Canadian sci-fi metallers, Voïvod, have announced an upcoming European Summer touring campaign, including nine dates in the UK and Ireland. With studio activity currently underway, they have also launched a new video for their classic track, “Condemned To The Gallows.” Check it out below and read more.
Voïvod’s drummer Michel ‘Away’ Langevin checked in with the following comment:
“We are gearing for a very exciting year in the Voïvod camp, as we are working on multiple projects at once. We have a brand new setlist for a few tours planned in 2026, where we will play with good friends like Midnight and BAT. We are mixing the Quebec City Symphonique Live album, while recording the next studio LP.”
“A video game by Chaosmonger Studio is in the works as well. In the meantime, here’s a video by Pierre Ménétrier for a re-recording of the very first song we ever wrote, ‘Condemned To The Gallows’. The video was supposed to come out in 2023, but Pierre’s computer crashed and most data was lost. Pierre, who also did the video ‘Planet Eaters’ for us, retrieved whatever he could and secretly salvaged the video over the last couple of years. The result is truly fantastic, so here it is, enjoy!”
“Condemned To The Gallows (2023 Version)” is taken from the band’s special 40th anniversary release, Morgöth Tales, from 2023. The video clip was directed by Pierre Ménétrier and created by the production company Esprit Pop (managed by Bruno Beaudouin).
Voïvod will be next embarking on a short North American run with Bat as well a newly announced comprehensive tour across Europe in the Summer. See the UK/EU dates below, and find a full list of the band’s upcoming dates here: https://www.voivod.com/en/shows
