Recorded November 6th 2004 in Québec, Canada

From unlikely origins in northern Québec at the height of the Cold War, Voïvod’s post-apocalyptic sci-fi aesthetic, fuelled by a youthful obsession with their instruments, took them from underground success to sharing dates and tours with Iron Maiden, Rush, and Metallica. Despite adversity, and perhaps by cosmic intervention or just serendipity, Voïvod found guitarist Daniel “Chewy” Mongrain; subsequently, the band re-ignited their engines and laid a course back to Morgöth via numerous live shows around the world, a comeback album in Target Earth, singles, EPs, and finally, the late-career triumph, The Wake. In 2019, Voïvod were recognized by the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences with a Juno Award for best hard rock/metal album of the year for The Wake.

Recorded live at Wacken, August 1st 2025. Forbidden are among the pioneers of Bay Area thrash. Their style is fast, technical, and relentlessly precise. With classics like "Forbidden Evil" and "Twisted into Form," they shaped the sound of an entire genre from the late 80s onward. After a long hiatus, they returned in 2023 with a new singer and renewed energy. Setlist: "Infinite", "Out of Body (Out of Mind)", "March into Fire", "Twisted into Form", "Forbidden Evil", "Divided by Zero", "Step by Step", "Through Eyes of Glass", "Chalice of Blood"
