Voltax

Voltax formed in London in the early 2000s, releasing their debut album 'Defiance' independently in 2005. The record found an audience with tracks like 'Strong Like the Fire,' which became something of an anthem for listeners who felt disconnected from mainstream rock at the time.

They followed up with albums like 'Reclamation' in 2007 and 'Revolution' in 2010, eventually signing with a major label. Their live shows were known for their raw energy, though their confrontational lyrics and stance against certain societal norms sometimes drew criticism and kept them in the headlines.

Songs like '(Blackbeard) Wild of the Sea' and 'Lord Of The Sluts' showed their tendency to blend heavy rock with provocative themes. They developed a cult following that appreciated their unpolished sound and willingness to challenge conventions, even when it meant alienating more traditional parts of the industry.
