Voodoo Six return to the scene with the release of their fourth studio album, ‘Make Way For The King’, released via Cadiz Music on 8 September 2017. Exclusive special editions will be available via www.pledgemusic.com/voodoosix; anyone pre-ordering through PledgeMusic will receive, ahead of the album’s release, an exclusive Radio Edit of the album title track ‘Make Way For The King’.
‘Make Way For The King’ boasts twelve brand new tracks and was recorded in Los Angeles in 2017. The record was produced by Tom Fletcher [Suicidal Tendencies, Ozzy, Steve Lukather, Yes, Jeff Beck, Scorpions, Toto, Malmsteen]. ‘Make Way For The King’ will be the first album to feature new vocalist Nik Taylor-Stoakes. Voodoo Six specialise in a delivering driving, contemporary rock with an undercurrent of blues and cut through with killer riffs. Classic Rock approved of their, “groove, pace, power, insistent songs and some stunning musicianship.”
In support of ‘Make Way For The King’, Voodoo Six are also preparing to announce UK tour dates. The band are a renowned live force, having toured all over Europe, notably as special guests for Iron Maiden, and indeed for Steve Harris’ British Lion, but have also performed four times at the Download Festival and twice at Sonisphere.

Founder member Tony Newton said of the new record and fresh start for the band, “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 new album shows just why the band has gathered such a loyal following since forming in 2003. There may have been a few bumps in the road along the way but with ‘Make Way For The King’ Voodoo Six show that they are still in with a chance of seizing the crown.

““One of the UK’s finest musical products of recent years, Voodoo Six is currently flying high. Class dripping from every note, the band fires a continuous fusillade of great riffs and addictive licks, and Purdie consolidates his claim as one of the UK’s very finest hard rock vocal stylists.
Expect STICT to be topping those end-of-year best-of polls all over the place. Outstanding.”

““Suddenly everything’s come together. There’s groove, pace, power, insistent songs and some stunning musicianship. These are outrageously catchy anthems that prove Voodoo Six now have what it takes to be massive.”

““You can’t play this type of Southern‐fried riff‐and‐hook rock with anything other
than talent, drive and purpose ‐ something that Voodoo Six have in abundance.”

Steve Beebee - Kerrang
"With a superior new frontman, Luke Purdie, replacing Henry Rundell, this followup
presents a significant leap forwards. Luke has a monstrous, rich and bluesy set
of pipes that would have been right at home in Lynyrd Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet
and the band have come up trumps with a convincing and memorable set of kickass
groove‐laden hard rock marauders"

"The best debut album I've heard in years"
Steve Harris - Iron Maiden
"You rise from your chair and buck your hips to the bombast of No Friend of mine, find yourself punching the air to the meaty grooves of Feed my Soul, even raise a Zippo to the sublime balladry of Saints & Sinners. An absolute cracker"
Henry Yates - Classic Rock Magazine
"This is superior classic hard rock, pure and simple...makes this album such a joyful, chestbeating thrill"
Emma Johnston - Kerrang!
