VOIVOD’s The Wake is the highly anticipated successor to 2013’s Target Earth album and 2016 mini-album Post Society. The album was recorded and mixed by Francis Perron at RadicArt Recording Studio in Canada and its artwork (as well as the art for the attached singles, seen above) was once again created by VOIVOD drummer Michel “Away” Langevin.
