Blue/White vinyl (NHSLP022C) which is for Indie stores only. NHSLP022 is black. Both LPs are gatefold and include a free CD & DL. CD digipack with lyric booklet. It's time to acknowledge the power of women, to burn with the fire of a banshee wail, to taste the energy of revolution and feel the inspiration of generations of resistance. And that's where the second album by insurrectionary heavy rock trio Vodun, comes in. 10 slabs of ground-flattening, groove-inflected rock power, driven by the afro-inspired dervish drums of Zel Kaute (interpreting the spirits of Ogoun), the roar- ing, fierce chromium guitars of Linz Hamilton (The Marassa), and fronted by the fire-breathing howl of frontwoman Chantal Brown (Oya), delivering you the truth of generations with a drive and focus that can't be matched. It builds upon the foundations laid down by their 2016 debut, Possession. "On Possession, we'd just written our first bunch of songs as a band and wanted to make a record” says Chantal. "We recorded our first album at leisure when all the songs were ready. We knew that we couldn't leave too much time for putting out a second album, so there was more pressure with album number two. Our new guitarist Linz (The Marassa) has definitely helped us out in terms of filling out our sonic attack and helped bring more blazing thrash sections & thicker riffs. Zel (Ogoun) spent hours crafting the drum parts and researching the different tribes and regions each beat comes from, and obsessively listening to Afrobeat records to pull out anything from a rhythm to a horn phrasing for inspiration. Everything was more thought out for this second album and meticulously crafted - we even gave ourselves more time in the studio! 5 days rather than the 3 we had for Possession.” Their palette now embraces a healthy dose of extra percussion, saxophone, and vocal arrangements that pair Chantal's holler with harmonies,chants and howls, a full-spectrum of sound that suits their polymorphous attack.
