Bio:
VOODOO GODS were founded under the name SHRUNKEN HEAD.In TAMPA, early 2001 by Alex von Poschinger, Tony Norman and Seth Van De Loo. In early 2006 VOODOO GODS were joined by Hiro (who had played and still plays with such bands as: Dies Irae, Sceptic, Decapitated and Virgin Snatch) on guitars and Nergal (Behemoth) on vocals. 2007 the band was joined by bass guru Jean Baudin (who played with such bands as Nuclear Rabbits and Element of Surprise), Mike Browning (who played with the mighty Morbid Angel, Nocturnus, Acheron) on additional vocals & percussion and guitar legend David Shred Demon Shankle (who was 7 years with Manowar and recorded the mighty Triumph of Steel album with them and still rules the David Shankle Band) on lead guitar. In 2014 George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher joined Voodoo Gods, replacing Nergal, who due to the very busy schedule of Behemoth could not record another album with them. George ''Corpsegrinder'' Fisher recorded the first full length album album: "Anticipation For Blood Leveled In Darkness" ; which was released in July 2014 and produced by King Diamond's Andy La Rocque.In 2016 guitar virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Victor Smolski joined forces with Voodoo Gods.He recorded their upcoming album: ''The Divinity Of Blood'' which will be released in late autumn 2016. The Divinity Of Blood was again mixed and produced by Andy La Rocque.So enjoy our art and music...!! VOODOO GODS play METAL with influences from Death and Thrash Metal. Most of the lyrics deal with voodooism and spirits of nature, as well as the affects done by Christianity and colonialism.VOODOO GODS is a band and not a side project... VOODOO GODS are an ancestral musical system of worship and ritual practices, were gods are born and honoured along with the veneration of ancient and recent ancestors, who earlier ruled the same tutelary gods. This band shares metaphysical conceptions based on a dual cosmological machinery of art. You could describe VOODOO GODS as: “The serpent under whose auspices gather all who share the faith” and music is the vehicle for the expression of the serpent’s power. Their music is an expression of spirituality, of connection with divinity and the spirit world!!!
Album:
When a band is gathering joining known musicians, things can become nasty due to one fact: the fans that already know the musicians will look for similarities between their previous works with the new one. And this way of thinking can become sour, because no one wants to keep doing the same thing endlessly, and imagine if it’s done in two or three bands at the same time. Starting from this point, the best way to deal with VOODOO GODS, a sextet from Tampa, Florida (USA), that is releasing their infamous second album, “The Divinity of Blood”.The mistake many can do is to compare the band to CANNIBAL CORPSE due the presence of George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher on the vocals (that he shares with Seth Van de Loo). No, there are no similarities, because VOODOO GODS plays a technical and violent mix between Thrash Metal (60% of their personality) and Death Metal (40%, of course). But their way of making music is excellent as well, besides not being anything new at all. The arrangements and musical aggressiveness is great, the energy amazing, and the songs catches the listeners easily.Once more, as happened with “Anticipation for Blood Leveled in Darkness” (their first album), Andy LaRocque is working with the album’s mixing and mastering, but this time, he worked as producer as well. The sonority is heavy and aggressive to the bones, as some Death Metal acts from Tampa love to do, but clean and defined in a Thrash Metal way. And it fits almost perfectly on what they want to do.There are 11 tracks presented “The Divinity of Blood”, all of them an explosion of aggressiveness, but the hooking Thrash/Death Metal insight of “Isa” (very good grunts, of course, entwined by very good shrieks and melodic guitar solos), the bone-crushing slow paced tempos of “Rise of the Antichrist” (a fine work from bass guitar can be heard in many moments), the catchy guitar arrangements of “Forever!”, their excellent version for NECROPHOBIC’s “Before the Dawn” (very good drumming, indeed), and the violent and technical aggressive puke of “The Divinity of Blood” and “The Ritual of Thorn” (on both versions). It’s a massive and brutal album for extreme Metal fans.VOODOO GODS is good surprise, for “The Divinity of Gods” is a fun and brutal album!
