Long time fans of the “Gothic Renaissance man with the Gypsy pirate band,” should be pleasantly surprised with Voltaire’s newest release, Ooky Spooky, as he and his band stretch their music style and the limits of “good taste” for an full-length album laughing about cannibalism, Star Wars buggery, zombie prostitutes, marriage and, of course, death.  The music ventures to a new realm of more South Pacific and Latin sounds that showcase the extensive talent of the musicians and Voltaire reveals a blue comic streak in shockingly funny lyrics.
