Fast-paced London trio Vodun continue to excite with their new digital single, “Minos Army.” After issuing their debut EP, Eat up the Sun, on Superhot Records in 2013, the band has hooked up with Riff Rock Records for the “Minos Army” unveiling, and the quick-riffed track arrives complete with an animated video that shows copious tribe-on-colonial-oppressor slaughter, artfully crafted in rhythmic swirls of color that fit well with the song itself, which provides yet another showcase for vocalist Chan, whose command at the fore of the track is all the more stunning when one considers that Vodun don’t yet have a record out.

On that issue, a 2016 release is planned for Possession, the debut from the avant metal three-piece — Chan, drummer Zel, guitarist Oli — and that will presumably also hit through Riff Rock Records as the first non-compilation release backed by the newcomer imprint. If “Minos Army” is anything to go by, it’s going to be quite an offering, the band’s voodoo-inspired aesthetics and powerful thrust already proven as one waits to behold what sort of dynamics they might be able to bring to the mix. Nothing to do but sit by and find out, unless you count watching the clip for “Minos Army,” which if you need a kick in the ass — and I think we both know you do — offers a swift one.

Enjoy:

Walk with the Vodun…

Heavy-Afro-Psych trio Vodun are the first signing to Riff Rock Records. We’ll be releasing a digital single in August mixed by Tom Dalgety alongside an amazing animated video.

If you don’t know Vodun, get in there now. They’ve been destroying crowds up and down the country with their incredible live shows for the last two years and we’re overjoyed to bring them on board as the first band on the Riff Rock roster. They play a blend of afrobeat and psychedelia that’s held together with massive, Sabbath-sized riffs.
