Voodoo Circle- Broken Heart Syndrome

[Harvester]

As much as I'm looking forward to the new Poodles and Whitesnake releases, I don't think either of them can top this disc. Hell, I know it's February, but I don't see anything on the horizon coming close. It's a big step up from the debut for me.


It's just awesome bluesy hard rock that truly fits the Whitesnake/Rainbow style.




Thanks to Zane at CD Inzane for the nice surprise in the mail.

Anything Alex does kicks ass. Loved their debut album as well. Patiently waiting for this one.

What I've heard was really good, looking forward to it!

I really liked the debut cd...I look forward to hearing the new one. Hopefully, Alex has broken away from his Yngwie worship a little...the first cd had quite a few tunes that sounded like they were lifted off of Yngwie's "Eclipse" release.

For some of us...the Evergrey disk is RIGHT on the horizon...

Hold up! I was referring to music in the hard rock/AoR style.

Evergrey still dominates my player otherwise even after a few months.

Cant wait to get this. Any chance of getting Vodoo Circle to play ProgPower? Alex said he'd love to do it when he was here with Primal Fear.

I really enjoyed the debut. Looking forward to this.

Didn't like the debut in the end though I love Readman's voice. This new album is much better for me. I don't like the 4 or 5 blues songs on it, but can tolerate them cause of the awesome vox. The other songs are just killer melodic hard rock with shred tendencies with much better hooks than the debut IMO. I love the song Wings of the Fury.

That's the best part!

Glenn, It's like that blues song you kept going on about on the killer Human Temple album last year. That was the only song I didn't like! hehe! I don't know what it is about blues I don't like. I guess it's just that melancholy unhappy feeling it generates and it sort of drags. Thats why I'm a little bit worried about the new Whitesnake album as people have talked a lot about blues with regard to the songs. I loved GTBB the previous cd and that had some blues but also some regular melodic hard rock. I have read some people saying that this album is in direct competition with Whitesnake album and that VC have it trumped over the 'snake with this release. We shall have to compare in time.

This.

And... holy Slide it In era Whitesnake Batman... this shit rules.

2011 is off to one completely bad ass start.

damn that is some awesome stuff Glenn. Thanks for posting!!

Just listened to the clips....solid stuff. The funny thing is, I read a lot of hate on this board towards Yngwie, and yet so much giddiness over Voodoo Circle. "Broken Heart Syndrome" could easily have been lifted from the Doogie White era Malmsteen cd's. Most of the debut (as I've said before) could have been lifted from "Eclipse". It kinda makes me scratch my head....it would be like loving Airbourne, but hating AC/DC.

At times, I feel like I'm listening to a missing link between Trilogy and Odyssey. Which of course is a good thing.

 

[edgeofthorns]

Thanks for posting the links Glenn. It sounds like good stuff for sure!

The huge difference between Voodoo Circle and the Yngwie stuff is that VC is based on songs and not just the lead soloing. Also, the production is excellent, as opposed to the last ones I heard from Yngwie, which sounded quite bad...
