Jean-Yves "Blacky" Thériault quitte donc le groupe pour raisons perso (pas plus d'infos pour l'instant). Le groupe est visiblement en bon termes, ils lui souhaitent une bonne continuation dans ses projets futurs.

La loose quand même...

La grande question maintenant est bien-sûr... Jasonic ou pas Jasonic?

Peut-être bien, mais Jasonic a son propre groupe à faire tourner, pas sûr qu'il ait le temps.

Le nouveau bassiste a déjà été trouvé :

Canadian metal innovators VOIVOD have tapped Dominique Laroche to play bass for the band following the departure of Jean-Yves Thériault (a.k.a. Blacky). Laroche, who has previously performed with blues musician Steve Hill, made his live debut with VOIVOD last night (Saturday, July 12) at Festival Jonquière En Musique in the group's former hometown of Jonquière, Quebec, Canada. A photo taken at the show can be seen below. Another picture is available at this location.

Prior to VOIVOD's performance at Festival Jonquière En Musique, Thériault (who did not attend the event), along with fellow founding VOIVOD members Denis Bélanger (a.k.a. Snake; vocals), Michel Langevin (a.k.a. Away; drums) and the band's late guitarist Denis D'Amour (a.k.a. Piggy), were honored as international ambassadors of La Ville de Saguenay (of which Jonquière is a suburb) and will have their names inscribed on a plaque describing the history of the group, to be installed permanently at the Nikitoutagan Square in Jonquière.

"You have thousands of fans who have travelled all around the world to see you perform for over 30 years," Saguenay Councillor Jonathan Tremblay said. "You are rock stars whose homeland is right here. We are extremely proud of you."

"I am very excited," Bélanger said about the honor. "It's amazing for us to experience this because we are not accustomed to receiving honors. But we are very touched and grateful to be recognized In this way."

Langevin reassured fans that VOIVOD will continue despite the departure of Thériault.

"Dominique Laroche will play with us at the Heavy MTL festival with METALLICA on August 9, and then we will write a new album, which will probably be released next year," he said. "In the meantime, we will continue playing shows."

Sinon, ils vont bientôt commencer la composition de leur nouvel album et vont aussi être honoré dans la ville de Saguenay, avec une plaque contenant leurs noms et toute l'histoire du groupe.
