“Symphonique” unfolds like a cinematic experience, blending Voivod’s visionary, futuristic metal with the rich textures of a full symphony orchestra. The release features a thoughtfully selected 12-song best-of setlist spanning 73 minutes, captured live on June 4, 2025, at the Grand Théâtre de Québec.

Giving fans a first glimpse of “Symphonique”, Voivod have unveiled the lead single, “Forgotten In Space (Symphonique)”, accompanied by an official visualizer crafted by Cloud Motion Design, which you can check out below.

drummer and founding member Michel “Away” Langevin comments on “Symphonique”: “This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality. Thankfully, we will experience it again in 2027 with the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, right in the region where VOIVOD formed back in 1983. We wish to take this show across the globe with local orchestras one day, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this epic release. It’s the closest we’ve ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours!”

About the first single “Forgotten in Space (Symphonique)”, VOIVOD bassist Dominic “Rocky” Laroche adds: “Taken from the album ‘Killing Technology’, ‘Forgotten In Space’ transports us to a ‘Mad Max’-esque science-fiction universe. [Late VOIVOD guitarist] Denis ‘Piggy’ D’Amour was even inspired by it when composing parts of the original version. This incredible symphonic masterpiece, orchestrated by Hugo Begin, offers a powerful orchestral introduction that takes us on a musical journey where the fusion of metal and classical music invites us to imagine, for six minutes and 27 seconds, that humanity itself may have been forgotten in space…”.
