Killing Technology Skull 1986 Magnet

Upon their formation in 1982 in Jonquière, Quebec, Canada, Voivod primarily played speed metal heavily influenced by late 70s metal bands. The group would play their first live show (Later released as the demo Anachronism) on June 25, 1983 in Saguenay, and release another demo in January 1984 entitled To The Death! before getting signed. The band’s thrash-based debut, War and Pain, was released on August 10, 1984, followed by Rrröööaaarrr in 1986. Killing Technology is their third studio album that was released in 1987 and was the first to combine elements of progressive rock to the band's thrash metal sound, revealing a new sound influenced more by hardcore punk and crossover than metal, and had estimated sales of more than 60,000.
