This band is based in Netherlands and they have released only EP`s, compilation, splits, demos over the past 7 years. Never full album was out, until now. Those are my thoughts on Zero Void Nullified if you dare to continue your reading...
First of all, the album has very harsh production, mainly black metal approach on guitars and mostly on vocal parts which are subtly distorted. Drums are quite surprise because they sounds mechanical, very none organic even if there is a living person in their line-up that handles percussion. It sounds very industrial, dehumanized. Like it was programmed by the computer, not played by human being which I do not know if it`s true because I am not a musician or studio producer to verify facts about live-drumming or not on this record. However, conventional black metal they do makes huge impact in connection to those industrial-like beats and pieces.
Lyrical topics are about extinction of humanity, senselessness of life on earth, who we are, where we come from, where we go to and basically, that everything should be erased and destroyed. Maximum pessimistic stuff overall but who would not appreciate a little nemesis that cleanse out the evil alter ego for sake to feel good for yourself, right?
I have to tell you the longer this record lasts the more industrial, techno-electronic it becomes along the metal which is always present, of course. Even vocals are more experimental and noisy than it was in the beginning of the album. So, no worries about diversity of the songs as they handle this matter pretty well.
And have to tell you ending up this review... This record is imperfect the way it sounds and has apocalyptic-suicidal word patterns that brings nothing new to the genres by any meaning. But I enjoy it, I like it for what it is and appreciate the band for what they do with their armageddon metal.
