Voivod’s Korgull has been around since the band’s early ’80s inception, has had songs written about him and has withstood multiple nuclear wars to become the longest-surviving member of the Voivod warrior clan. (The album title “Rrröööaaarrr” is supposedly the scream attributed to Korgull after surviving multiple nuclear wars.) On 1988’s Dimension Hatröss, he had an entire concept album dedicated to his exploits. Mascot creator and artist extraordinaire, drummer Michel “Away” Langevin, has so often reimagined the character that its mythology and timeline have gotten cloudy over the past 30-plus years, but the band still features variations — both new and old — of their thermonuclear warrior friend on shirts and cover art to this day.
