The only record that sounds like Voivod at all to me is Die Kreuzen's October File...

i dunno about the historical facts of it but yeah 'scum' seems like a good idea to me, throw a buncha brief little misshapen blurts together and you've got a weird structure right there

alright, i kinda lost steam on the whole archeology project so i'm going to go ahead and say late '81 .... combination of us hardcore; deep wound, seige, black flag, youth korps, etc... swedish punk like asocial... uk crust like heresy....... i'm not strictly talking grindcore or deathmetal or techy prog metal, it's more of a disjointed structural thing that i don't think i explained very well but i think that's where and when and with whom it started....

nd's scum fits the bill, but that's '87 - apparently they used to gig with amebix and varukers and such, so i'm sticking with my half-assed theory......

anyway, thanks for some great tunes y'all, watchtower are rocking so hard, dude's got legit set of pipes......

two more things i discovered:

-don't do a youtube search for "deep wound" unless you got a strong stomach......

-there is metal in nunavut:
