Voivod - Tribal Convictions Lyrics

strong sonic pounding terror , the spaced - out thrashers of the 21 th century !!!

AS IF it was necessary to say that: Who's the god
Who's the dog
Who's the dog
Who's god, Who's dog
Who's god, Who's dog
Who's god, Who's dog
Who's god, Who's dog

THE GREATEST BAND OF THE UNIVERSE AND BEYOND!!!!!!

One of the best and my favorite song awesome video. The first time i seen this video was on mtv s headbanger s ball.

This song is another example of the genius that is Voivod.

Bien lo dijo Jason Newsted"Ellos son de otra galaxia"y creo que tenia toda la razon...son unos autenticos cabronazos!!

It really has tsken me 30 years to truly appreciate VoiVod for the GENIUS level.
They were on some NEXT LEVEL shit.

There was, and is, nothing like Voivod. Total innovators.

30 years later, this still gives me chills. Voivod were and remain the real deal. TO THE DEATH!!

@ 3:01 onwards is just the craziest shit ever.

is this what one could call.. psychedelic metal?

One of the most unique and original metal songs ever made. VoiVod deserves huge respect!

Супер!

3:49 Part always gives me goosebumps

There’s nothing like voivod aesthetics

Voivod and Tool. Both in a league of their own and inspirational.

In 2019, still best intro ever

Away has always been one of my favorite drummers ever and it was an honor to meet him year ago in my hometown in Finland in Tau Cross show . He told they (Voivod) had supported Metallica just two weeks ago in a big stadium concert somewhere and now tonight he will play in small bar in Turku and how great it is !!! :)

Old School Thrash Metal... God Bless...

Un Abrazo muy fuerte pa esta peña que son mis Idolos of litttle yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! High arms strongs for this Group!!!Voivod jajjajajaa!!!traca!!!fireeeeee!

True story: back in 1993 on their Outer Limits tour my friend Jason and I were noticing the posters all along the wall behind where they were selling their tour shirts. I told Jason I wished I could get one, but the lady selling the shirts said they're not for sale. Literally from behind me Piggy comes out of nowhere, and begins pulling posters off the walls to give to us and anyone else who wanted it. Then he dragged the rest of the band out to sign all the posters, and the show didn't start until they were done and everyone was happy. The guy was a total bro.

That's actually a really cool story

That's such a Voivod thing do to! I really love those guys.

So glad I got to see them on this tour, and in a very small club. Got there early, stood right up front. They were so unique in both image and sound. Their hair, , their names, guitar shapes, angular riffs, no over-usage of power chords, strange vocal style, album cover artwork, etc.
They claimed to be from Quebec, but that we all knew that was a lie. They came from the planet Voivod, and were there to kick our ass.

Excellent *rubs hands together*

One of the very first metal video's I've seen in my life 30 years ago, and it's still ahead of time.

Hochelaga!

It’s pretty obvious that Pantera where influenced by some of the shots in this video. When the fast part kicks in it is very much alike the Mouth for war video and during the solo you have 5 minutes alone video

Oka! OLD THRASH METAL... OLD CLASSIC SONG...₹|m|₹

GABRIEL BEHD amazing SONG.

Perhaps THE band that got me into thrash.

the greatest track off their absolute masterpiece album "dimension hatröss".

Every track on it is excellent. There isn't a single B-side filler track on it (or Angel Rat or Nothingface or Outer Limits).

Tribal Convictions was always one of my absolute favorites of VoiVod. It's a powerful song this band was so unique and intelligent. VoiVod's drummer Away (Michel Lengevin) was a brilliant drummer and artist. God I miss eighties metal.....

i would jam this album everyday, and i swear because of this song my mom started to enjoy voivod. This isnt just a masterpiece song, ITS FUCKING ART.

"Are there any forces.... are there 2 faces.... are there some chances"

damn..........

i just picked up dimension hatross on vinyl. sounds just as good as when i had it in 88. good to see there rereleasing all this good stuff

Tonight!!!

best album in 1988

I was assistant director on this one and on Psychic Vacuum. Both were directed by Claude Gregoire.

@Tobe Damit Well good job man! Those 2 videos got permanently tattooed in my brain back when they came out. They both changed my life.

@CarcPazu Wow really! Thanks man and thanks to the guys from the band who hired me and director Claude Grégoire to have shown faith in me. It's still one of my best eperience music wise. BTW kool fact i'm a pygmy from Hatross DImension dancing during Psychic Vaccum Piggy guitar solo. I'm tripled and elongated. I have a website called Loud Alien Noize in which I talk about Voivod 2 or 3 times ( Iena whoole articles). I'm looking for soemone who would write a good review of their last alsbum The Wake! I would publish it under the author,s name of course!

Great job indeed, been a fan since '87. Still watch both videos today at 43 years old.

awesome!

Great video !!! Marvelous editing and ending !!! One of my favourite videos of all time !!!

When I first saw this video on MTV Headbangers ball back in the eighties I digged it...hard as fuk

Ahead of their time in 88, still ahead of their time in 2016.
RIP Piggy

Oh no my friend,he just is elocvent like all untalented mediokritet critics.Just listen and trust yourself.It is too forvard.

Somebody censor Dying crow

DyingCrOw is fucking RetarDed!

update: still ahead in 2018

Still far ahead in 2019

good scifi metal!!!

only good thing to come out of French Canada

Sword's Metalized album is pretty bad ass too.

Great song, vocals are terrible though. I would have been into the band if they had someone who could actually sing.

I always thought that Piggy's guitar playing and and Away's drumming were the biggest strengths of Voivod

the more you listen to voivod, the more you realize that snake voice fit em best

I really like his voice actually, fits the music perfectly, and I think it's dated quite well too, unlike Joey Belladonna for example (who I love by the way)

Whose dog

this song helped me get thru my childhood!!
#classic

*Classic!* One of my all time favorites. RIP Piggy. Viva la VOIVOD!

A vastly underrated thrash metal band, whose sound and musical influences made them stand out from the crowd.
RIP Piggy: Although sadly gone, DEFINITELY NEVER FORGOTTEN

Way way way ahead of their time.

Underrated? It's a legendary cult band, not a commercial shit

The great dyslexic existentialist debate:
Who's God? Who's Dog?

Ehhhr, ok. To compare God with a dog? Oh well, i am not the prude type but hey, i am a christian. Anyway. Just for the record, i want it to be in the record....is it now? Yes.

I realize i am a bit too sensitive now, sorry.

@Gods Elect Atlantis rael but the so called God might not be ur friend!!

Who's ogd

Супер. Просто супер!!!

I've never seen....that before before.

Who's dog?

en France,ce morceau est apparu dans "war and pain"!!

Great classic record

More true Now than then!

Hochelaga(2000) brought me here

Yeah!! Dimension Hatröss, asti de bon album!

kriss oui man!

RIP Piggy (Denis D'Amour) we miss you.

i went to school with his daughter....

@ShamlanXQC did ya bang her

best band ever

Batman batman batman

1000 HAILZ to SNAKE,PIGGY(R.I.P.),BLACKY and AWAY...VOIVOD!!!

Best intro evah

woo so beautiefull I like it

Classic video i havent seen it in years

Maybe he is in Dimension Hatross, who knows?

Messy, discordant, digital, everything Voi Vod were and are at their best. Love it. RIP Piggy indeed; what an amazing legacy of chaotic riches he left us.

IQ 134 -band

Probably the best Voivod ever

I started with Metallica and Master of Puppets.
This song reminds me how I searched for the album after seeing it on television.
Changed to Voivoid after having it.
Went to a gig a lot of years later, sadly with Eric Fores. :P

The best unique sounding metal band at their time!

Actually, I don't think they were that underrated. They were always kinda big among the people I hang up with, and I loved and respected them back when Dimension Hatross was released.
R.I.P. Piggy.

VOIVOD REINVENTED THE WHEEL!

Their masterpiece for sure...

I wasn't convinced about this until 1:52 and then I tripped the fuck out!

Metal, punk & hippie in one! My kind of band! Peace on the psychedelics, mon! =D

fuck no this band kicks major ass son

Voivod was WAY ahead of their time! The ultimate marriage of metal, punk, and drugs!

fucking sick, take out metallica. put them in the big 4.

When the alchemists of metal came to earth they left behind some of the greatest masterpieces known to the progressive genre.

Voivod ponders the questions that have trouble mankind from the beginning: Who's God? Who's Dog? Whose God? Whose Dog?

Here Voivod ponders the question that has long troubled man: Who's God? Who's Dog? Whose God? Whose Dog?

Psychotic sound

voivod man! loved this song when i was 14, i'm 35 now and still lovin it!

voivod,voivod,voivod,voivod,voivod.......r.i.p.piggy thank you...

umlauts were very popular in the 80s

This is one of the greatest things humanity has ever created.

Best Voivod song by far if you're a metalhead. I recorded this video on Mtv one night on HeadBanger's Ball, I still have the VHS tape but no player to play it :( Also on that is King Diamond's Welcome Home. 1988 I believe?

E T E R N A L P S Y C H E D E L I C M E T A L

@drax13
fuck, same happened to me :)

this band deserved A FUCKIN LOT more recognition than they got. they were the only thrash band that was different. canada has badass musicians

@Kastlefeer Kicking ass is just an understatement when you're mentioning "Tribal Convinctions". This song kicks so much ass that even Chuck Norris would be scared.

i gotta see them live!!

Noise had some great bands in the 80's. One of the best!

All these sounds come together in one of the greatest songs ever!

Incredible Thrash Progressive Metal... \m/ !!!!!!

I still clearly remember the first time I heard this song, about a week after it was released. It changed my life forever. I've shared them with many people over the years; some get it, some don't. VoiVod is a powerful band, and were always more than just a 'metal' band. They were doing something important, whether they knew it or not.

7 people need a tribal conviction

Fuckin brilliant band.

getting to see them live during this era is one of my most treasured memories

Excelente, anoche Voivod toco en Chile y todo estuve alucinante !!!!!

Wow-that brought me back to my angst filled teen years- still sounds as good as it did 23 yrs ago- such underrated talent

@TheEhce That's Blacky. Away is the drummer.
