WebsiteVoivod is a Canadian thrash metal band, originating from Jonquière, Saguenay, in Quebec. Formed in 1982, the band comprises Denis "Piggy" D'Amour (guitar), Jean-Yves "Blacky" Thériault (bass), Denis "Snake" Bélanger (voice), and Michel "Away" Langevin (drums). The Voivod is a vampire-android knight of the post-nuclear era. Inspired by a Transylvanian legend, this antihero came straight out of the imagination of Away, the band's drummer, author and illustrator. The Voivod character evolves and metamorphoses from one album to the next until the album Voivod in 2003. However, he would return at Blacky's request for the album Target Earth (2013).

Mascots
Korgull
Korgull, the band's mascot, still gives off a certain class; he looks like the monsters you doodle in the corner of a notebook when you're bored stiff in class. His appearance varies from record to record, always with absolutely hideous features bordering on post-modern art. His most notable appearances remain "War and Pain" and "Rrröööaaarrr", on which he has a song named after him.
