Voïvod: We Are Connected

INTERNATIONAL PANORAMA

The long-distance run of one of the most singular bands in metal history, told in the form of an oral history. Spanning four decades—from their beginnings in Quebec in 1982 to masterpieces like Dimension Hatröss and Nothingface, rubbing shoulders with Iron Maiden, Rush, and Metallica, painful losses and unexpected rebirths—the film reveals how a group of young outsiders turned alienation into art. Their voices, along with those of celebrated fans (Celtic Frost, Gorguts, Opeth, Edge of Sanity, Deceased) and the illustrations of drummer Away, unravel a mutant, unmistakable musical vision that fuses thrash, prog, punk, space rock, and dystopian science fiction that today feels closer than ever.
