Subterráneo Webzine: You all take part in the composition, I get?Ĭhewy: Oh, yeah, totally. We developed a good work method together.
And throughout the process of composing the EP we found our roles in the composition with the new line-up. But then the idea of an EP seemed to be the best thing to do at the time, with the cover of “ Silver machine”. The EP was kind of… well, not really an exercise, because I really like the songs and we put everything we had into it and we wanted to start the album with those songs. We had to redefine de chemistry among all of us, you know? Only one change, only one person changes the chemistry. It ended up being an EP because we realized we hadn’t put out any new music for a while, and we had a line-up change, so it didn’t help. Do you feel like they helped to develop the direction of The wake ?Ĭhewy: Well, the EP at first was supposed to be an album when we started. This years you’ve been active making EPs and splits, which are sometimes considered “minor” works.
Subterráneo Webzine: First of all, you’ve just released The wake and it’s been five years since Target Earth came out. One of the main reasons for VOIVOD’s current state of creative grace, Chewy speaks about music with detail, intelligence and above all with true and genuine passion. And how often can we say that any band’s fourteenth album is one of the best of their career? Canadian visionaries VOIVOD have just released The wake, and last week they passed through Spain as part of their European tour, so I couldn’t miss the chance to talk to Daniel Chewy Mongrain when they visited Madrid on the 25 th of september.
It’s not everyday that you have the opportunity to talk about one of your favourite bands with one of its members.
