Voivod toured with At the Gates and Converge earlier this year, and now they’ve announced they’re coming back for a headlining tour in early 2016. The east coast stretch is listed below, with a West Coast tour slated for the middle of next year.

When asked about a follow up to 2013’s Target Earth, guitarist Away laid out plans for 2016:

“We wanna release a bunch of seven-inch [singles] first. We have many split seven-inch [singles] coming up this year — the first one with AT THE GATES in April, and the new want to do another one with NAPALM [DEATH], and another one with CORRECTIONS HOUSE, and so on. But eventually we’ll write a whole bunch of songs and compile everything into an album, I would say, early next year.”

That interview was from earlier this year, so things could have changed by now, but a new Voivod album to go with their US tour could be a real possibility. Fingers crossed!
