Voivod Announce New Live Album “Symphonique” Featuring The Quebec Symphony Orchestra
Voivod have revealed that they will be releasing a new live album, titled “Symphonique,” on June 5. The effort was recorded during the band’s June 4, 2025 show with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City, QC. You can find a stream of “Forgotten In Space” from that set below:
Drummer Michel “Away” Langevin commented:
“This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality. Thankfully, we will experience it again in 2027 with the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, right in the region where Voïvod formed back in 1983. We wish to take this show across the globe with local orchestras one day, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this epic release. It’s the closest we’ve ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours!”
He also added the following about the single:
“Taken from the album ‘Killing Technology,’ ‘Forgotten in Space‘ transports us to a Mad Max-esque science-fiction universe. Denis “Piggy” D’Amour was even inspired by it when composing parts of the original version. This incredible symphonic masterpiece, orchestrated by Hugo Begin, offers a powerful orchestral introduction that takes us on a musical journey where the fusion of metal and classical music invites us to imagine, for 6 minutes and 27 seconds, that humanity itself may have been forgotten in space…”

The Pretty Reckless Premiere New Song “Love Me”
The Pretty Reckless have premiered a new song titled “Love Me.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Dear God,” which will be released on June 26. Frontwoman Taylor Momsen commented:
“‘Love Me’ came from a place I didn’t want to admit I was in. There’s this moment in your life where you’re so hollowed out that you start bargaining with God, not even for happiness, just for proof that someone sees you. That’s what this song is. It’s not pretty. It’s not wrapped up. It’s just a raw, ugly need and I think that’s exactly why people connect with it.”
