In a brand new interview published in the July 13, 2007 edition of the Journal de Québec newspaper, Voivod drummer Michel "Away" Langevin indicated that Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser would likely play guitar for the group when they head out on the road in support of their next album.
Voivod's upcoming CD is expected include the last batch of recordings the group's late guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour made before he died. Originally, VOIVOD planned to track the 13-song swan song this summer, but bassist Jason Newsted's (ex-Metallica) shoulder injury — which he sustained in October 2006 trying to catch a falling bass amplifier head — is delaying it until around September.
"We have to wait until Jason is healed 100 percent from the surgery he had on his shoulder," Langevin told MTV.com. "I know that he's jamming right now, but he can't really play professionally until it's all healed. But when he's better, we want to get together in one studio — instead of three different studios in three different periods of time, like we did for [2006's] 'Katorz'. Last time everything happened in difficult conditions. This time we want to make things easier for ourselves and take more time to make a really special record."
Michel "Away" Langevin recently finished remastering the band's 1986 album, "Rrröööaaarrr!", and editing a bonus DVD that will accompany the re-release of the LP in the fall. The package will be filled with live and demo recordings that were sold in the '80s via the band's Iron Gang fan club; fan-recorded footage, including the group's first U.S. show, an opening gig for Venom; rare archival photos; and cassette recordings dating back to 1980. "I found an early tape of Piggy doing an avant-garde collage of sounds that's very good, so that will be a bonus on 'Rrröööaaarrr!' as well," he told MTV.com.
