Mississippi Supercult's "Hoodoo Star" is a firestorm of heavy blues rock that smolders with the soul of a classic age while striking with contemporary, bone-rattling heft. The fifth track on the band's debut EP, "Hoodoo Star," requires your blood to your breath as its gritty, insistent riffs pull you in grimy grooves, and its moon-well-chanted chorus sticks like a spell cast under a full moon.
Mississippi Supercult wants you to understand that these guys are religious about rock and roll. Its opening riff growls like a beast unleashed, dripping fuzz and attitude, while a rhythm-section force that feels like a freight train at full throttle drives the way. But it's in the chorus where "Hoodoo Star" starts to show its actual spine, a mesmerizing, anthem-like hook that lingers way after the song is done, one of those choruses that feel both damn familiar and urgent, like a rediscovered artifact from rock's golden era.
There is something undeniably magical about how Mississippi Supercult marries vintage blues swagger with an unmistakable sense of modern intensity. You can hear the influence of heavies , those who built rock-bottom up, but the band never relies on nostalgia alone. Instead, they dip into the DNA of classic rock but infuse it with their raw energy, creating music that feels alive, urgent, and utterly essential in contemporary music.
"Hoodoo Star" is a bluesy, riff-centric proof of rock music's staying power. Whether you're a card-carrying devotee of the classics or a bootlicker craving something that registers as the actual music, Mississippi Supercult provides a new track that's meant to be turned up to maximum, ideally while the windows are down. The rest of the world is thousands of miles away. So turn it up. Feel the weight of that riff. Let the chorus take hold. Mississippi Supercult has arrived, and "Hoodoo Star" is a track that makes you want to believe in rock and roll again.
