If you're a fan of Metallica, Slayer, and other old-school thrash records, then you should enjoy this record. Voivod is a Canadian thrash metal band but their guitarist, Piggy (RIP) plays primarily with jazz influences and the songwriting on this album is choppy and complex compared to the straightforward speed of Reign in Blood or the punk style of Among the Living. But Voivod doesn't slow down, they keep the speed up while maintaining the rhythms and time signatures of their songs which is impressive in its own right. 'War and Pain' is an excellent thrash record with breakneck drumming, frantic solos, furious riffing, and killer vocals. The vocals, however, is more of an acquired taste, his harsh screams are unlike any of the vocals on any thrash record, they lean more towards the black metal genre. The debut of a truly unique band, I urge you to check it out.Read full review
Just Killer. Voivod has always been a stand out for Canadian music, and they continue to deliver. This is just great.
It was in very good shape and was the best price I could find.
