On October 17, 2025, VOICE released their new single, “God of Fire.” The song combines the best of ’90s metal with modern production (recorded in Poland, Ireland, and Norway), where a catchy chorus with extreme, chanted vocals intertwines with heavy, slower passages and frantic guitar solos.
The official lyric video for “God of Fire” premiered on YouTube the same day.
VOICE is a music project created by Daniel “Ludwass” Ludwiczak (LaNinia), who invited outstanding musicians from the Polish metal scene to collaborate.
VOICE MEMBER: Rafał Taracha – vocal (Tuff Enuff) Daniel „Ludwass” Ludwiczak – guitar (LaNinia) Tomasz „Magik” Osiński – guitar (Sweet Noise) Piotr „Anioł” Wącisz – bass (Corruption, Virgin Snatch) Piotr „Szp AI” Szpalik – drums (The Legacy, The Legend Of Rock Symphonic, Polish Metal Alliance)

Following the previously-released, first single “The Silence Of Prescience”, today, VOICE present us another thunderous track taken off their “Holy Or Damned”! About their new single “Schizo Dialogues”, Thommy Neuhierl (guitars/keyboards) tells us:
“This song is about people in the community who feel compelled to exercise power. Who are convinced that they were born to rule over others. Who are convinced that this power was given to them by dark forces to fulfill a supernatural mission. On the other hand, when they are alone and on their own, they fear the darkness, their own weaknesses and are consumed by doubt. This insecurity then drives them to become more and more extreme in their exercise of power, which ultimately ends in a spiral of violence and fear that engulfs them and the people around them.”
After their successful comeback in 2017 with the album “The Storm”, VOICE now return to their roots and present a multi-faceted new album, in which each song seamlessly flows into the next, while the arc of suspense is continuously maintained. This work undoubtedly belongs in the collection of every metalhead who appreciates catchy hook-lines, a well thought-out musical concept and an impressive production!
With “Holy Or Damned”, the band captures the essence of over 30 years of musical creativity. Particularly noteworthy are the guest musicians that VOICE has invited on this album: Guitarist Ragnar Zolberg (Sign, ex-Pain Of Salvation), Hans-Jürgen “Jäcki” Reznicek (Silly) and Fredy Adler. “Holy Or Damned” was mixed by Mirko Hoffmann and was mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde at Virtalähde Mastering; the album artwork was created by Thommy Neuhierl.
At a time when music is often only consumed in a rush and on the fly, VOICE encourages listeners to consciously take their time, because “Holy Or Damned” is more than just an album – it is a journey that should be experienced with all senses!

“You know it yourself, there are places or moments where you feel uncomfortable, and you don’t know why. You constantly have the urge to turn around or hear noises that make you feel insecure.”Thommy Neuhierl (guitars/keyboards) comments about the band’s new single.
“But there are also people who live in such a world all the time, limiting themselves more and more, and forgetting about real life because of all the fear. They are trapped in an illusory world of fears and lose contact with the people around them and a clear view of the everyday course of things in this world.”
The lyrics on the upcoming VOICE album deal with the highs and lows of human existence. They are about being loved and hated, and show how our view of the world can change in a matter of seconds.
