help Voivod - Dimension Hatröss FAQ
What is the story of Voivod's Dimension Hatröss?
The album follows the recurring Voivod figure Korgull as he enters and studies a strange artificial microcosm called Dimension Hatröss. Songs including "Experiment" and "Macrosolutions to Megaproblems" describe its science-fiction systems and conflicts.
Why do the guitars on Dimension Hatröss sound so unusual?
Denis "Piggy" D'Amour used dissonant chord shapes, tritones, and angular intervals instead of relying only on conventional power chords. That vocabulary helped separate Voivod's 1988 sound from both standard thrash and progressive rock.
Who created the artwork for Dimension Hatröss?
Voivod drummer Michel "Away" Langevin created the band's distinctive science-fiction visual world and album imagery. His drawings connect directly with the record's invented technology, characters, and environments.
What is the Batman theme doing on Dimension Hatröss?
Voivod recorded a version of Neal Hefti's theme from the 1960s Batman television series. It appears as a bonus or closing track on various editions rather than as a core chapter in the Korgull concept.
