Swiss melodic metal Gods Crystal Ball are set to issue Déjà-Voodoo, their 9th album on September 2, 2016, in Europe and October 7, 2016, for North American markets. Released on Massacre Records, Déjà-Voodoo comes hardly a year after the release of their highly successful album LifeRider. The Liferider album sat well with many on Decibel Geek staff and was highly reviewed for the website by Shawn “Animalize” Irwin (Liferider album review).
The band began originally in 1995, releasing six albums up to 2007. After a creative break, Crystal Ball came back stronger than ever in 2013 with the Dawnbreaker album and playing 40 shows in six countries. Original members Scott Leach (guitars) and Marcel Sardella (drums) are joined by a great new frontman, Steven Mageney from Wuppertal, Germany as well as Cris Stone (bass) and Tony “T.C.” Castell (guitars).
This fall, Crystal Ball will be on tour with Shakra through Switzerland and Germany.
