Mechanical Mind, a brand new song from Canadian metal innovators Voivod, is available for streaming here. The track will be released on October 9 (one day earlier internationally) as a digital single and a limited-edition seven-inch single-sided vinyl with a skull etching by Voivod drummer Michel "Away" Langevin on the B-side.

Mechanical Mind comes off Voivod's new album, Target Earth, which will be released on January 22, 2013 (one day earlier internationally) via Voivod's own company, Iron Gang Factory, and Century Media.

Commented Voivod: "Our goal has been to find a partner for Iron Gang Factory to help get new Voivod music to the world and Century Media, we are proud to say, is the right company to do so globally. We can't wait to release tour and promote Target Earth."

Target Earth was recorded in January at Pierre Rémillard's (Obliveon, Cryptopsy, Krisiun, Misery Index) Wild Studio in a small town called St-Zénon in Quebec, Canada. The follow-up to 2009's Infini will contain the band's first music to be written with new guitarist Daniel "Chewy" Mongrain (Martyr) following the passing of original axeman Denis "Piggy" D'Amour in 2005.
