Sounds of the Void: January 2023

  • Jim Keel
  • 02/02/2023

Usually, January is a throwaway year when it comes to new releases in any genre of music for that matter. I think the sweet spot for releasing new albums are usually see the heavy hitters start releasing during late spring, summer, or early Autumn.…

Sounds of the Void Presents: The Top 25 EPs and Demos of 2022

  • Jim Keel
  • 12/08/2022

EPs and Demos are a criminally overlooked style of release that showcases some incredible works that a band often times uses to kickstart a new sound, a new project, or just is trying to get their name out there.

My first metal show and why I want an apology

  • Nick La Rosa
  • 10/02/2022

I’m fairly versed in “music”. I can tell a nice diddy when I hear it and actively listen to music when I do stuff like driving, chores, or other things. Not to toot my own brass horn or anything but I have a pretty sophisticated listening palette as I primarily listen only to the best of the Top 40 tracks of the week, so you can say I’m a connoisseur.…

Sounds of the Void: June 2022

  • 07/13/2022

     When I was in high school, and to this day, I have never felt like I fit in with a specific crowd related to music. I have always liked a little bit of everything, from the deepest of absolute soul-crushingly brutal death metal to the bleakness of DSBM.…

Can you believe we are already in May? Time is a sonofabitch. 

Before we get to the topic at hand I would like to say a quick word about the passing of a man named Klaus Shulze. If you don’t know the name it’s understandable but you should.…
