Voodoo Circle is a German hard rock/heavy metal band founded in 2008, as a project of Silent Force guitarist Alex Beyrodt (currently also playing with bands Primal Fear and Sinner) who had the idea to re-think his personal vision of music, making songs more based on his early influences, such as Whitesnake, Yngwie Malmsteen, Deep Purple and Rainbow.[1]
After the debut album called Alex Beyrodt's Voodoo Circle, the project became a collaborative band, composed of Alex Beyrodt together with vocalist David Readman (Pink Cream 69), bassist Mat Sinner (Beyrodt's bandmate on bands Primal Fear, Sinner and Silent Force), keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, also Beyrodt's bandmate on Silent Force) and drummer Tim Husung. On 05 May 2016, it was announced that original vocalist David Readman was leaving the band to focus on other activities.[2] On 20 July 2016, bassist Mat Sinner also announced his departure from the band.[3]
The band has gained some critical and commercial success with the 2011 album Broken Heart Syndrome. The last two Voodoo Circle albums are More Than One Way Home released in 2013 and Whisky Fingers released in 2015.[4]
