VOID VATOR
Void Vator is a hard rock/heavy metal band based out of Los Angeles, CA. The band describes it’s sound as “Riffs, Hooks and Leads”. After years of turmoil, the band truly took form when founding members Lucas Kanopa (guitar/vocals) and ex-White Wizzard/Gypsyhawk guitarist Erik Kluiber joined forces with Lucas’s childhood friend German Moura on drums and Sam Harman on bass. Piecing together their debut EP, Dehumanized with Grammy nominated hard rock producer Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Deftones, Metalocalypse) and releasing on his WURMgroup label in July of 2017, the band had the world at their feet.
Hitting the road hard and often after having teamed up with Hiwattage Booking (now Atomic Music Group) in summer 2018 the band purchased their own van, driven by a desire for even more. Within a year they had racked up 4 tours, starting to firmly establish their presence as scene newcomers who could go for the throat.
Building their live approach on hard hitting rock and roll riffage rather than the stoned vibes of many of their peers, Void Vator have quickly developed a reputation as a take-no-prisoners live act. Highlights of 2019 were touring with Haunt and a West Coast jaunt with underground legends Slough Feg. Void Vator also passed the test on KLOS Los Angeles’s massive “Stay or Go” radio show. The band was unanimously voted to “Stay” by guest judges from the rock band Dirty Honey, the radio hosts, and all the call in listeners. This wouldn’t be a big deal, except that it’s never been done before.
With hardly a moment to breathe, Void Vator recently dove back into the studio with world renowned producer Bill Metoyer (Slayer, DRI, Bodycount) in North Hollywood to record the 8 song LP Stranded released by Ripple Music on November 22nd 2019. Eager to once more take to the wicked ways of the road, Void Vator is currently booking a Spring tour for 2020. Determined to take the world by storm and driving to ever more twisted heights, Void Vator are balls out rock and roll and they are here to stay.
