Infini

Armed with guitar parts he recorded prior to his 2005 passing, the surviving Voivod members subsequently set out to finish off these final tracks. And musically, 'Infini' really is a tribute of sorts to Voivod's fallen six-string gunslinger, as his playing propels many of the songs throughout the album.

Back in the '80s when most metal guitarists were busy shredding away and / or trying to "out thrash" the next guy, Piggy's jazz-oid playing was a breath of fresh air amongst all the standard noodling going on at the time. And it was an instantly recognizable, signature style he pursued until the very end, as evidenced here by such tracks as "Earthache" & "Global Warming". Another notable cut is the album opener, "God Phones", where Voivod focuses more on the metal rather than the prog (another style into which the group has been known to detour).

With 'Infini', Voivod redefine their status as one of the true originals / innovators in hard rock - check it out!!!
