E-Force

As the replacement for popular vocalist Snake in Voivod, Eric Forrest had some big shoes to fill. He performed more than capably for them, but his career derailed when he suffered severe injuries in a van accident while on tour in 1998. After a long recovery he was finally ready to resume, but Voivod had broken up, or decided to move on without him (depending on what story you read), and Forrest was left without a gig. But he has rebounded successfully, landing a role in Project: Failing Flesh as well as fronting his own band, E-Force. By 2003 his new band had released its first album, Evil Forces. Inevitably, comparisons to his previous band will come, and in this case the comparisons are valid. Both musically and vocally, E-Force might be thought of as a harsher, rougher, thrashier version of Voivod (which isn't too far off how Voivod themselves sounded when Forrest was with them) -- this is by no means a copycat, but there is some similarity, certainly enough to recommend Evil Forces to Voivod fans, though that's not the only potential fan base here.

Since the release of that debut, Forrest has made another bold step, deciding to move to France and recruiting an all-new lineup under the E-Force name. Whether the musical direction of the band stays the previous course remains to be seen.
