Canadian sci-fi metal giants Voivod are celebrating their 40th anniversary with the release of Morgöth Tales, a special studio album via Century Media Records. The group has shared a video for the title track to celebrate the album’s arrival. 

 

Guitarist Daniel “Chewy” Mongrain comments:

“‘Morgöth Tales’ was written especially for this project with fresh new ideas. While it certainly captures some of the essence of the Voïvodian universe and incorporates lyrical quotes and ‘titles’ from Voïvod’s discography, it is in phase with the current line-up approach that celebrates the past by moving forward, exploring new creative paths. The signal emanating from Morgöth keeps transmitting Data of new tales to discover. Tune-in and be part of the odyssey!”
