Review Summary: Instrumental metal that doesn’t put you to sleep. Void is a death metal/metalcore/djent album. It’s also an instrumental album. Aside from two atmospheric tracks, the album is a nearly endless barrage of slammed drums and frantically shredded guitars. The tracks with riffs are entirely predictable. No dynamics, and no relent, with equally skillful musicians. The album favours the drummer. The constant use of double bass pedals and blast beats, combined with the drums loudness in the mix, puts them at forefront. The impressive display is similar to the band Rings of Saturn, which is high praise. I love how the drums sound, although the mix does take away some weight from the guitars. It’s not a huge problem, but it is a noticeable distraction, to not have cohesion.
As previously stated, there are two atmospheric tracks. One is a nice spacey, ambient track, and the other similar to a sci-fi movie soundtrack like TRON: Legacy or Oblivion. The only downside is that they don’t fit the album’s narrative. If they used some of that spacey ambience amidst the guitars they might have a more varied album, but Void really is a straightforward metal onslaught with negative personality points. It’s by no means a classic album, or one that particularly stands out, but it’s still an incredibly solid piece of heavy, instrumental music. It’s a fun time throughout, remaining an engaging listen from start to finish.
