Infini ― like every album from Quebec metal legends Voivod ― rocked hard, classy and skilful, but after the last headbang, those heads remained lowered out of respect for the late Piggy, whose last recorded axe work graced this disc. While metalheads await word on the band’s future, they can pass the time with this album, which nailed down the straight-ahead punked-up metal that defined the band’s Newsted era, while also having enough moments of ‘vod dissonance and quirkiness for the old-schoolers.
