Target: Budapest
A VOIVOD az egyik legnagyobb hatású, mondhatni kultikus thrash metál zenekar. A banda fennállásának 35. évfordulóját turnéval és új lemezzel ünnepli. Budapesten szeptember 15-én a Dürer Kertben.
A hidegháború másik oldalán 1982-ben alakult, a kor nukleáris- és csillagháborús félelmeit megjelenítő, azt továbbfejlesztő, saját mitológiát és vizuális világot építő francia-kanadai együttes nem hétköznapi metál csapat. A műfaj keretei hamar szűknek bizonyultak, gyakran ki is lépték belőle.
Első lemeze szinte ipari thrash, azaz jófajta csörömpölés, amiben hardcore és punk hatások is megjelentek, majd pszichedelikus elemek, Pink Floyd és King Crimson feldolgozások jöttek. 1991-es Angel Rat című lemezük egyenesen progresszív rock – producere a Rush-sal sokat dolgozó Terry Brown volt. Az albummal sikerült két szék közé ülniük. A metálosok megdöbbentek, a progresszív rockerek meg nem vettek róla tudomást, egyedül a kritikusok lelkendeztek. Ők viszont nem szoktak lemezeket vásárolni. Az együttes a progresszív elemeket megtartva, jazzesekkel vegyítve szépen visszametálosodott, közben kilépések miatt trióvá alakult, s az énekes/basszeros autóbalesete után az ezredfordulóra tetszhalottá vált.
A zenekarba az eredeti énekes (Snake) visszatérése, és a Metallicát otthagyó, Voivod rajongó basszusgitáros, Jason Newsted belépése lehelt új életet 2002-ben. Ő már az addigi utolsó, 1997-es lemezen (Phobos) is feltűnt: egy dalszövegét zenésítették meg közösen. Ismertsége óriási segítség volt. Az új lemez (Vovod) saját kis kiadójánál jelent meg, és sosem játszottak még annyi embere előtt, mint ebben az időben. Aztán 2005-ben későn diagnosztizált rákban nagyon hirtelen meghalt Piggy, gitáros és legfőbb dalszerző. A zenekar következő két stúdióalbumát az ő hátrahagyott házi felvételei és instrukciói alapján készítették úgy, hogy a lemezeken Piggy gitározik (Katorz, Infini). A 2013-as Target: Earth már Newsted nélkül készült. Az albumon a visszatér eredeti basszusgitáros, a 91-ben kivált Blacky – aki közben kortárs táncdaraboknak írt elektroakusztikus zenét. (Viszont pár év múlva ismét kivált.)
A legújabb nagylemez a The Wake e hónap végén jön ki. „Futurisztikus progresszív thrash metal” – mondja róla Away. Olyan egyre kevésbé futurisztikus témákkal, mint tudatmódosítás, összeesküvés elméletek és gyakorlatok, káosz és katasztrófa – ahova a mesterséges intelligencia fogja vezetni az emberiséget.
A természetes intelligencia viszont VOIVOD koncertre vezeti a népet
Black Heaven on Blue Danube
Hash Wednesday with two American eclectic psychedelic rock bands
EARTHLESS and PALLBEARER
on 8 AUG in BUDAPEST at A38
EARTHLESS is heavy psychedelic rock trio. Creating energetic, utterly unique and free thinking mainly instrumental music inspired by an eclectic semi-improvised mix of German krautrock – like Guru Guru, Amon Düül II – and Japanese heavy blues-rock bands like Flower Travelling Band or Blues Creation. But there are other stuffs which are affecting their music e.g. and especially the first three ZZ Top albums, the Aussie post-punk band Scientists, lots of jazz like old Coltrane and Thelonious Monk or some mid-60s garage rock bands. But for me their music often cites when Black Sabbath played with Jimmy Hendrix at an acid jam session in my mind.
Their new album BLACK HEAVEN released this year on Nuclear Blast Records. You can listen to it in full entirety.
The other band will be the PALLBEARER that lysergic night. They are mixing progressive rock in its classical sense, alterative rock of the nineties and the timeless weight of doom.
So the best if you accept your fate and take a psychedelic mind trip at full tilt and celebrate Hash Wednesday with them that night on the spot.

5. SARAH SHOOK was born in Rochester, New York. She was homeschooled and grew up in a fundamentalist Christian family where music was restricted. In high school, she taught herself acoustic guitar. Inspired by artists such as the Sex Pistols, Elliott Smith and Hank Williams she started her first country band, Sarah Shook and the Devil in 2010. But now here is her second album with THE DISARMERS on Chicago BLOODSHOT RECORDS.
The album YEARS is about finding a way. A way through exhaustion, depression, betrayal, hangover after hangover, upper after downer after upper, fight after never-ending fight. It’s about picking yourself up and dusting yourself off after years of being trampled and beaten down, jutting your chin out, head high after they’ve done their worst, and shouting: Fuck you! I do want I want!
