Old Fire - Voids - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2017 from this band led by the live basist/vocalist of Polish MGLA. Over the Voids was founded on one man's vision of a mid-nineties black metal revival. However, this work of art far transcends simple nostalgia or tributes paid to ages past; while many bands are content with leading an existence as living homages to other people's innovations, this solo project has an entirely different intensity to it's artistic fire. The musical and lyrical aspects along with their aesthetic representation are forged in synergy to ponder the riddles of mortality. Commanding the centre of attention is the distinctly mixed twin-guitars, acting much like a conductor's baton as they dictate where to bring the music and it's accompanying mood. The melodies are the focal point, merging the icy darkness of Transylvanian Hunger with the dreamy woodland landscapes of Bergtatt. Despite the catchy melodies, Over the Voids is more the type of music to which one would drift on some flight of the mind, rather than bang one's head. For fans of MGLA, Kriegsmaschine, early Ulver, early Satyricon, and early Emperor. Mixed and mastered by M. of MGLA.

The Empty - Made Of Fire [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/22/2021

Black Void is nihilistic aggression and desperation in the form of music. Furious and unrepentant in attitude, it builds on the philosophical works of Friedrich Nietzsche, burning with the filthy flame of punk and black metal. InchWhen it's impossible to find a starting point for knowledge, how can there be any kind of ethics? How can anyone argue that morality exists? How can we claim to know anything at all?Inch In the midst of this dirty metaphysical whirlwind stands vocalist and bass player Lars Are Nedland, longtime member of Borknagar and Solefald, and the driving force of melodic hard rock band White Void. Spearheading a trio completed by drummer Tobias Solbakk (Ihsahn, White Void, In Vain) and guitarist Jostein Thomassen (Borknagar, Profane Burial), he sets the stage for Black Void to be everything that White Void is not Monochrome, nihilistic, filthy, violent and raw. Black Void, then, is the flipside of White Void A full-on rejection of the philosophy of Albert Camus, a fullon rejection of a soft, melodic approach in music and a full-on rejection of a playful, tongue-in-cheek attitude. Black Void has the sensitivity of a buzz-saw and the light-heartedness of a funeral agent. With that as a backdrop, InchAntithesisInch becomes an album that pays respect to fifty years of punk and forty years of black metal, sounding like a punk with a mohawk fighting a dude in corpsepaint as it races along. Add to that guest vocal appearances by black metal royalties Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ and Hoest of Taake, InchAntithesisInch appears as a statement of sorts A nihilistic musical outburst flipping off morality and hailing aggression while at the same time forcing your foot to tap to it's relentless drive. It's all in the black and white. TRACKLISTING 1 Void 2 Reject Everything 3 Death to Morality 4 Tenebrism of Life 5 No Right, No Wrong 6 It's not Surgery, it's a Kn
