First EP of VOORHEES. Old school death-metal band from France. Influenced by death-metal music & movies from the 80/90's.
Formed in early 2017, Voorhees is made up of 3 musicians, Jean-Marc (N.D.E.), Fred (Dehumanize) et Chris (Metal Militia) whose most noticeable common point is to please themselves playing the music they like, i.e early death metal from the late 80s/early 90s that we call "old school". Voorhees does not revolutionize anything, does not innovate, has got nothing original and has no other ambition than playing the old school death metal that bands such as Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel or Asphyx (among others, because the list is long) contributed to disclose and to develop so that it became a fully-fledged style. 'Old school' remains the key word for Voorhees, from its name to its imagery, not mentioning its lyrics, its logo, and obviously its music. Now, we know that you think Voorhees was created by seniors playing old-fashioned music for seniors, but as death metal touches anybody we will only retain the first two criteria.
October 2017, Stef (Metal Militia) joined the band on drums…

Formé en début 2017, VOORHEES est composé de 3 musiciens, Jean-Marc (N.D.E.), Fred (Dehumanize) et Chris (Metal Militia) dont le point commun principal est de se faire plaisir en jouant la musique qu'ils aiment, à savoir le "death-metal" du début, celui de la fin des années 80 / début 90, qu'on pourrait qualifier aujourd'hui de "old school". VOORHEES ne révolutionne rien, n'innove en rien, n'est original en rien, n'a aucune prétention musicale sauf celle de jouer ce "old school death-metal" que des groupes comme DEATH, OBITUARY, MORBID ANGEL ou autre ASPHYX (entre autres, car évidemment la liste est longue) ont contribué à faire connaître et évoluer pour qu'il devienne un style musical à part entière. "Old school" reste le maître-mot chez VOORHEES, du nom au visuel, en passant par les paroles, le logo, et bien évidemment la musique. On pourrait qualifier VOORHEES de groupe de "vieux" jouant de la musique de "vieux" pour les "vieux" mais on sait aujourd'hui que le "death-metal" touche plusieurs générations. On se limitera alors aux 2 premières caractéristiques.
