Review Summary: ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY GROOVE

Void Column are a death/doom band coming out of Quebec, Canada. The band have a few demos under their belt and have come again with an EP featuring 16 minutes of murky, doomy debauchery. Masters in the art of guitar based hypnotism, Admonition of Clarity proves to be a killer time that will leave you confused and quacking like a Lovecraftian chicken.

The thing that jumps out automatically is the insanely thick, bogged out guitar tone. The presence of nastiness is profound to say the least. These guys dish out some wicked grooves. The one that demolishes the close of opener "Mortal Damnation" is quite a doozy. "Pillars of Nothingness" sinks it's claws into you with a stupidly catchy, hypnotic riff. "Thanatophobia" gives a nice little synth interlude also, as if the superb riffage wasn't enough to keep things interesting. The content here is fairly primitive but it appeals to the needs of my lizard brain that craves little else aside from some knuckle dragging fun.

Overall Admonition of Clarity leaves quite the impact despite it's extremely short runtime. 16 minutes was not nearly enough to satisfy my hunger for the goods that Void Column dish out. Those who like their death metal gross and spooky will be pleased with this one. It's become clear over the past few years that anyone playing extreme metal with the word "Void" anywhere near their name are more than likely going to slay you in some beautifully grotesque fashion. This is definitely a band to keep an eye on for whenever they concoct a gooey full length for the masses. There's no doubt in my mind that whenever it comes it will be strong because I could easily see myself jamming something three times this length from them and enjoying every minute of it. JAM IT DAMMIT!

You can't bug the void! Nice!

Hope you dig it NoTrap! And they'll definitely keep coming! I've already started on one that's a real dissonant gem that dropped recently, got some coming up for some classics also. Been having fun writing and trying to find new stuff lately. I also just got the Bandcamp app for the first time and I've been having a field day finding loads of new stuff on there

can't take the band seriously if their logo looks like circa 2010 deathcore and they play finndeath kek

The logo told me to tell you that you look like a circa 2008 scene kid and it doesn't understand why you won't take it seriously. It said you must have pulled your skinny jeans on too tight this morning. I'm just the messenger tho. Personally I found it offensive
