Canadian progressive metallers VOIVOD have nearly completed a video for the title track of their Century Media debut album, Target Earth. A teaser for “Target Earth” can be seen below and still shots of the video may be viewed here. The clip was created by Italian filmmaker and artist Nicola Piovesan who is in the process of recreating in 3D motion graphics, artwork and visions of VOIVOD drummer Michel “Away” Langevin.
VOIVOD’s latest album sold roughly 1,500 copies in the US during its first week of release earlier this year. VOIVOD’s predecessor album, “Infini”, opened with around 840 units back in July 2009. “Target Earth” was recorded in early 2012 at Pierre Rémillard’s (CRYPTOPSY, KRISIUN, MISERY INDEX) Wild Studio in St-Zénon, Quebec, Canada and was mixed by CORRECTIONS HOUSE member, Sanford Parker (PELICAN, NACHTMYSTIUM). The follow-up to 2009’s “Infini” contains the band’s first music to be written with guitarist Dan Mongrain (MARTYR) following the passing of original axeman Denis “Piggy” D’Amour in 2005. The original art was once again drawn up by drummer Langevin and features color schemes from each of the band’s previous albums.
