Hey, Dan, I'm into (well, I WAS, don't listen to them much lately) Voivod.
Have all their albums except Negatron. They were a very unique and talented
band in the thrash metal genre. My faves have always been Killing
Technology, Dimension Hatross and Angel Rat.
Not much relation to HW or BOC, though, except it may be the closest thrash
metal ever came to space rock...
