"The general discontent in the world at the moment is so widespread, we get told to embrace it because that's life," says Fabrizio Grossi. "No, that's not life," he asserts. "It's how we're forced to live nowadays. Voodoo Nation refers to the times we're living in, at least here in the States, but I guess the whole world can relate. We're getting to the point where we're living out life almost as Zombies. We're little machines."

But there is hope. There is always hope, which is what Supersonic Blues Machine has always been about.
Voodoo Nation is the band's third studio album and fourth in total and will be released on 24 June via Provogue /Mascot Label Group.

The seeds of Supersonic Blues Machine began in 2010 and grew from the rhythm section of Steve Lukather's side project jam band Goodfellas - bassist Fabrizio Grossi and drumming legend Kenny Aronoff. The pair wanted to continue expanding the Goodfellas concept, determined to create something more than just a "session ensemble for hire."

When ZZ Top's Billy F Gibbons contacted Grossi to collaborate on the writing/producing of a song for an upcoming commercial, all pieces came together. The music didn't become a commercial but had Gibbons giving Fabrizio the suggestion to write "9 more songs" and start a band. That song was "Running Whiskey" and became the first single of Supersonic Blues Machine's 2016s debut album West of Flushing, South of Frisco.


They have continuously operated as a band of comrades and kindred spirits. "The stretched Cadillac of a blues band" has a revolving line-up of star-studded guests, including Billy F. Gibbons, Steve Lukather, Warren Haynes, Eric Gales, Robben Ford, Chris Duarte and more.

At the core has always been Fabrizio Grossi, who has worked with some of the finest musicians around, including Steve Vai, Alice Cooper, George Clinton, Eric Gales, Slash, to name a few and Kenny Aronoff, whose credits include; John Mellencamp, Smashing Pumpkins, Meat Loaf, Brandon Flowers, John Fogerty, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Joe Cocker. Over 300 million records sold worldwide feature his work – 1,300 of which are certified gold, platinum, or diamond records.

British rocker Kris Barras replaced Texan Lance Lopez as singer-guitarist for their 2018 tour, documented on Road Chronicles: Live and cements his place on Voodoo Nation. Barras has a recent UK Top 30 album chart hit in March himself, and he is leading the pack of the British hard rock revival with several A-list singles, BBC Radio appearances and sell-out shows.
