In Germany rock gala’s are somewhat massive, and there are a large number of them organised during the rustic, particularly right through the summer season. Considered one of them is the well known SUMMER BREEZE FESTIVAL, which was once at first began by means of drummer ACHIM OSTERTAG so as to have his personal band VOODOO KISS on level of a large pageant. In the end, the pageant turned into Achim’s child, and the band cut up up till a couple of years in the past when VOODOO KISS got here again to lifestyles and recorded their self-titled debut album.
2 years later the band releases their 2d comeback album within the form of Really feel The Curse. I gained a stupendous purple coloured vinyl version of the album, which is available in a gatefold duvet that incorporates the much-needed knowledge at the recordings, the lyrics of the songs and the band’s line-up in addition to an image of the band and the cool caricature art work this is all a super excitement for the eyes whilst being attentive to the tune. 8 songs are incorporated in overall, and opener and titletrack Really feel The Curse is an overly catchy uptempo 80s influenced melodic heavy rocker within the taste of AXXIS, V2, VICTORY, VOODOO CIRCLE and such vintage German Melodic Hardrockbands. It’s like we’re again in 1985, but VOODOO KISS does now not sound dated in any respect, as a result of particularly because of the shared vocals of Gerrit Mutz (SACRED STEEL) and Steffi Stuber (MISSION IN BLACK) and the large manufacturing in their new album, the band sounds conventional, however obviously a band of the fashionable age. The opposite 2 participants of the band are by means of the best way guitarist MARTIN BEUTHER and bassist KLAUS WEILAND. The album’s songs are in reality in keeping with an idea kinda tale concerning the persona Dr. Evil, who needs to create a Bride of Frankenstein for himself. Different highlights on their new album are the catchy AXXIS/ANGEL HEART/STORMWITCH ish uptempo melodic heavy rocker Spellbound By way of Her Eyes, the very early EDGUY/MAIDEN/HELLOWEEN oriented sooner NWOBHM piece Dr. Evil and the very good sturdy uptempo melodic rocker Lords Of Darkness.
Concluded, this album will not be bringing anything else new to the style, however in case you like vintage conventional 80s German melodic heavy rock/steel with a marginally of NWOBHM and a few melodic hardrock influences, then this new VOODOO KISS album is unquestionably a counsel one to take a look at. Be sure to grasp your self a replica of the vinyl version, as a result of a large number of effort has been carried out to make it glance completely very best and I believe they succeeded actually neatly!
