VOODOO Six will tour the UK in September in support of their fourth studio album Make Way For The King, which is set for release next week.

The band, a renowned live force, will perform 12 dates, including Southampton’s own Talking Heads on September 29.

Having toured all over Europe, most notably as special guests for Iron Maiden, and also for Steve Harris’ British Lion, Voodoo Six have also performed four times at the Download Festival and twice at Sonisphere.

Make Way For The King boasts 12 brand new tracks and was recorded in Los Angeles in 2017. Produced by Tom Fletcher (Suicidal Tendencies, Ozzy, Steve Lukather, Yes, Jeff Beck), Make Way For The King is the first album to feature new vocalist Nik Taylor-Stoakes.

Voodoo Six specialise in delivering driving, contemporary rock with an undercurrent of blues cut through with killer riffs.

Founder member Tony Newton told the Daily Echo of his pride at the new record and fresh start for the band.

He said: “It feels like this is the right time for us to return. We’re incredibly proud of the new material and can’t wait both for people to enjoy Make Way For The King at home but also to join us for what are going to be some amazing live shows!”

The current Voodoo Six lineup consists of Nik Taylor-Stoakes (lead vocals), Matt Pearce (guitar), Craig Price (guitar), Tony Newton (bass) and Joe Lazarus (drums).

The London based rhythmic hard rockers have enjoyed a loyal following since forming back in 2003, conceived by bassist Tony Newton and guitarist Richie Faulkner. Following a brief stopover by Newton in Los Angeles for production work, he returned to the UK rejuvenated and the pair began recruiting members for the band, before starting on the club circuit.

Enjoy tracks from the new record, as well as favourites from the back catalogue, previous albums Feed My Soul (2006), First Hit For Free (2008), Fluke? (2010) and Songs To Invade Countries To (2013). Tickets : 023 80 361 970 or thetalkingheads.co.uk
