I thought we heard from ║ │ │║ guitar wizard Alex Beyrodt and his Voodoo Circle ║ │ │║ project just last year. But no, Whisky Fingers, ║ │ │║ a very fine album, appeared in 2015. Beyrodt is ║ │ │║ back, and Voodoo Circle is now a four-piece band ║ │ │║ with a new lead vocalist in Herbie Langhans from ║ │ │║ Symphonity and Sinbreed. Raised On Rock is ║ │ │║ Voodoo Circle's fifth studio album. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Honestly, Beyrodt and company don't venture too ║ │ │║ far from the signature Voodoo Circle sound: ║ │ │║ melodic hard rock with a metal edge and laced ║ │ │║ with a blues motif. The band has always reminded ║ │ │║ me of Whitesnake, just more intense. Langhans is ║ │ │║ not quite the blues crooner that Coverdale is, ║ │ │║ but you can still here him deliver the blues ║ │ │║ timbre when appropriate. Of course, Beyrodt ║ │ │║ delivers his usual melodic harmonious riffs and ║ │ │║ thrilling guitar solos. In the rhythm section, ║ │ │║ the versatile Matt Sinner remains with the band ║ │ │║ to give punch to the hard rock groove. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ As for the songs, the opener Running Away From ║ │ │║ Love might twist you up if your were looking for ║ │ │║ that blues motif to start. No, it's more melodic ║ │ │║ heavy metal, almost bordering on power metal. ║ │ │║ But wait for it, with the next song, Higher ║ │ │║ Love, hard rock meets blues in an AOR wrapper, ║ │ │║ and Langhans unwraps his soulful voice. You get ║ │ │║ some of that Whitesnake latent blues angle ║ │ │║ within Walk On The Line, Dreamchaser, and ║ │ │║ Ultimate Sin, all of which have a dangerously ║ │ │║ obsessive beat and groove from the rhythm ║ │ │║ section. But you can't mistake the Whitesnake ║ │ │║ influence within Where Is The World We Love ║ │ │║ where you hear Is This love floating in the ║ │ │║ background. Alternatively, with Just Take My ║ │ │║ Heart and Unknown Stranger, you have some ║ │ │║ straight up hard rockers, with both having ║ │ │║ melodic and harmonic AOR accessibility. Finally, ║ │ │║ and the last song, Love Is An Ocean, returns to ║ │ │║ the blues motif with plenty of acoustic guitar ║ │ │║ twisted with more of Langhans' soulful vocals. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ By way of repetition, Raised On Rock is ║ │ │║ quintessential Voodoo Circle: melodic hard rock ║ │ │║ with a metal edge and laced with a blues moves. ║ │ │║ At first spin, I wasn't quite sure the album was ║ │ │║ as good as the previous Whisky Fingers, but ║ │ │║ Raised On Rock holds it's own, especially with ║ │ │║ Herbie Langhans at the microphone.
