Voodoo Gods is a death metal super-group founded in America with a roster of international musicians. Most of the lyrics deals with the themes of Voodoism, Anti-Christianity and Spirits of the Nature when musically the band states themselves playing METAL with major influences coming from the areas of death and thrash metal which in the hands of Voodoo Gods is delivered as an expression of spirituality and the connection with divinity and the spirit world.

Voodoo Gods were founded in 2001 under the name Shrunked Head at Tampa, Florida, USA by Alex "Voodoo" Von Poschinger, Tony Norman and Seth Van De Loo. In early 2006 Hiro (who had played with such bands as: Dies Irae, Sceptic, Decapitated, and Virgin Snatch) joined Voodoo Gods on guitars and Nergal (Behemoth) on vocals.

In 2007 bass guru Jean Baudin (known for Nuclear Rabbits and Element of Surprise), Mike Browning (ex-Morbid Angel, ex-Nocturnus, ex-Acheron.) and guitar legend David Shred Demon Shankle (ex-Manowar, David Shankle Band) on lead guitars joined the band. By the time the band had worked for a long time their songs in different continents and finally in the year 2008 the EP titled 'Shrunken Head' was first released.

In 2014 Voodoo Gods was joined by legendary George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher (Cannibal Corpse) to replace Nergal in vocals who had to leave the band due to busy schedule with Behemoth. With Corpsegrinder, Voodoo Gods finished the recordings of the band's debut album at the Andy LaRocque's (King Diamond) Sonic Train Studios at Varberg, Sweden.

In spring 2014 Voodoo Gods signed to Saturnal Records (excl. North America, Japan & Poland) to release the band's debut album titled 'Anticipation for Blood Leveled in Darkness'.
