Strigampire confirmed to replace Senate at the DVD release concert.
As stated on Senate website: "Senate are saddened to announce the recent passing of our guitarist Jay Hudson's father after a lengthy battle with illness. We want to extend to him and his family our sincerest condolences.
Unfortunately we will have to cancel our May 8th show in Trois-Rivieres, QC and our May 18th show in Hamilton, ON to allow Hudson to take care of what he has to. [...] Once again we apologize to everyone who was hoping to see us at these dates and we hope to make it up to you sooner than later!"
Dan Mongrain with VOIVOD
VOIVOD, who last performed live on July 30th, 2003 during OzzFest in Florida, will return to the stage on June 22nd, 2008 as part of the Heavy MTL Festival in Montreal.
The band has issued an update regarding their upcoming live appearances."A lot has happened since the band's last live appearance. The band had taken time off to begin writing what would become the album Katorz.
In April 2005 while the new album was in progress, guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour became ill before recording began and sadly died of colon cancer. It took awhile to recover from the sudden passing of Denis before Michel 'Away' Langevin, Denis 'Snake' Belanger and Jason 'Jasonic' Newsted could begin to assemble the songs from the demos and create Katorz.
Discussions of a tribute show and possible guitar players for it followed, yet it just did not seem right to perform without Denis, but time does help heal wounds and this summer Voivod feel it is time to perform the music Denis helped create once more.
On June 22, Voivod will perform in Montreal as part of the Heavy MTL festival and July 26th, 2008 in Calgary for the Monsters of Rock festival with original bass player Jean-Yves Theriault ('Blacky') for the first time in 17 years. Dan Mongrain from the Quebec band Martyr, a good friend of the band, will play guitar.
Songs from the early catalogue will be the focus for these short festival sets. Jason Newsted is still very much part of the Voivod family and is working with the band on the new record (also constructed from the 2004 demos) along with Jean-Yves Theriault and Eric Forrest. However, Newsted is unable to perform live at this point.
Denis and Michel are determined to play more shows in the future to celebrate Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour's legacy. Stay tuned."

Patrice on the two past tours with DESPISED ICON...
As stated by Alex Erian from Despised Icon in an interview for Way too Loud web magazine:
"We’ve got a fill-in drummer on this tour, Pat from Martyr. [...] Alex Pelletier is missing out on this tour and the next one, so we have [...] Pat [Hamelin] filling in on drums. Alex will jump back in with us on tour next year in Europe.[...] We were afraid at first, because Pat had 1 audition and 2 jams, and then we left for a 2 month tour. It took a lot of guts and a lot of preparation on his part, and we’re all really satisfied in how everything is coming along."
N.B. Both Despised Icon tours just ended. See their archived show dates of November-December 2007
Francois on tour with KATAKLYSM...
As announced
on Kataklysm
website :
"Kataklysm will tour as direct support to Chimaira from November
until Xmas. [...]
Unfortunately, bassist Stephane Barbe will not be able to make the trek
on the Chimaira tour due to an important family obligation. He will rejoin
the band on the four last dates of the tour.
Kataklysm will be utilizing the services of Francois Mongrain, bassplayer of tech death metalers Martyr for the tour until Stephane can rejoin the band."
See the live performance on Youtube 1, 2, 3 and 4 at Tucson, Arizona!)
(Tour dates...)We're looking for live video footage of Martyr.
