Voivod's "Negatron" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Insect

"Insect" was the first track on the album "Negatron". The title is only sung once, in a line that says "obey Insect". So no, it's not a song about a bug.

Fun Fact: Voivod was formed in Jonquiere, Quebec, Canada.

Answer: Project X

"Project X" was the second track of the 1995 album "Negatron". The song is about people going to live in space because of the earth's destruction (Voivod is a metal band, after all, so destruction is a common theme), which is a mission apparently called "Project X".

Fun Fact: The band's first successful album was 1989's "Nothingface", peaking at 114 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Answer: Nanoman

"Nanoman", the third track from Voivod's 1995 album, makes no sense if you read the lyrics, so I won't even attempt to tell you what it is about. No really, it makes no sense. An empty cash register makes more cents (groan).

Fun Fact: The 'character' found on many Voivod album covers is named Korgull.

Answer: Reality?

"Reality?" is the fourth track of the "Negatron" album, and is about how bad life really is, and what torment might be found beyond.

Fun Fact: Original band members went by the names Piggy, Snake, Blacky, and Away.

Answer: Negatron

Of course! The song is "Negatron", which, uncoincidentally, appears on the Voivod album "Negatron". It is the fifth track on the album. I was a bit surprised reading the lyrics; the song actually is about a negatron (or electron).

Fun Fact: Snake's real name is Denis Bélanger. He is the lead vocalist.

Answer: Planet Hell

"Planet Hell", the sixth track on the album "Negatron", is about the horrible things that would exist in a horrible future world (though most exist now).

Fun Fact: Deceased guitarist, Denis D'Amour, is nicknamed Piggy.

Answer: Meteor

I am sure there is a song out there about a flying potato, but this song is actually about a meteor crashing to the earth and leaving a desolate wasteland behind. It is fitting, then, that the song is called "Meteor".

Fun Fact: Blacky, the bass player, is really named Jean-Yves Thériault.

Answer: Cosmic Conspiracy

"Cosmic Conspiracy", the eighth track from Voivod's "Negatron", is, not surprisingly, about a conspiracy. Why it's cosmic I'll never know. Interestingly, though, they only song "conspiracy" once, but "cosmic" twice; though they do not sing the two words together.

Fun Fact: Michael Langevin, known as Away, was the band's original drummer.

Answer: Television

The television rots the brain, wires your mind, and is, generally, viewed as a bio-hazard in the Voivod song "Bio-TV". In the song, television is considered "harmful beyond belief".

Fun Fact: other members of the band include (but are not limited to): E-Force, Chewy, and Jasonic.

Answer: Don't No Anything

"D.N.A. (Don't No Anything)" was the tenth track listed on the album "Negatron". Upon reading the lyrics, it seems to be about anaesthesia. Strange, indeed.

Fun Fact: "Negatron" was the eighth album by Voivod. The first seven were "War and Pain" (1984), "Rrröööaaarrr" (1986), "Killing Technology" (1987), "Dimension Hatröss" (1988), "Nothingface" (1989), "Angel Rat" (1991), and "The Outer Limits" (1993).
