A grandiose Hard Rock project conceived by ex PLASMATICS / DISCIPLES OF SOUL bassist Jean Beauvoir, VOODOO X brought together American and German musicians in a group based both in Berlin and New York. World domination was the masterplan, but despite a large budget and an album co-roduced by Max Norman and Jean Beauvoir himself VOODOO X barely left the launch pad.

Beauvoir and guitarist Tommy Lafferty had previously worked together on a projected post PLASMATICS solo album from Beauvoir before forming the ill-fated KING FLUX with ex PLASMATICS men Richie Stotts and Tony Petri. This group never went beyond the demo stage.

At least VOODOO X got as far as releasing an album, which included the track 'A Lover Like You', co-written by KISS' PAUL STANLEY and Jean Beauvoir, later covered by former 'Neighbours' actor CRAIG McLACHLAN on the Australian's debut solo album. Beauvoir had previously written material with Stanley for use by KISS.

Breaking up the group, Beauvoir and Lafferty returned to the States. The latter would join the AOR band FROM THE FIRE in New York. Beauvoir relocated to Los Angeles where he would form CROWN OF THORNS with ex SHALAMAR guitarist MICKI FREE and erstwhile CHIC and POWERSTATION drummer Tony Thompson. Despite a few false starts, CROWN OF THORNS would manage to achieve a firm following worldwide even without the backing of a major label.

VOODOO X's album would be re-issued through Now And Then Records with bonus material in 1995.
