MUSIC IN BELGIUM talks about VOODOO HIGHWAY and their Live Show at R-Mine Metalfest 2013






Sur scène, le groupe Voodoo Highway, venu défendre son nouvel opus intitulé « Showdown » (sorti le 26 avril dernier). Le groupe originaire de Ferrara (Italie) est emmené par l’excellent Federico Di Marco au chant. Comme à son habitude, le groupe donne une prestation hypervitaminée. Ceux que d’aucuns surnomment les nouveaux Deep Purple ont assurément une bonne présence scénique.
Famous Underground "S/T" review by the ROCKPIT (AU) - Rating: 3.5/5.0






I liked Canadian Sleaze Rockers SLIK TOXIC way back in the early nineties just before everyone started shoe-gazing and dressing in the same type of flannels so it’s great to see gravelly-voiced front-man Nicholas Walsh back in the saddle and I’m glad to say it’s a rather Metallic and Sleazy saddle, just the way we like it...

Famous Underground Dead Weight
Canadian Hard Rockers Famous Underground released their video for the track 'Dead Weight', featured on their new self-titled debut album out now via Dust On The Tracks Records. The new single 'Dead Weight' is a melodic romp that takes you on a trip with an anthemic message that pertains to everyone. Sonically this represents the light and shade that is F.U., the song is a wakeup call for people to realize that they have the power to help create a more positive world.

Unchained Band
Oh, eine CD die mich voller Erwartungen gespannt auf den Inhalt macht...denn das Teil wurde von Logan Mader in Los Angeles gemastert. Dem Herrn eilt ein mächtig guter Ruf voraus. Schließlich hatte er schon Produktionen von Soulfly und DevilDriver unter seinem "Messer"! Also darf man hier auf einen großen Sound hoffen...bei den ersten gehörten Tönen jedoch springt mein Interesse am Sound sofort ab in Richtung Stil der Combo! Denn hier wird etwas echt erstaunliches "gepaart"!


Die Stimme des Vocalisten ist zu 100% dem Genre Deathmetal entsprungen.
