Formed in Jonqui?re, Quebec, in 1982 by vocalist Denis 'Snake' Belanger, guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D?Amour, bassist Jean-Yves 'Blacky' Th?riault and drummer Michael 'Away' Langevin, Voivod recorded a series of demos before catching the eye of Brian Slagel and signing a deal with Metal Blade Records. The result was the band?s debut album ?War And Pain?, which was released in August 1984. At the time, all four members were sharing an apartment in Montreal, existing on 150 dollars welfare a week. With school already behind them, they were free to rehearse nearly every day, leading to the creation of their sophomore album ?Rrr???aaarrr?. While the album was recorded, almost all their equipment was stolen from the rehearsal room. In order to raise funds, the band along with their manager Maurice Richard organized the legendary 'World War III' festival. And this is were they met Karl-Ulrich Walterbach, who convinced Voivod to sign for his label Noise Records. ?Rrr???aaarrr? ended up seeing the light of day in March of 1986. With songs like 'Ripping Headaches', 'Thrashing Rage' or the ultimate 'To The Death!' to this day it remains one of Voivod?s most extreme albums. Easy listening it was not. 'Around 1985/86, we really sped up the pace of our music', says Michael Langevin in the book ?Damn The Machine. The Story Of Noise Records? by American author David E. Gehlke. 'I think that maybe everybody was trying to outdo Slayer. I?m not sure why ? I think we might have been a little faster
