Dark science fiction oriented thrash, Voivod nail it on their third release.......2006-06-14

Killing Technology was Montreal based Voivod's third album and the one where their sound became fully realized. The first two albums were good, but marred by muddy sound and the songwriting wasn't quite there yet. On KT they nailed it. When this came out in 1987 the only other band that was as heavy was Kreator. But Voivod were different in their use of really ugly dissonant chords and almost progressive structures all within an extremely brutal thrash context.

Lyrically Killing Technology is very dark and science fiction themed, something Voivod would explore quite a bit on later albums. The songs are about man's destruction or enslavement by his own technology or a world out of balance. For example, Forgotten in Space is about a jail ship full of prisoners both criminal and political blasted out into space to an unknown fate. Ravenous Medicine is about being used in Mengele type medical experiments as a human guinea pig and Tornado is about weather with a vendetta. When combined with the dark thrashing music of Piggy (guitar), Blacky (bass) and Away (drums), Snakes lyrics become the soundtrack to a technological apocalypse, the true soundtrack to the Terminator.

Voivod continued their science fiction oriented thrash sound on their brilliant follow up album Dimension Hatross but on subsequent albums they gradually cleaned up their sound. On Killing Technology they play at their gritty, grinding and noisy best. Killing Technology is a claustrophobic and paranoid masterpiece. It's a great album from one of the most original bands in metal and truly deserves to be called a classic.

I NOW DESTROY THE ENEMEY.........2005-10-26

CLASSIC THRASH!!! BUT THIS IS DONE WITH MUCH MORE UNIQUE FLAVOR THAN ANYTHING YOU WILL EVER HEAR AGAIN!!!

Top notch BASS!!! BLACKEY WAS THE MAN!!!!

VOIVOD were not kind to the brain!! VERY EPIC SONG's!!!

WITHOUT THIS..YOU SHALL REMAIN THE POSER YOU ARE!!!!! OR IF YOU JUST NEVER GOT IT..GET IT!!!!!!!!!

MANDATORY FOR THE THRASH FAN!!! OR IF YOU WANT SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT..LOOK NO FURTHER!!

R.I.P. Piggy.......2005-10-16

Simply put, Dennis D'Amour is the fallen guitar player who SHOULD be getting all of the magazine coverage and tributes, unlike a certain other dead guitar player whos name also begins with a "D".

Its a shame Dime is going to steal all of the fame and attention away from Dennis. No one said a thing about the tragedy of when Dennis passed away, but the talentless moron Dimebag Darrle got a media bl*w job when his useless body stoped functioning.

I'm surprised that a poser like J.P. even knows about Voivod or Piggy.

Buy Voivod albums instead of Pantera albums, support musicians with talent.

Pi$$ on Dimes grave.

All hail VoiVod and Piggy you Pantera b!tches.

This is not a music CD..........2005-10-15

...it is an absolute, unadulterated WORK OF ART. Here, the band proves they are/were the best thrash metal band of all time. I would say this is Voivod's best album, and it's a great place for new fans. Snake, Blacky, Away, and of course Piggy (R.I.P.) are in top form here. Best song is the title track.

where greatness began to be revealed..........2005-05-10

With 'War and Pain' and 'Rrrooorrr' (is that enough r's?) Voivod were a pretty typical thrash band that would be found on the heavy labels of the day like Combat, Megaforce, Metal Blade, Noise, etc. They wore the leather and spikes, played heavy and fast, and sang about death and ways to die and such. Not being native English speakers, Voivod's lyrics were often awkward in the early days also. But 'Killing Technology' is the turning point. The strides made from 'Rrrroooarrr' are amazing. Their progressive tendencies begin to show, especially on one of my all-time favorites, 'Forgotten in Space.' This is the first of Voivod's three brilliant albums in a row in my opinion along with 'Dimension Hatross' and 'Nothingface.'
