#422: Voivod's Michel “Away” Langevin

This week our guest is Michel “Away” Langevin of the legendary
Voivod! We discuss how the band wanted their new album Synchro
Anarchy to be more thrash metal than their previous record The
Wake, how the band barely rehearsed and wrote the album as they
recorded, the band's recent live record Lost Machine, the upcoming
Voivod documentary that was funded on Kickstarter, and the 40th
anniversary Voivod book they're putting together for fans. Michel
also tells us about his Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor approach as a
heavy metal drummer, his favorite and least favorite Voivod
artwork, and the art book he is compiling from all his years of
drawing. Petar, Brandon, and Jozalyn discuss the break up of Every
Time I Die, their personal memories as fans of the band, and the
passing of Meat Loaf. Thank you to our sponsor, Metal Blade
Records, for their continued support! Songs: Voivod -
