Europen psychobilly act MadSin has announced that they will be parting ways with guitarist Matt VooDoo after his decision to appear on ‘The Voice.’  The band explains:

“Matt surprised all of us with the news, that he auditioned in the German TV-Castingshow “The Voice Of Germany” and that his performance also most likely would be aired. Needless to say, any kind of such TV programs clash hardly with the self-conception of MAD SIN, to anyone who knows and follows us this is absolutely clear.

We create and play the music we like, and the way we like it, and refuse to be reprimanded by any sort of jury, no matter who may be part of that.

Of course we wouldn’t (and couldn’t) want to dictate Matt what to do and what he shouldn’t. His decision to take part in this kind of TV format is one thing. But NOT to include his Band into his plans of pursuing this, just in order to get an opinion, and how to keep the band out of it, is something else.”

 The band last released the album 25 Years – Still Mad, this past October via People Like You Records.
