In late 2006 one of these demos caught the attention of Swine (of black metal solo project Swine and rock & roll bruisers Salute) and he was drafted into the project as percussionist and engineer. Hateful Abandon was born. The duo were soon studio-bound and debut album 'Famine', predominantly written and performed by Vice Martyr, was released on indie label Todestrieb Records in December 2008.

The album was well received in the underground but, although it pioneered the so called 'post-punk black metal' movement, the band were not satisfied. They felt that they could blur the lines much further, both musically and conceptually and started to work on the follow up, 'Move', this time writing and performing together as a team.

 

After a series of false starts and live experimentation 'Move' emerged in July 2011 once again on Todestrieb Records. The first album that fully realised their vision, it was a feast of melodic hooks and barbed industrialism, floating sci-fi soundtracks and cigarette-end filth.

The new album 'LIARS/BASTARDS' to be released in 2014 improves and refines these themes, once again warping the idea of what alternative music should be in 2014.

 

'No More' captures Voodoo Vegas's full throttle driven, hard rock style perfectly. 

The band have also just confirmed they will support Status Quo this December.

 

Already winning accolades early on in their career (Best New Band at Pure Rawk Awards 2014 / No.1 in Classic Rock Magazine poll as voted for by the public) and receiving critical acclaim from music press and fans alike - Voodoo Vegas have honed their skills sharing stages with Glenn Hughes, Uriah Heep, Fozzy, The Wildhearts and Gilby Clarke.

Bournemouth's finest recorded their debut album at legendary Rockfield studios and was produced by Multi-Brit award winning producer Pedro Ferreira (The Darkness, Therapy?, Joe Strummer, Enter Shikari).

 

'No More' is the final single to be released from Voodoo Vegas's debut album - with the band heading back into the studio in 2015 to record new material.

 

Voodoo Vegas are:

 

Lawrence Case – Vox/Harmonica

Nick Brown – Guitars

Merylina Hamilton – Guitars

Ash Moulton – Bass

Jonno Smyth - Drums

After all those changes the band entered the studio (Dedolor Recording Studio, Turate) in July 2010 to record their 2nd demo ‘Gargoyles’. The demo was well received, but also showed that there was still potential for improvement. 2011 saw another line-up change with Guglio leaving the band to give him more time to improve his skills with the Cello. The place behind the bass did not stay vacant for long though with Dema taking over as the new bassist. Then, in September 2012, after several live gigs the band began to record the drum parts for their first album (RecLab Studio, Milan; Sound Engineer: Larsen Premoli). When the rest of the band entered the Alpha Omega studios something surprising happened: Guglio rejoined the band!

‘Endless Reign’ (Studio: Omega Studio; producer: Alex Azzali) features 8 tracks and can be considered a treat for every Old School Metal fan who likes the idea of a Heavy, Progressive, Black, and Thrash elements coming together in one single album. Two further treats are Dan Seagraveís (Morbid Angel, Hypocrisy, Malevolent Creation, and many more) and an outstanding guitar solo of a very special guest, namely Jeff Loomis (ex Nevermore) himself!
