VOIVOD Announces “40 Years Of Morgöth Tales” (pt. 1) USA Tour With Imperial Triumphant

Fresh off their Canadian JUNO Awards nomination for Metal/Hard Music Album Of The Year for 2022’s Synchro Anarchy (The band won this award for 2019’s The Wake), progressive sci-fi metal innovators Voivod have also announced their return to the United States, with a slew of shows this spring. The tour will feature label mates Imperial Triumphant as support act. These shows will be part 1 of Voivod‘s “40 Years of Morgöth Tales” tour. The band is also wrapping up a special studio project release entitled Morgöth Tales to coincide with the anniversary, which will be revealed in detail soon.

Michel “Away” Langevin comments:
“We are excited to hit the road in the USA in May, with the avant-garde metal band Imperial Triumphant. Snake was a guest vocalist on their track ‘Maximalist Scream’, and this tour should take us on a great experimental musical journey. Come join us!!”

Imperial Triumphant‘s Zachary Ezrin (vocals, guitar) adds:
“Voivod is a group that has helped shape the landscape of our dissonant world, and we are most excited and honored to play these shows with them.”
