Background information about 'Killing Technology'

"Killing Technology," the third studio album by Canadian progressive thrash metal band Voivod, marks a pivotal point in their musical evolution. Released in 1987, it showcases the band's departure from their raw, punk-infused roots towards a more sophisticated sound that fuses elements of thrash metal with progressive rock. The album’s intricate compositions and complex structures demonstrate Voivod's ambition to push beyond the conventional boundaries of thrash. Tracks like "Tornado" and "Ravenous Medicine" offer a blend of aggressive riffs and cerebral themes, setting a new standard for technical proficiency within the genre.

Recorded in West Berlin under the guidance of producer Harris Johns, "Killing Technology" reflects Voivod's growing confidence and maturity as musicians. The record is noted for its innovative use of dissonance and time changes, which would become hallmarks of Voivod's style. This album not only solidifies their place as pioneers within the metal community but also cements their reputation as forward-thinking artists unafraid to experiment with sound. It's an essential listen for fans of thrash seeking depth and complexity in their music.
