French stoner blues rockers Voodoo Queen to release their debut album »Violet Crown« on January 20th!

La Rochelle, France based stoner blues rockers Voodoo Queen are proud to announce their debut album, »Violet Crown«, which will be released on January 20th, 2026.

Says the band: “Composed of 7 tracks, »Violet Crown« marks the dawn of a first chapter, a journey where the mystical light intertwines with the more enigmatic shades of our sonic universe.”

Born out of a summer encounter in La Rochelle, France in August 2022, Voodoo Queen came into being through a mutual friend of Fabiola and Jérémie. Upon discovering Paul’s announcement on a music forum, he made the connection and also introduced Jimmy. The discussions quickly drifted from musical directions to instruments, and it became clear that the chemistry was there.

The result of a chance encounter and a shared passion for rock and stoner music, Voodoo Queen delivers unique sounds, a fusion of mystery, power, and escapism. Carried by personal lyrics, their compositions invite introspection, questioning in the face of particular hardships, but also the quest for personal growth.

Each song acts as a mirror of human emotions, between doubts, hopes, and revelations, where spirituality and the desire to follow one’s convictions intertwine. Through soulful lyrics and authentic energy, the band takes listeners on a journey between powerful riffs and melodic flights of fancy.

Inspired by the legacy of 70s rock and the power of modern sounds, Voodoo Queen navigates between the warmth of fuzz blues rock, the heavy sounds of stoner rock, and the raw energy of heavy rock.

Influenced by bands such as Kyuss, Planet Of Zeus, King Buffalo, and Valley Of The Sun, the band combines powerful riffs, heavy rhythms, and more ethereal passages.

The alternation of dynamic moments and melodic interludes creates intense, sometimes dreamy, always soulful pieces, where raw energy rubs shoulders with genuine musical sensitivity.
