Voivod to Release Synchro Anarchy on Feb. 11
Weirdo prog-thrash legends Voivod enter the fray of early 2022 releases with the impending Synchro Anarchy, out Feb. 11 through Century Media. New Voivod is always a cause for joy, and while there’s no audio up as yet from the album, I think it’s probably safe to say that, yes, it will sound like Voivod. It certainly looks the part, with a telltale cover by drummer Michel “Away” Langevin. Personally I’d like to hear a Voivod song called “Quest for Nothing.” Like, right now.
But alas. Making do with the PR wire info is something I’m fairly used to by now. Voivod earlier this year surpassed a Kickstarter goal for We Are Connected, a documentary about the band, and they were due to hit Europe this Fall with Exciter and Vio-Lence — a tour which would’ve wrapped today, actually — but I don’t think it happened. Hard to tell sometimes.
Still, the news is good, and here it is:
VOIVOD ANNOUNCE NEW STUDIO ALBUM SYNCHRO ANARCHY
Canadian progressive sci-fi metal innovators VOIVOD are delighted to announce their new studio album Synchro Anarchy, which is scheduled for worldwide release on February 11th via Century Media Records.
“We are eager to present our latest work, a real collaborative effort. The new album represents countless hours of writing, demoing, recording, mixing and so on. The band and Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio gave their very best to make it happen under unusual circumstances, which led us to call it “Synchro Anarchy”. We feel that the sound and music are 100% Voïvod, and we hope everyone will enjoy it as much as we had fun making it. We certainly can’t wait to play it live,” states VOIVOD drummer Michel “Away” Langevin about the forthcoming release.
Closing in on 40 eventful years of existence, VOIVOD are returning with their 15th studio album, reaffirming they are one of the most fervently creative bands in the universe. Synchro Anarchy follows 2018’s highly praised and Juno Award winning The Wake album, as well as 2020’s stellar Lost Machine – Live release. The new album was produced by Francis Perron at RadicArt Studio and features cover artwork created by VOIVOD’s Michel “Away” Langevin.

Those are some cool looking t-shirts the band got there.
Voivod have a pretty strict only black shirts with white band logos dress code, that’s for sure. ;)
