Recalling the inebriated charm of Zakk Wylde’s groove-metal, liver punishing, Black Label Society, Voodoo Six’s riff-laden preface to debut album ‘First Hit For Free’ could be the humourless by-product of a group of men who’s mindset has been left back in the late-eighties.
Moving along at a sluggish pace, the London five-piece’s illustrious past (with various members supporting the likes of Iron Maiden, Dio and UFO) is evident throughout the singles blueprint; from the uniform, sub-Iommi guitar figures (including a poorly disguised lifting of a section of ‘Sabbath Bloody Sabbath’ during B-side ‘Crawl’), to vocalist, and relative newcomer, Henry Rundell’s best Bruce Dickinson-lite impression.
Uninspired stuff indeed, and whilst the aim may have been to recreate the same adolescent enthusiasm, instinctive head-nodding, and ridiculous gurning that is forever dormant within everyone ever attracted to Metal or Hard-rock in the past, the forgetful, bland six-string histrionics and thrill-free arrangements make for dull air-guitar displays.
