Mikael Akerfeldt (OPETH) a Uffe Cederlund (ENTOMBED) se švédskému magazínu Close-Up přiznali k obdivu k nedávno zesnulému Piggymu a celým VOIVOD.
„I listened to that album ("Dimension Hatröss") every day on my way to school for a month and a half. It was like Piggy totally created his own chords, disharmonic stuff that no one else did back then. For me, a major part of the band's appeal was, 'How is he able to make it sound so disharmonic and crazy?' That's something I wanted to pick out [on the guitar] myself. In essence, it's basically the 'devil's interval,' the chord BLACK SABBATH used in the song 'Black Sabbath'. You play those three tones together in ONE chord and get the VOIVOD feeling. It should be played rhythmically as well.
There have never been any other bands that have sounded like VOIVOD, not even today. Many bands cite VOIVOD as a huge influence, but none have really been able to bring it into their own music. However, I would imagine that groups like NEUROSIS probably have listened to VOIVOD quite a lot,“ uvedl Michael.
Uffe Cederlund pak dodal: „I've never heard anyone play guitar the way Piggy did. He must have been completely fucking crazy. The band as a whole was so weird in a way. That appealed to certain people, but most people probably didn't get it. Piggy was so original that there was no point in even being influenced by him. If you had nicked something from him, people would've instantly recognized where you got it from. Of the newer generation of acts, CURSED have the same vibe [as VOIVOD], but it's always been punk bands that have that VOIVOD energy. That energy is something that I always wanted ENTOMBED to have.“
