2LP picture disc on gatefold and 12 - page booklet.

'The Wake' is the fourteenth studio album by Canadian technical/prog thrash band Voivod, originally released in 2018 by Century Media Records. The first record to feature bassist Dominic “Rocky” Laroche, who replaced the departed original bassist Jean-Yves “Blacky” Thériault after the previous album ‘Target Earth’s release. It has been almost universally hailed as the best post-Piggy Voivod album, and even as a sort of “return to form” to their legendary output of the ‘80s.

Building on the momentum of their revitalized lineup, ‘The Wake’ sees Voivod weaving together their signature elements - jagged thrash riffing, angular time shifts, and cosmic storytelling - into a dense, cinematic experience. The album expands their trademark sci-fi mythology while exploring themes of consciousness, apocalypse, and rebirth, delivered through intricate musicianship and Michel “Away” Langevin’s surreal visual and lyrical concepts. Far from a mere nostalgia exercise, ‘The Wake’ demonstrates Voivod’s ongoing evolution, bridging their classic sound with a renewed creative spark that feels both familiar and forward-thinking.
