Voivod's '80s heyday is where Forgotten in Space warps us, when the band had moved to Montreal following the Metal Blade Records release of furious 1984 debut War and Pain, sharing an apartment and continuing rehearsing and writing material for a follow-up. For Langevin, as told to Prog's Jerry Ewing for the Forgotten in Space sleeve notes, there is great enjoyment in how present day reverence and retrospective releases like this allow him to 'blend the future of Voivod with the past.' Fifteenth studio effort Synchro Anarchycame roaring into the world this past February.

Soon after, the band's 14th studio album The Wakecollected Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year honours at the 2019 JUNO Awards. In 2017, Voivod captured the Visionary award at Prog magazine's Progressive Music Awards, with Langevin telling the crowd it was the first award the band had ever won. It's a homegrown heavy metal history that's still being written. Noting the influence of classical and psychedelic music on their much more aggressive style, Langevin affirms to the interviewer, 'There's no limits.'

Discussing their genesis, Langevin draws a throughline from the fantastical illustrations and imaginative world-building of his youth to the group's 1980s present as a progressive thrash powerhouse, while D'Amour reflects on their shared desire to move beyond the industrial surroundings of Jonquière, QC - which produces a third of all aluminum manufactured in Canada - to ply a different kind of metalwork. In a short documentary that accompanies Voivod's new box set Forgotten in Space, archival footage finds the metal band's Noise Records-era lineup of drummer Michel 'Away' Langevin, vocalist Denis 'Snake' Bélanger, guitarist Denis 'Piggy' D'Amour and bassist Jean-Yves 'Blacky' Thériault sitting down for a brief interview in what looks like a diner booth.
