VOIVOD
INFINI (2009)
320 KBPS
Infini will be the last Voivod studio album. The band used the final songs and riffs written by late guitarist Denis "Piggy" D'Amour before his death in 2005. Just as they did with 2006's Katorz, Voivod had to meld Piggy's material into finished songs, not an easy task.
Voivod's strength is being able to put a unique twist on several different genres. Their progressive interpretations of thrash, metal and rock have created some groundbreaking music over the past couple decades. There are some really strong tracks on Infini, such as the album opener "God Phones."
Other standouts include the catchy "Treasure Chest" and "Earthache," which has a doomy, retro feel with thick, sludgy guitars and a moderate pace.
There are some filler songs as well that may not have made the cut on a traditional Voivod album, but the band wanted to share Piggy's final compositions with the world. Infini successfully closes out Voivod's long and influential run, leaving a lasting legacy on metal.
