Voivod formed in Jonquiere, Quebec in 1982. Since their inception they’ve gone through various stylistic shifts across their 16 studio albums. They began as a speed metal group and would eventually mix in elements of both progressive and thrash metal to create and instantly recognizable sound among metal fans.
