Void Of Sleep The Abyss Into Which We All Have To Stare

a cosmic amalgam of progressive sludge rock where epic rhythms melt into bottom-heavy doom breakdowns, complex time-signatures, and psychedelia

Forged in Ravenna, Italy, in 2010, VOID OF SLEEP - guitarist Gale, vocalist/guitarist Burdo, drummer Allo and bassist Paso - conjure a cosmic amalgam of progressive sludge rock where epic rhythms melts into bottom heavy doom breakdowns, complex time signatures and psychedelia. Following a three-song promo EP, Giants & Killers, which garnered the attention of Italian imprint, Aural Music, the band released their full-length debut, Tales Between Reality And Madness, in 2013. Crowned, "adventurous, intelligent and refreshingly addictive," by Teeth Of The Divine, and an, "underground gem worth discovering" by Metal Underground, the record proved wholly engrossing both sonically and thematically with lyrics exploring the darkest corners of the human psyche, oneiric visions and lysergic nightmares. With New World Order, released in late 2015, VOID OF SLEEP continues their multi-faceted, audio journey towards oblivion, featuring a new sound more complex, more sludgy but even more melodic and more progressive. The seven track concept album was captured by bassist Riccardo Pasini (Ephel Duath, The Secret) at Studio73 in Ravenna, Italy and mastered by Collin Jordan (Eyehategod, Indian, Wovenhand, Voivod etc.) at The Boiler Room in Chicago, Illinois. Reaping the approval of fans and critics both stateside and abroad, New World Order landed at the #12 position on MetalSucks' Top 15 of 2015. Dead Rhetoric hailed a record that fell, "somewhere in the netherworlds of sludgy doom, proggy doom, and occult doom," Outlaws Of The Sun warned, "embrace the darkness as New World Order is a stunning record", while Metal Temple, in an 8/10 score, called New World Order, "simply captivating", the album was also included in different charts among the best albums of 2015 in several webzines and magazines, like MetalSucks or Metallus.
