Symphonique
Voïvod
Symphonique is Voïvod's first live orchestral album, released on June 5, 2026 via Century Media Records. It captures a performance recorded exactly one year earlier — June 4, 2025 — at the Grand Théâtre de Québec, where the veteran Canadian progressive sci-fi metal band joined forces with the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec, conducted by Dina Gilbert, with orchestral arrangements by composer and arranger Hugo Bégin. The result is 73 minutes of material spread across 12 tracks, described by drummer Michel "Away" Langevin as "the closest we've ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack." The album is also accompanied by Langevin's signature visual artwork, and is available on CD, double gatefold LP (in a yellow/orange/black vinyl variant), and digital formats.
The setlist is a carefully curated career-spanning best-of, drawing from albums including Dimension Hatröss, Nothingface, Killing Technology, The Wake, and Synchro Anarchy, with a particularly heavy emphasis on the band's beloved late-1980s catalogue. Standout tracks include "Experiment," "Cosmic Drama," and "Tribal Convictions" from Dimension Hatröss; "The Unknown Knows" and "Pre-Ignition" from Nothingface; and "Forgotten in Space" from Killing Technology. The set closes with a striking cover of Pink Floyd's "Astronomy Domine," a fitting choice given the psychedelic and cosmic qualities both bands share. As Echoes and Dust describes it, the album functions less like a conventional live record and more like "a full-blown mental IMAX experience," with the orchestra amplifying the inherently cinematic quality of Voïvod's music rather than overwhelming or diluting it.
