VOODOO GODS, the new flagship on Death Metal heaven, signs a worldwide record deal with the up-and-coming label Reaper Entertainment Europe. The new studio album, "THE DIVINITY OF BLOOD", will be released in spring 2020.

 

Since their formation in Tampa (USA), the band has unleashed powerful Death/Thrash, which is influenced by voodooism, rituals and anti-Christian forces as well as the spirits of nature.

 

The band was founded in 2001 by Alex von Poschinger, Tony Norman (ex-MONSTROSITY, TERRORIZER) and Seth Van De Loo (SEVERE TORTURE). Five years later guitarist Hiro (DIES IRAE, SCEPTIC, DECAPITATED) and Nergal (BEHEMOTH) joined the band as singer. One year later bass guru Jean Baudin (NUCLEAR RABBITS, ELEMENT OF SURPRISE) and Mike Browning (MORBID ANGEL, NOCTURNUS) followed as additional vocalist and guitar legend David Shankle (ex-MANOWAR) joined. With this line-up the band released the EP "Shrunken Head" in 2008.

 

Due to the full BEHEMOTH schedule Nergal had to leave the band and was replaced by none other than George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher (CANNIBAL CORPSE). Together with him the band released their debut album "Anticipation For Blood Leveled In Darkness" in 2014, which was produced by KING DIAMOND's Andy La Rocque.

 

In 2016 guitar virtuoso and all-rounder Victor Smolski (ALMANAC, ex-RAGE) joined the band. With him VOODOO GODS recorded their second studio album, which will be released by Reaper Entertainment Europe in spring 2020. The new album once again will be produced by Andy La Rocque.

 

VOODOO GODS are a band and not a side project.

 

To celebrate the signing the band presents a brandnew lyric Video of the Necrophobic song "Before The Dawn". Check it out here:

 

 

ALEX from VOODOO GODS states:
"We are very proud and highly honored, to be part of the REAPER universe. We are really happy, to have found a record label, which put such a diligence and effort to also support Death and Thrash Metal music. It's a huge step for VOODOO GODS, to have REAPER ENTERTAINMENT and UNIVERSAL distro at our ringside."

 

Victor Smolski adds:
"It was a great experience for me to be part of recording process of new VOODOO GODS CD! Very powerful, aggressive songs with unexpected parts and interesting arrangements."

 

George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher states:
"I look forward to the release of "THE DIVINITY OF BLOOD" and I can't wait to see the reaction towards the new songs."

 

Greg from REAPER adds:

{tab=title="BIOGRAPHY" class="orange"}

VOODOO GODS were founded under the name SHRUNKEN HEAD.

In TAMPA, early 2001 by Alex von Poschinger, Tony Norman and Seth Van De Loo. In early 2006 VOODOO GODS were joined by Hiro (who had played and still plays with such bands as: Dies Irae, Sceptic, Decapitated and Virgin Snatch) on guitars and Nergal (Behemoth) on vocals.

 

2007 the band was joined by bass guru Jean Baudin (who played with such bands as Nuclear Rabbits and Element of Surprise), Mike Browning (who played with the mighty Morbid Angel, Nocturnus, Acheron) on additional vocals & percussion and guitar legend David Shred Demon Shankle (who was 7 years with Manowar and recorded the mighty Triumph of Steel album with them and still rules the David Shankle Band) on lead guitar.

 

In 2014 George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher joined Voodoo Gods, replacing Nergal, who due to the very busy schedule of Behemoth could not record another album with them. George ''Corpsegrinder'' Fisher recorded the first full length album album: "Anticipation For Blood Leveled In Darkness" ; which was released in July 2014 and produced by King Diamond's Andy La Rocque.

In 2016 guitar virtuoso and multi-instrumentalist Victor Smolski joined forces with Voodoo Gods.He recorded their upcoming album: ''The Divinity Of Blood'' which will be released in late autumn 2016. The Divinity Of Blood was again mixed and produced by Andy La Rocque.

 

So enjoy our art and music...!! VOODOO GODS play METAL with influences from Death and Thrash Metal. Most of the lyrics deal with voodooism and spirits of nature, as well as the affects done by Christianity and colonialism.

 

VOODOO GODS is a band and not a side project... VOODOO GODS are an ancestral musical system of worship and ritual practices, were gods are born and honoured along with the veneration of ancient and recent ancestors, who earlier ruled the same tutelary gods.

 

This band shares metaphysical conceptions based on a dual cosmological machinery of art. You could describe VOODOO GODS as: “The serpent under whose auspices gather all who share the faith” and music is the vehicle for the expression of the serpent’s power. Their music is an expression of spirituality, of connection with divinity and the spirit world!!!
