Voivod is preparing for a 2026 U.S. tour with Bat and a European summer tour featuring Eric Forrest as a guest, following the release of their orchestral album 'Symphonique' and the premiere of the track 'The Unknown Knows (Symphonique)'. The band's drummer, Michel 'Away' Langevin, has shared insights into the project's cinematic sound and the challenges of touring, while also facing personal hardship with his brother's pancreatic cancer diagnosis.
