Psychotic Waltz's 'The God-Shaped Void', originally released on February 14, 2020, stands as the band's fifth studio album, showcasing their evolution and mastery of their craft. Now, in a stunning re-release on Construction Records, this vinyl edition includes liner notes by bass player Ward Evans, which were not present on the original release, which provides insight into the story behind and the creation of the songs. Pressed on a 180-gram double vinyl, the Bloody Mary variant features transparent red, solid white, and black hues, while the Vortex Purple variant showcases purple, white, and black hues, both housed in a gatefold sleeve and printed inner sleeves including lyrics. As described by Progwereld (NL), The band immediately grabs you by the throat and only lets you go after the last sounds of In The Silence. This is an album where the cliché that there isn't a bad song on it absolutely applies. And Kerrang! (UK) wrote, A cult concern they may remain, but this simply means Psychotic Waltz are a prog-metal gem waiting to be discovered. While Metal Hammer (Greece) and Deaf Forever (Ger) both named the album 'Album Of The Month'. In an era dominated by digital music consumption, this vinyl re-release serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music in its purest form. There is something about vinyl records that brings me back to the very beginning of my musical journey. Something about holding the record cover in your hands... something about the way that the music takes up physical space that gives it the value that digital downloads just can't do. When I put the needle on a record that i helped create makes me so proud. So fulfilled. So connected to where it all began for me. I only hope that someone else who puts this record on feels in any way how I felt when i put on a record in my bedroom. I want to thank Construction Records for keeping this most beautiful and valuable tradition alive. Devon Graves, Psychotic Waltz
