Voivod "Negatron (Canada, Hypnotic Records, HYP 001 CD)"

Negatron is the eighth studio album by Canadian heavy metal band Voivod, released on November 21, 1995, through Hypnotic Records worldwide and Mausoleum Records in the United States. It is the first studio album not to feature original singer Denis "Snake" Bélanger, who temporarily left the band in 1994, with bass player Eric Forrest assuming vocal duties for the recording. The album also features Foetus frontman JG Thirlwell as a guest vocalist on the final track "D.N.A. (Don't No Anything)".

The album is considered a departure from Voivod's previous progressive metal style, with the band adopting elements of industrial metal while "they pollute their avant-garde punk metal" and death metal growls within a heavy metal framework.

The CD release is notable for including multimedia tracks in CD-ROM format, which was a novelty at the time.
