Voodoo Highway has always lived in that sweet spot
where hard rock swings with swagger and the Hammond organ roars like it grew up
on gasoline. Formed in Italy and known for albums like “Broken Uncle’s Inn”,
“Showdown”, and “The Ordeal”, the band earned a steady reputation for energetic
hooks and a bluesy fire that set them apart from their European peers. After
seven years away from the studio and stage, their reunion show at RockaFE Festival becomes “Made In Kachot”, a live
document of their return to action.
The album
plays like a band stepping back under the lights with zero hesitation. The
crowd ambience adds raw charm and the band sounds hungry, loud and ready to hit
from the first second. Federico Di Marco’s
voice still carries that smoky edge, and the mix keeps him right where he needs
to be. Behind him, the Hammond roars in all the right places, the bass keeps
its warm thump, the guitar riffs cut through with character, and the drums lock
everything in with punch and swagger. The sound never slips into chaos, it
stays lively and rough in a way that suits a reunion show recorded straight
from the stage.
“Made In
Kachot” works as a bridge between the band’s past and whatever they plan next.
It reminds listeners why people cared in the first place, while making it clear
that the spark is still there. With a new studio album on the horizon, this
live release stands as proof that the long break didn’t cool them down. It only
loaded the spring.
Score: 7.0
