Two and a half years after they broke into the wider consciousness with the launch of "Possession", the defiant fireball that is VODUN are back with their new album "Ascend"!
Ten slabs of ground-flattening, groove-inflected rock power, driven by the Afro-inspired dervish drums of Zel Kaute (interpreting the spirits of Ogoun), the roaring, 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.
Towering over the foundations of of their debut album, Vodun return to the city that forged them after touring Europe, sharing the stage with bands including Amenra, Turbowolf, The Picturebooks, Steak, Orange Goblin, Witchsorrow, Masiro and Uncle Acid and the deadbeats, and taking part in Desertfest London, Hellfest Open Air Festival, AFROPUNK Festival and Desertfest Belgium.
With an ever-clearer vision and sound to respond to the ominous political shifts occurring around the globe, this is the trio's most ferocious war-cry to date.
