Sci-Fi Progressive, Technical Thrash... any category has defined Voivod for more than 30 years now. One of the most innovative music acts of all time back in 2013 with "Target Earth" after the demise of writer and mastermind Denis "Piggy" D'Amour.
Between "Katorz" (the last studio effort of D'Amour as a guitarist) and "Target Earth", Voivod wrote another album "Infini" as a gift from D'Amour, who left a decent amount of riffs and draft ideas so the band could work on the songs on his absence. This was the moment where guitarrist Daniel Mongrain joined the band. A fair replacement to fill the gap of "Denis" masterwork. Mongrain impressed the whole metal scene with a high level of creativity, fully understanding the legacy of Voivod and adding his own style to reinvent the band's trademark right after the hardest moments in their career. The result was "Target Earth", the album starting a new era for Voivod that "The Wake" has strengthened.
This reissue in gatefold double picture disc is limited to 500 copies only.
