This is the third album from the Swedish stoner rock band The
Quill who are now ready to release the follow-up to 1999's "Silver Haze".
With a title as strange as "Voodoo Caravan" the first band one might come to
think of is Cathedral. Now that is not too bad because there are obvious
traces from their sound in the music of this album. This may be just a
coincidence since both bands have found their inspiration from the same
sources. The most important one of these is probably Black Sabbath and the
vocalist Magnus Ekvall actually sometimes sing like Ozzy did back in the good
old days, of course not with the same voice but the way of singing is similar
as you will most certainly notice on the very strong title track of the album.
I must admit that stoner rock is generally not my favorite genre but then
again there are not that many bands playing this kind of music. The Quill is
one of the best ones I have heard so far and if you are into bands like
Spiritual Beggars, Cathedral and Black Sabbath you will probably find a lot to
enjoy on this release. By the way, their bass player Roger Nilsson also plays
with Spiritual Beggars and he has also been touring in the US together with
Swedish death metallers Arch Enemy.
