Release : CD

The tenth anniversary of The Void is celebrated with their new album “Vision Of The Truth” and a new record deal with the Italian label My Kingdom Music. This combo is mostly inspired by bands like Moonspell, Tiamat and Paradise Lost. And this dedication you can definitely heard in the opus of this three-headed Italian dark metal band. Vocalist Diego has no problem whatsoever to prove himself in the abundance of dark doom atmospheres and the aggression of heavy modern gothic rock. He possesses a wide and varied collection of different singing styles: rough singing, clear clean vocals, grunts and massive dark voices fill up this album with an eminent persuasion. There's not much persuasive power left to prove that this band offers a lot of possibilities for the future. With this debut album The Void make clear how good they are but the gentlemen have to watch out for not going too fast and exceeding the borders of their capabilities. The production of this tragic metal could be better. I hope this band will be able to leave the underground and turn into a well appreciated dark metal formation. They must try to reach that a higher level otherwise this band will not manage to survive in this metal world.

Points: 60/100
