Voodoo Six is a cornerstone of the 21st-century British hard rock revival, formed in 2003 by bassist Tony Newton and guitarist Richie Faulkner (who later joined Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, respectively). The band's sound identity is built on a 'heavy-groove' philosophy, prioritizing rhythmic pocket and melodic guitar layering over pure speed.
Their career arc is marked by high-profile endorsements, most notably from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, which led to extensive European touring and a reputation as a premier live act. Critically, they are viewed as a 'musician's band' due to the technical proficiency of their members and the high production standards of their releases. Their influence web connects the classic 70s rock of Deep Purple to the 90s grit of Alice in Chains, filtered through a distinctly UK metal lens. Despite multiple lineup changes, including several lead vocalists, the band has maintained a consistent sonic signature: aggressive, bass-led arrangements and anthemic songwriting that bridges the gap between pub rock and stadium metal.
