Voivod Killing Technology CD

 Great CD
this would be 5 stars if the insert was more interesting and cd was remastered.

 voivod's top early album
I've listened to this album hundreds of times! I got it on tape back in the 80s, I was blown away! I bought it on LP! And then when it came out on cd, I got it as well, to keep my vinyl from being destroyed from the constant runs!!! In my opinion, this is Voivod's best album together with Nothing Face! Killing Technology could be the perfect soundtrack for some wild sci-fi b-movie! It's a cyber/tech/punk nightmare put on notes! Piggy's dissonant guitar chords, Away's thunderous drums and Blacky's blower bass give the perfect environment for Snake's allucinating lyrics! No other band was so ahead of its time, especially in a narrow environment like the metal scene of the 80s! Many people say that Dimension Hatross is where they found THEIR sound, but at that point for me they already lost something: the rage element! Snake's screaming is something that I always missed from Dimension Hatross on...Killing Technology is the last album where he shouts out of his lungs...and boys was he good at that!!! Also the noise element (or dirty heavy sound, if you prefer) is something that I loved about Voivod's first albums...album by album they became cleaner and cleaner, lighter and lighter. But I guess it was necessary in order to acquire that great psychedelic taste that finds its peak in Nothing Face (the other masterpiece). The great thing about Voivod is that no album is like the previous one, which is rare in music business, and this is a reason why I'll always love every single note of this amazing band. Piggy rules, wherever he's now!!!

 An experiment in metal
This is one of the classic 3 Voivod albums (KT,DH,and NF), and it shows the band fully exploring the sound they would perfect on Dimension Hatross. Snake still shouts in some places, there's a generic riff here or there, and the songwriting isn't quite all together yet; however, most of the time, like on the title track, Ravenous Medicine, Forgotten In Space, and This Is Not An Exercise Voivod really display the skill and inventiveness that made them famous. I'd recommend buying DH or NF before this one, but if you like thrash, give this one a try.
