Voivod emerged from the early 80s thrash scene, but they soon headed off in their own, brain-frying direction. Released in 1988, the Canadian band’s fourth album, Dimension Hatröss, was a groundbreaking fusion of metal, prog and industrial music.

While the greatness of Metallica and Slayer is unquestioned, their  achievements rest on expanding on styles and sounds already in existence. But Switzerland’s Celtic Frost and Voivod from Canada pushed beyond the boundaries of the genre. They were true pioneers.
