Canadian metal pioneers VOIVOD took the stage alongside the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec in a groundbreaking collaboration that blends progressive metal with classical grandeur. Watch the powerful performance now.
Canadian sci-fi metal innovators VOIVOD performed with the Orchestre Symphonique De Québec, conducted by Dina Gilbert, on June 4 at Grand Théâtre de Québec in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. The show was recorded for a possible album.
Fan-filmed video of last night's concert can be seen below.
According to Setlist.fm, the setlist for the show was as follows:
01. Experiment
02. Holographic Thinking
03. The Unknown Knows
04. The End Of Dormancy
05. Into My Hypercube
06. Forgotten In Space
07. Cosmic Drama
08. Pre-Ignition
09. Nuclear War
10. Fall
11. Tribal Convictions
12. Astronomy Domine (PINK FLOYD cover)
Late last month, VOIVOD drummer Michel "Away" Langevin told Le Soleil about the Quebec City performance: "The problem with making a record is that you have to pay a lot of royalties, because there are a lot of musicians and it costs a fortune. However, we're working on recording the Quebec City show and eventually releasing it on vinyl or CD. We really want to do that."
According to Langevin, there are no plans to release a professionally filmed video of the concert. "A DVD costs much, much more, so we forgot about that idea and focused on the audio," he said. "We haven't yet decided to turn this performance into a live album, but we're working very hard on this major project."
VOIVOD previously played two shows with the Orchestre Symphonique De Montréal on January 29 and January 30 at Salle Wilfrid-Pelletie in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
