Voodu Announce Crushing, Varied Debut Single âPicturesâ Off Upcoming Album

Voodu is an American modern metal band from Los Angeles, USA. They got started during the pandemic, and now, with their debut album in the works, they are excited to introduce themselves to fans. The first look at who Voodu is comes through the groove-oriented single âPicturesâ. It starts on a thick bassline and builds up from there before exploding into the songâs main riff. It dynamically bounces between quieter verses and explosively loud choruses. No part of the song is identical to another. Every verse, chorus, and the bridge is different in one way or another. The band shares their thoughts on the release:
âPictures came from a place of confusion and despair. In its composition, the sense of spiraling into disarray and apathy before being consumed with anger and angst came naturally in its progression. We joke that itâs as âprogâ as we get, between the verse starting on the 2 of a 4 count and chorus starting on the 4, the meter change from 4/4 to 7/4 in the bridge, and the key change at the end. While the song is far from âprogâ, in many ways those elements fit in the songâs composition in a way we didnât realize made total sense. They catch you off guard the same way the lyrics allude to being confused between whatâs real and whatâs made up. It is both a cry for help and an apathetic plea of defeat. The push and pull between âhelp meâ and âleave me aloneâ. Itâs begging to be numb or ambivalent to the pain caused by the confusion and doubt of oneâs own self or the world around them.â
The forthcoming yet-to-be-titled album is a high-energy group of songs that are meant to walk fans through a vast range of emotions. Even the slightly slower or more emotional songs still have heavily distorted guitars and melodically aggressive vocals. It covers a wide range of subjects from feelings of self-doubt, toxic relationships, people who abuse power, the duality of human nature, and addiction. Voodu hopes that their first offering will resonate with people on a visceral level, in a way they havenât heard before.
Chick full of a wide assortment of influences, Voodu makes music that will appeal to a wide audience. One of the bands they cite is Linkin Park, who introduced them to this kind of music. Itâs the comparison they get most often, due to similarities in voice and the electronic element. Thus far, they have made fans out of the most dedicated of metalheads, as well as the âI donât usually listen to heavy musicâ people and everyone in between. They are especially recommended for fans of Rammstein, Linkin Park, and Alice In Chains.
