Murky death metal.

Through the tempestuous and suffocating chaos of the void emerges a dual-tongued spectre of dread, as the enigmatic Dead Void unleash their mercurial visions of the deepest, darkest depths of psychological terror, inner torment and heavy, warped and wild Death Metal upon those who will bear witness.

Dead Void has worked in obscurity under the surface for nearly a decade, crafting their unique sound from their own obscure blueprint, eschewing norms and creating Death Metal at its darkest and most heavy and weird. Following a many-times reprinted and sold out demo tape in 2018, the band’s debut album, Volatile Forms, was released in 2022 on Dark Descent Records and Me Saco un Ojo Records, quickly making an impact in the underground press with its unique, unrestrained and unpredictable sound.

Manifesting in current times as a two-piece, this bicephalous form of the arcane and shapeshifting entity that is Dead Void brings extra wildness and intensity while simultaneously being heavier than ever.

Brace yourself for further forays into Cranial Devastation this spring, as the band now finalises their new album scheduled for release before their performance at Maryland Deathfest.

“Volatile Forms is the heaviest album I’ve heard this year… the album resides completely in a world of Dead Void’s making. And there’s something almost indescribably special about that world.” – yourlastrites

“Unpredictable and shapeless, like a formless cavern with no exit” -metalutopia

“A bleak, liminal portrayal of conjuration and merciless aggression resultant ‘Volatile Forms‘ is likely to end up the, or among the, heaviest death metal records released in 2022.” -grizzlybutts

“This music crawls below the surface of your skin, festering, rotting you from the inside out… A sadistic listen that will penalise surface-fan culture and reward true maniacs seeking the diabolical and dark arts of Death Metal.” -nattskog

“Dead Void’s got enough songwriting chops to open a Burt Bacharach-themed steakhouse.” -yourlastrites

AN NCS INTERVIEW: DEAD VOID

Temple of Void is an uncompromising collaboration from the depths of Detroit. Comprising of five musicians who have put in decades of time in the Detroit underground, ToV entered this world with singular focus and methodical execution from the start. ToV harkens back to the somber sound of early British doom, while channeling the energy and devastation of old school American death metal. But ToV is far more than the sum of its parts. Temple of Void destroys.

Temple of Void self-released their demo in May 2013. Four weeks later and they had signed to four different record labels to produce and distribute their demo across the world. The demo was met with staggering support from the underground. And now, just over a year later and ToV is unleashing their debut album on double LP and cassette on Saw Her Ghost Records, as well as on CD through Rain Without End Records. This slab of barbarity is titled, “Of Terror and the Supernatural.”
In support of the album ToV recruited director William Saunders from NY to produce a music video for their song, “Savage Howl.”
Furthermore, once the album was cut ToV hit the studio again to record
“Os Abysmi Vel Daath” for the Morbid Tales book and 12” compilation by Mark Rudolph. Both sessions were primarily tracked by Clyde Wilson at Mt. Doom Studio. Additional tracking for the album was cut by Mark Hudson at Audiolux Studio, it was mixed by Todd Konecny at Bright White Light Studio, and finally mastered by Tony Hamera. Artwork was provided by the legendary fantasy artist Bruce Pennington. But this is only the beginning for Temple of Void. There are many heads still to decapitate, and many cities yet to burn.

Birthed in contempt, MMXVII.
