While it has been a while now, in prepping our Wayside Records item back on Sep 24, we saw a posting at the Karisma Records site the following: "We lost a good friend 4/8/2011 [Aug 4] and our thoughts and deepest sympathy goes to Schnitzler's family. Gill, children and grandchildren. He'll stay with us through his music." Back in February 2002 I reviewed his Conal 2001 release. By way of a very brief bio, I'll quote myself from that review: "Conrad Schnitzler is a name that is no doubt familiar to listeners of electronic music, certainly due to his own work, but also from his association with the first incarnation of Tangerine Dream -- appearing on their first album Electronic Meditation -- and with Kluster, a trio formed with Roedelius and Moebius..."

The lineup for this record includes Snake (Denis Bélanger) on vocals, Piggy (Denis D'Amour) on guitar, Blacky (Jean-Yves Thériault) on bass and Away (Michel Langevin) on drums.

In addition to material that would later appear on the band's War And Pain debut, this collection includes several other early Voivod offerings, as well as covers of Mercyful Fate and Venom.

Selected re-mastered songs from Axemaster's catalog are now available through the band's new ReverbNation page at www.reverbnation.com/axemasterofficial. Since being re-mastered the material now sounds much better than it did on any of the releases it previously appeared on, especially the songs from "Death Before Dishonor" and "5 Demons." In all there are 16 songs available (one never before released) and the cost is only $0.75 per MP3.

Progress continues toward finishing the writing of the new Axemaster release. Every small detail is being taken into account in order to be sure that this CD will end up being as good as it can possibly be. This is an extremely important release and the band is treating it as such by taking the time to do everything properly. The final product will definitely reflect this.
