Modern rockers Voodoo Six have been championing a form of
all-guns-blazing music which has been recognized by members of the rock and
metal elite from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden to Mike Portnoy formerly of Dream Theater.
Songs to Invade Countries
to provides a great balance between heavy, guitar based epics and melodic
moments which show off a more light-hearted side to the band. The tracks also
have a groove and definite blues-based kick which, along with the fantastic
guitar solos, played with a gnarly tone shows how Voodoo Six are masters at a
very traditionalist form of hard rock.
The vast majority of the album falls firmly into a category of
earthy hard rock, which meld with groovy hooks to create a gritty atmosphere.
The tracks are all strong rockers; riff laden and driving, which keeps the
album moving forward without becoming repetitive.
The album perfectly shows off the musicianship and song-writing
skills of all the band members, offering opportunities for all to shine.
Overall the album is a great rock and roll album which draws
heavily on classic influences, whilst still managing to maintain a modern sound
which allows it to fit in with the 21st century’s rock and metal
scene without sounding outdated.
8/10
