Brazil’s REVIOLENCE will be recording their first CD in September. It will feature ten songs (produced by Marcello Pompeu and Héros Trench) and two additional video clips. The band’s new line up includes guitarist Fabio Moya.

Blabbermouth.net just posted the following sad news: VOIVOD guitarist Denis "Piggy" D’Amour passed away Friday night (August 26) at approximately 11:45 p.m. due to complications from advanced colon cancer – so advanced that the disease had spread to his liver. D’Amour slipped into a coma Thursday night and died less than 24 hours later in the palliative care unit of a Montreal hospital, surrounded by family and friends. He was 45 years old.
