World Entertainment News Network reports that Canadian metal legends VOIVOD have shelved plans to begin work on a new album to allow bassist Jason Newsted to recover after hurting his arm in a freak accident.
Newsted reportedly tore his bicep and rotator cuff trying to catch a bass that had fallen off an amplifier last October, forcing him to pull out of a tour with supergroup ROCK STAR SUPERNOVA.
But he is on the mend and will record his bass lines separately to VOIVOD.
Drummer Michel 'Away' Langevin says, 'He needs time to recover from the surgery he had.'
As previously reported, VOIVOD's video for the 'Katorz' (2006) track 'The Getaway' has been posted online at YouTube.com. The clip was created by editing together footage from the album's recording session and the band's 2003 U.S. tour. Currently, the band is working on a clip for 'Polaroids' and will follow with a video for 'The X-Stream'. VOIVOD is also finalizing plans to re-release their early back catalog on The End Records. Langevin said the band will start with 1986's 'Rrroooaaarrr', the following year's 'Killing Technology' and '88's 'Dimension Hatross'. He said each LP will be remastered and upped with a bonus DVD.
