Album Description and Collector's info: 

Released in 1989, VOODOO X's debut album, "Vol 1 The Awakening," is a hard rock classic that deserves more recognition than it currently receives. The band featured accomplished musicians, including vocalist Jean Beauvoir, who had worked with KISS and the Plasmatics. This 12" vinyl LP album stands out with its powerful vocals, driving guitars, and memorable hooks.

VOODOO X's music is a mixture of hard rock and heavy metal, with elements of blues and funk thrown in for good measure. The band's sound is characterized by crunching guitars, driving basslines, and thunderous drums. The songs are heavy and aggressive, yet still catchy and memorable.

The album's opening track, "Voodoo Queen," is a great example of this. The song's riff is instantly recognizable, and the chorus is infectious. Beauvoir's vocals are powerful and soulful, and Appice's drumming is thunderous.

Another standout track is "The Awakening," which features a funky, almost danceable groove. The song's chorus is memorable, and the guitar solo is blistering. nse.

The album's production is also worth mentioning. The sound is raw and powerful, with a live feel that adds to the energy of the music. The mix is balanced, with each instrument and vocal part clearly audible.

The lyrics on "Vol 1 The Awakening" are not particularly deep or complex, but they fit the music perfectly. Most of the songs are about love, lust, and rebellion, with a few nods to the occult and supernatural thrown in for good measure. The lyrics are not overly serious, but they are not silly either. They are just the right mix of attitude and fun.

This album includes the original custom inner sleeve with album details, complete lyrics of all songs by and photos.

Album Production information:

The album: "Voodoo X The Awakening" was produced by: Jean Beauvoir and Max Norman

  • Max Norman – Record producer, sound engineer Max Norman produced albums that taught me how heavy metal could sound huge without turning to mush. From Ozzy Osbourne’s razor-sharp comeback records in the early ’80s to Megadeth’s ferocious early albums later that decade, his productions are clear, aggressive, and disciplined. I always notice how every instrument has space to punch you in the face, which is harder to pull off than it sounds.
