Voodoo Zombie has already prepared the continuation of its 2008 self-titled debut, the album is called "Santa Muerte" and promises to expand the imagination of the best music production group and zero makeup.
For centuries, the Santa Muerte has been revered in Mexico, despite numerous attempts to eradicate their religion, which until today was condemned by the Catholic Church, but remains firm. And for the past five years, the national group has persevered as Voodoo Zombie national stronghold that crosses called psychobilly punk rockabilly with more revered abroad than in Chile. So the next album the band is called "Santa Muerte" makes sense.
It is logical then to know that Lucifer Rocker, guitarist of the quartet, was raised in Panama, where Santeria (as in Central America) is an ordinary custom. With this background, when the singer Katona Katrina dressed as pagan deity for a photo shoot, the idea that this must be the concept of the ensemble's second album took off and became a song.
'Santa Muerte' was the first song Voodoo Zombie wrote for his new album, based on the myth prison to use human bones as a source of energy, released in countries where this goddess concentrates its acolytes. With this new song, the group realized the first of many changes that would occur. "We started being psychobilly, but were more a rock band that defined a style, you can play for or against, but it gave us more freedom to write because we are not locked into a scheme," they say.
When the band joined the repertory to record once again José Luis Corral of The Knife officiated disquería as an investor and opted for a top-flight production. One requirement was fulfilled with the arrival of Jorge Esteban as a music producer and sound engineer, who contributed with his expertise as a palette of names ranging from The Ramones to Los Tres. But just before recording, drummer Pelao Psycho announced he was leaving the project. "It is difficult to maintain the style of image, was overwhelmed and decided to leave," said Lucifer Rocker.
auditions came to find the missing piece, until it appeared Don Mor Tis and again the puzzle complete. In January, the quartet entered Dragonworks studies and experience with their new member was immediately positive. "He gave us fresh, before playing a bit of punk rock and things metaleras also has another school and it shows, is solid. Arrived it was right that we appreciate. The first month I had the whole repertoire former armed and the other month I had the songs on the "Santa Muerte". And also recorded very fast. Almost everything in the first shot "on the bill include the album whose first single is 'Param', a cover of The Prisoner.
With the record ready, and as if the news were scarce, Voodoo Zombie made a decision: let's make up. "We tried out the natural and was not much difference because we have a powerful image. Was complicated need a dressing room to do it and not all locations have it. And delayed 40 minutes each. Could not stay stuck forever painted zombie. Now we have another sound and image also had to change. The theme of the song continues, horror movies, zombies, vampires, werewolves, that is, but the sound is much more work. What we wanted was to meet international standards, not noticing the difference between the sound of this album and one of Green Day, for example. We believe we achieved what we were looking for. "
