Review: This band is
defiantly an up and coming act. After playing small shows and venues Voodou
opened up for Godhead, Gravity Kills, and Pigface in Nov 2001 at the Tremont
Music Hall in Charlotte NC... Two months after their performance Martin Atkins
signs Voodou to Invisible Records for a debut release in July 23, 2002. At this point I think this band
had only been around for about a year and a half…that’s amazing that Martin
would but so much out on the line for a band that no one had heard of if you ask
me.
They use
heavy guitar riffs backed up by some moody but danceable beats and crisp vocals.
The front women Michelle is an astounding performer, as well as an strong
writer. One of my favorite tracks of this album would have to be “ doomsday”.
Not only does Chris Connelly do vocals
on it but the main chorus is “stop this murder- every day
everything gets harder- step right on up- the circus has begun- now take your
cut- stop this torture- every day everything gets shorter- step right on up- the
circus has begun- now take your cut”. How fun is that?
This is defiantly a good cd to
pick up if you are looking for some new female fronted industrial that is not
poppy yet is not overly bitchy or
depressing with a weird sexual tone. I would also highly recommend this album to
any one who enjoys bands such as snake river conspiracy, meg lee, curve,
nocturne, or 12 rounds.

Review : Ok
you may be asking, why is this person doing a review of a cd that has under 5
tracks on it and is over 12 years old? Because I need to spread the plague of
wild babies speeding down the road in a pick up truck cranking this cd. Trust
me, you have not experienced the truth of this cd until you saddle up in the
rusty pick up truck screaming along with dust flying up in the air behind you
getting your pours all cloggy…I also highly suggest having a cowboy hat on as
well while you are doing this.
This
band is time was composed of people such as Chris Connelly, (pigface, damage
manual) Alien Jourgensen ,(Ministry) Trent Reznor, (Nine inch Nails) Martin
Atkins, (pigface, rx) Willian Rieflin, Paul Barker and many more. Plus the mixes
of this song is hilarious because for about 30 sec. of it they are raping and
after that to seal the deal with this cd they do a cover of “Public Image”. Yes I know finding this cd
may be a little hard…but it was just re-released, and that is what the internet
is for, right?
