Veteran Canadian sci-fi metal outfit Voivod have released a live video of their song “Thrashing Rage“. Footage for the video was captured amid the band’s performance at this year’s ‘Rock Hard Festival‘, which took place on May 27th in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
This year finds the band ringing in their 40th annviersary, having revisited numerous tracks from their catalog on the recently released “Morgöth Tales” album. Speaking of this video, drummer Michel “Away” Langevin offered:
“At the end of the last USA tour in May, Rock Hard Festival asked Voïvod to fill in last minute for Discharge, who could not make it. We last played there in 2015 and love the outdoor amphitheater as well as the metal family atmosphere on the site and backstage.
One of the highlights for me was watching Brian Downey’s Alive and Dangerous from the side of the stage. Here’s ‘Thrashing Rage‘, a cut from our May 27th, 2023 Rock Hard Festival show, filmed by the legendary Rockpalast during our ‘Morgöth Tales‘ tour, which is not over yet! See you on the road soon…”
