Voodoo Six-First hit for free

White Knuckle
2008



Voodoo Six claim to be highly influenced by 1970's and early 80's rock and I can hear that to some extent. However I think their sound is more like those older influences as funneled through late 80's-early 90's bands such as Sound garden and Guns and Roses. In Voodoo Six we get a hard rock outfit where not only is every member a talented musician, but they also bring far more life to their songs than most of the hard rock acts of today. I think they manage to bring technical ability plus soul and emotion and let these parts help elevate their music as a whole. It's obvious that they put some work in towards making each song have it's own identity. Okay, they have their influences and they are obvious, but Voodoo Six are at beginning to develop their own ideas as well. They also handle their music with a great deal of confidence and poise as they obviously believe in what they are doing and that fact shines through on this release. This is a band who managed to blend melodies with some rough pounding rhythms that will stick in your head long after the CD stops. The biggest problem I had was they are a little repetitious at times and this seems to come when they try to stretch a song a little past when they should have stopped. Still this one of the more exciting hard rock releases I have heard a while and my hope this that Voodoo Six keep pushing and punching away at a hard rock scene that could certainly use the burst energy and skill that they so obviously possess.
