FROM VOIVOD:
E-FORCE TO FILL IN FOR SNAKE ON VOIVOD SUMMER TOUR.
Eric Forrest (aka E-Force) to the rescue as Denis Bélanger (aka Snake) needs to attend to a family matter this summer.
E-Force from 1994 to 2000 was the lead singer and bass player for the formidable power trio years of Voïvod. Upon return from a successful UK/Ireland tour with festivals in Iceland, Netherlands and Spain, Snake received news that weighed heavily on him and needed to make a very tough decision.
The band unanimously agreed that family matters most and were set to cancel the upcoming run of summer European shows from July 10 to August 16, when Snake suggested perhaps the band could carry on if E-Force was available and interested. After all, Eric is part of the Voïvod family and is actively performing, but dealing with his own health issues.
Once reached, Eric was beyond flattered, and said he'd be able to clear his schedule and his health was in check.
A set list has been worked out. Rocky, Chewy and Away look forward to performing with E-Force and will be thinking of Snake. The show will go on and the Cosmic Voïvod Multiverse keeps expanding.
From Eric:
"Greetings to all! I am honoured and blessed to be asked to fill in for Snake this summer, to keep the Voïvod fans, band, legacy in motion!! I'm very thrilled to be part of this tour. I never ever imagined this, but I'm happy and motivated to step in and take care of business...Can't wait to see you all! Merci, santé!"
