In this interview from the JUNO Awards Gala & Dinner, where Montréal rapper Loud won the Francophone Album of the Year Award, the artist discusses his reaction to this unexpected honour; what he’s learned from performing the songs from Une année record onstage; writing songs for his next album; his new foothold in France; and the continuing success of his hit single “Toutes les femmes savent danser,” which has stayed on the BDS Top 10 for several months.

2019 JUNOs Video Interviews: Voivod
Story by Eric Parazelli | Friday March 22nd, 2019
Voivod, Québec’s mythical metal band, has, for the first time in 36 years of existence, won a JUNO award – for Metal/Hard Album of the Year. We met with the band a few minutes after they accepted their trophy, and the musicians answered a few questions about the difficulty of remaining relevant, and evolving, while not alienating longtime fans. They also talked to us about their creative process and took a moment to pay homage to Denis “Piggy” D’Amour, the band’s influential original guitarist, who died of cancer in 2005.
