Review:

Hotly tipped UK Psych/Hard Rock/Doom/Stoner Rockers – Vodun – are not only a very hard band to describe but on their new single – Minos Army – they're in a league of their own. Damn this is good and I mean really good.

Minos Army is a Soulful Doom/Blues/Stoner Rock crusade of blistering riffs and soaring vocals. It's a crazy psychedelic affair and 3 minutes is never enough to listen to Vodun as this band is fucking addictive!!! - Their music is inspired by a whole range of genres and sounds but Vodun manage to create their own sound. They call they're sound – Heavy Blues Psych – which is a great description though it's got a heavy style of Stoner Metal running through it's veins.

Lead vocalist – Oya – brings a world-weary presence to the band with her delicate soulful bluesy vocals. Match them with the blistering music from Ogoun and Ghede on Drums and Guitars respectively then you have a psychedelic power trio who have the potential to become one of the breakout stars in 2016 when they release their hotly tipped debut album – Possession.

Until then enjoy Minos Army which is parts Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, QOTSA and a whole truckload of crazy psychedelic beats. VODUN – you have my attention. 2016 can't come quickly enough. I want to hear POSSESSION now. Awesome stuff.
