0.0 | Futures | September 4th 16 | Track 7: Sick To The Spine. The most angry song on the album, and heavily inspired by "Bitches Brew" by Crosses and "You Make Me Sick" by Of Mice and Men. This song is the only song where screams dominate, and is the only song that draws from my metalcore influence. Focusing on grooving riffs and high shrieks combined with deep growling style vocals. This song's a manifestation of how my brain feels when my anxiety gets to a point where it turns into anger, the feeling of everything around me heating up to almost unbearable temperatures, the urge to slam my head and fists into any wall or door that's nearby. I rarely get this angry, but when I do, I have to wrap my hands in towels so that I don't do too much damage to the walls.r

2.5 average | zaruyache | September 22nd 16 | A lot of awkward songwriting. Random guitars and other synthesized instruments pop in and out at
will, songs never really seem to work toward any crescendo or climactic shifts. It's OK if you
just want aesthetically pleasing, vaguely atmospheric, vaguely melodic noise in the background,
but even then all of the stylistic shifts between songs don't work to create one solid style of
atmosphere, either. It's kinda just "whatever" the whole way through; a lot of ideas and very
little cohesion. Black Malachite has figured out how to produce music with good production and
believable synthesized instrumentation, but now he just has to figure out how to actually write
music, and what exactly he wants that music to *be*.
It's melodic and aesthetically pleasing enough to warrant decent marks, but the crudeness of
songwriting really should detract from it a little more. I just really like shallow ambient piano
junk, so my opinion is fairly biased.

3.0 good | Fiddy; local potato, atonality advocate, and salsa enthusiast | September 21st 16 | Black Malachite's newest effort is a personal, ambitious outing. The songs are more passive and heartfelt then
on his other records; however, they do suffer from excessive passiveness at times. There are very little standout
tracks in the beginning and middle of the album, but the last third is definitely a highlight. The artists finally lets go
and makes very personal and evolving tracks that fail not engage the listener. This shows that the personal
aspect of the album is extremely effective when moderated by instrumentation and musical evolvement.
Overall, I'd say Void is a serious yet enjoyable record that (unfortunately) suffers from the overuse of intimacy
and passiveness. There is some great material on the record but it's unfortunate Black Malachite doesn't
exercise it more. Strong 3/5.
