Description:

Quote:
Voodoo Circle is the new band of the German guitar player Alex Beyrodt, who in the past was active in bands like Silent Force and The Sygnet among others. Style-wise this new band Voodoo Circle can be compared to a band like Silent Force, because the melodic metal of both bands show quite some similarities. I’m of the opinion though that the song material of Voodoo Circle is a lot stronger and sounds a lot fresher.

The eleven songs on offer (if you decide to buy the digipack version you’ll get two extra bonus tracks) are therefore very worthwhile listening to and especially ‘Desperate Heart’, ‘Master Of Illusion’ and ‘Enter My World Of Darkness’ can count on my personal appreciation. Guitar player and song writer Alex Beyrodt can really showcase his talent in the Voodoo Circle song material, but he’s certainly not the only one who makes a very good impression.

Worth mentioning is the very positive contribution of vocalist David Readman (Pink Cream 69) to the whole by means of his powerful and crystal clear vocal parts. By the way, the band is completed by bass player Mat Sinner (Primal Fear, Sinner), drummer Mel Gaynor (Simple Minds) and keyboard player Jimmy Kresic, which clearly demonstrates that we’re not dealing with a bunch of amateurs here. Furthermore people like Dougie White (Rainbow, Cornerstone, Malmsteen), Rudi Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Whitesnake), Richard Andersson (Majestic, Space Odyssey) and Norifuma Shima (Concerto Moon) have been given a guest spot. I must say that I was and still am very pleasantly surprised by what Voodoo Circle has done on this debut album. People who are into Rainbow and Dio and can appreciate great guitar work should try this one for sure.
