Voivod's "Condemned To The Gallows (2023 Version)" now streaming ahead of anniversary album release

Canadian sci-fi metal pioneers Voivod have just announced their upcoming 40th anniversary studio album, Morgöth Tales, set to be released on July 21st, 2023 via Century Media Records. To tease fans, the band has made another one of the tracks available for streaming. "Condemned To The Gallows (2023 Version)" is a special choice for the band, as it was their first ever song recorded in a studio and originally appeared on the Metal Massacre V Compilation back in 1984. This new version of the track will be part of their anniversary album.

Voivod vocalist Denis "Snake" Bélanger shared his thoughts on revisiting this special song:

"Condemned To The Gallows (2023 Version)": "The Morgöth Tales album starts where it all began. 'Condemned To The Gallows' was the first song ever recorded in a studio. I recall being shocked, hearing my voice for the first time, and I was a bit intimidated. I had joined the band only a few months prior to that and I didn't know how to sing or even if was capable of doing the job.
So I jumped in, and this 40 year adventure was about to begin. Revisiting this song was a real trip. Going back in time when we were young and wild, recapturing that same fury inside that led us up to now made me realize that the spirit never gets old. Thanks to Mom, who kept well preserved, the only lyrics sheet existing on the surface of this planet, with my smudged left handed writing. Otherwise we would have been screwed."

Previously, a first single/video was launched for the song "Nuage Fractal (2023 Version)", which can also be checked out in a lyric video created by Cloud Music Typography here.
