.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=next_topic&f=1&t=003068&go=older] VOIVOD, who mixed the album with producer Glen Robinson (ANNIHILATOR, TEA PARTY, GWAR) at Multisons studio in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, mastered the CD in New York. The follow-up to 2003's "Voivod" is the first album in the band's 20-plus-year career that did not feature guitarist Denis 'Piggy" D'Amour working alongside his bandmembers in the studio. D'Amour died August 26, 2005 in a Montreal hospital from complications of advanced colon cancer. In order to record "Katorz", Langevin, singer Denis "Snake" Belanger and bassist Jason "Jasonic" Newsted utilized all of the guitar parts that Piggy had recorded for the record on his laptop with ProTools before his death. Artwork and a full track-listing for the album will be released in the coming weeks.
