  • VOIVOD Unveils Reworked Artwork for Upcoming “Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior Game”

    Canadian sci-fi metal pioneers Voivod have shared a new update on their upcoming video game project, Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior.

    “We’re excited to share a major visual update for Voivod: The Nuclear Warrior, the first official video game inspired by Voivod. The game’s key art has been completely reimagined in collaboration with Costin Chioreanu, bringing a richer level of detail, a stronger comic-book vibe, and an even more authentic Voivodian atmosphere. This new artwork better represents the tone and identity of the project as development continues. What do you think of this new look? If you haven’t yet, remember to wishlist the game on Steam, it really helps boost its visibility.”

    Alongside the game news, Voivod recently rolled out new North American dates, confirmed an extended summer run across Europe and the UK, and provided an update on studio activity. The band also launched a new video for the classic track “Condemned To The Gallows.”

    Drummer Michel “Away” Langevin offered a detailed look at what’s ahead: “We are gearing for a very exciting year in the Voivod camp, as we are working on multiple projects at once. We have a brand new setlist for a few tours planned in 2026, where we will play with good friends like Midnight and BAT. We are mixing the Quebec City Symphonique Live album, while recording the next studio LP. A video game by Chaosmonger Studio is in the works as well. In the meantime, here’s a video by Pierre Ménétrier for a re-recording of the very first song we ever wrote, ‘Condemned To The Gallows’. The video was supposed to come out in 2023, but Pierre’s computer crashed and most data was lost. Pierre, who also did the video ‘Planet Eaters’ for us, retrieved whatever he could and secretly salvaged the video over the last couple of years. The result is truly fantastic, so here it is, enjoy!”.

    Fans can now check out “Condemned To The Gallows (2023 Version)”, featured on the band’s 40th anniversary release Morgöth Tales from 2023. The clip was directed by Pierre Ménétrier and produced by Esprit Pop, managed by Bruno Beaudouin.

    Next up, Voivod will hit the road for a short North American run with BAT, followed by a more extensive European tour in the summer. More details and ticket links are available through the band’s official channels.

  • Bloodstock M2TM South Wales Interviews: Hateful Dread West Heat #4 The Bunkhouse, 08.03.26

     Interview With Hateful Dread West Heat #4 The Bunkhouse, 08.03.26


    1. Please introduce yourself for anyone who may not know you. Tell us a little bit more about you as a band.

    We are Hateful Dread, South Wales Doom at its finest. We have been together with our current lineup since October 2024 and have been making noise on the local scene ever since. We blend distorted sound with heavy metal and create what Google described as music for the end of the world. We are playing Hard Rock Hell Spring Break in March 2026 and cannot wait to share our music with a new crowd.

    2. What made you want to participate in the Metal To The Masses South Wales 2026 campaign? Have you had previous experience? Or is this your first time?

    We want the exposure that not only playing but winning will bring. We believe our heavy sound in perfect for Bloodstock having been a few times. We are new to the scene and M2TM is a great way to network with other bands some of which we have already played with.

    3. M2TM is all about supporting your local scene. How important is the local scene to you as a band?

    So far everything, people have given us opportunities and we have yet failed to disappoint. Supporting the other bands and them supporting us has helped us to no end.

    4. We have a slightly different set up this year with Heats/Quarters/Semis taking place at Green Rooms/Bunkhouse. Have you played the venue before or is this your first time? Are you excited to get on those stages?

    We played The Bunkhouse in September supporting Heavy On The Ride

    5. What are your expectations from being a part of M2TM?

    As a band we expect some stuff competition which will help us improve down the line. We would love the chance to play in front of a huge crowd at Bloodstock and even hopefully open up other opportunities across the UK.

    6. What would getting to our Day Of Wreckoning final and the possibility of playing Bloodstock Festival 2026 mean to you?

    Both would be fantastic experiences personally and professionally, it was one of my personal goals when joining Hateful Dread.

    7. We encourage all the bands in M2TM to try and check out the other bands, who are you most looking forward to? Who should your fans also try to catch?

    Pvriah are amazing we have played with them before also Mould are great the young singer has a great voice and the band have a heavy sound.

    8. Tell us in five words why people should come and see your band.

    Psychedelic Doom, steeped in Dread

  • SUZI QUATRO Drops “Little Miss Lovely” From Upcoming “Freedom” Album

    Rock ’n’ roll mainstay Suzi Quatro will release her new album Freedom on March 27. The second single from the record, “Little Miss Lovely”, is now available, following the title track “Freedom”.

    Speaking with Dawn Osborne of TotalRock, Suzi Quatro explained how the album took its final shape. “I was going through the master mixes, and the album was gonna be called “Choose Yourself”, which was the top song for a long time. So I’m going through the mixes to approve, and this “Freedom”, it just kept coming out and smacking me in the face. And I went, ‘Okay, this is the first single, this is the title of the album.’ And have you ever seen and heard a picture and a song, and a title that all says exactly the same thing? Doesn’t it scream it to you freedom?”

    The decision also guided the artwork: “Once I decided on that track for the single, I actually had a vision — [it was] so strange — a vision of this album cover and the single cover. And I couldn’t get it out of my mind. So I put out little notes to all my people who photographed me for years. I said, ‘Here’s what I’m looking for.’ And so I have a girl in Australia who’s done me for — I don’t know — since the ’80s. And she had a photograph of me from the back with my bass on, on stage. And the art team then got together and created the image around it. And it’s exactly the way I saw it in my mind’s eye. And it’s important.”

    Lyrically, Freedom reflects where she stands now. “I’m 75. I have achieved freedom in myself, in my attitude. I’ve dropped my excess baggage. I don’t have that anymore. I don’t have anything to prove. I’m comfortable in my skin. So it’s a very important personal thing. Also, in this world we live in, I say freedom — what is more precious than freedom? Nothing.”

    She expanded on that idea in a separate statement: “It’s all about getting back to who you are, and it applies universally. We all wear masks to get by in this world. For me it’s all about being comfortable in your own skin, having nothing to prove to anyone, and not accepting any B.S.! This is the journey this album takes you on. Here I am, warts and all. Take it or leave it. Choose yourself…and finally FREEDOM. Which also applies to the world we live in today. A very important word, a very important attitude and very important reality… ‘FREEDOM’!”

    The album also features a duet with fellow Detroit rocker Alice Cooper on a take of the MC5 classic “Kick Out The Jams”.

    From the early chart-toppers “Can The Can” and “Devil Gate Drive” onward, Suzi Quatro has sold more than 55 million records worldwide. Her catalog runs deep, with staples like “48 Crash”, “Daytona Demon”, “The Wild One”, “If You Can’t Give Me Love”, “She’s In Love With You”, “Rock Hard”, and the U.S. million-seller “Stumblin’ In”, her duet with Chris Norman, which returned to million-seller status worldwide in 2024.

    Beyond music, she built a strong acting résumé, including her three-season run as Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days, where she received the second most fan mail after The Fonz.

    Freedom was produced by L.R. Tuckey and mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios, closing the loop on a record that Suzi Quatro sees as a statement of identity and purpose.
