LOST TO THE VOID, a multifaceted death metal ensemble from California, recently announced their resounding return to the music scene with the release of their first single in over three years, 'Idyllic Dissension'. This new track serves as an introduction to their highly anticipated album, 'Embrace in Disgust', set to be distributed globally via Blood Blast Distribution on September 1.
Known for their refusal to be confined within specific sub-genres, LOST TO THE VOID merges influences from a broad spectrum of Metal, Hardcore, and Punk, to create a unique blend of technical precision, melodic groove, and hardcore elements. Their music caters to a diverse range of tastes within the heavy music community. This latest release is particularly poignant as it showcases the talents of their late guitarist Colin Gerlach, whose life was tragically cut short last year.
The forthcoming record was crafted amidst the global pandemic, and 'Idyllic Dissension' encapsulates the contradictions witnessed in political and religious debates across the nation during this period.
'Iyllic Dissension' is a musical powerhouse, capable of metaphorically leveling a city block with its potent intensity, yet it also shines with its intricate technicality. There's little left untapped as every aspect of the song is brimming with activity. The percussive drums and rapid bass lines establish a rich, low-end tone, while the explosive guitar riffs and diverse vocal styles dominate the track's higher ranges. From robust deathcore to progressive metal leanings, LOST TO THE VOID has a gift for evading narrow definitions and categories. The sonic experience culminates in a cataclysmic performance, mirrored visually by images of chaos, fire, and turmoil intercut with the band's own vigorous performance.
