Noctis Une découverte incroybale pour moi! Le temps s'arrête dès que la musique embarque. J'aime tout simplement l'énergie dégagée par la lourdeur des riffs et les vocals caverneux. Très peu nombreux sont les groupes de Blackened Doom au Québec. Je vous lève mon chapeau! Favorite track: Where The Fear Has Gone, There Will Be Nothing.

''MMXVIII'' STREAMING ON CVLT NATION RIGHT NOW:
www.cvltnation.com/a-whirlwind-of-sonic-violence-flesh-voidsmmxviii/

Since the solidification of their line-up in November 2017, FLESH/VOID has been toiling away on what was bound to become their first release. Simply titled MMXVIII, it sees the band deliver a crushing 3-track demo of eclectic doom metal.

Spanning a little over 35 minutes, MMXVIII sees the Montreal band vacillate between funeral doom, black metal and soundtrack / drone influences without ever toning down its menacing and tortured vocals or punishing, heavy riffs - except for prolonged & spacey instrumental intros and outros. What transpires is a brutal awakening, a gust of wind that slowly evolves into a celestial whirlwind of sonic violence.

Lyrically, the band questions the place of a prideful, arrogant humanity within the infinite expanse of the universe through short and evocative texts that contrast sharply with the lengthy bludgeoning of the instrumentation.

On Kardashev Zero, humanity looks to the stars and sees their brittleness shaken by the cold and uncaring void. It ponders the idea that space exploration is futile and progress is an illusion; that only through our unrivaled arrogance do we come to believe our place is among the stars or that we can escape the fatality of entropy.

On Forlorn Voyager, a lone space explorer feels dissociated from their species after a slow descent into madness through time and distance. They contemplate death as a welcome release from their isolation.

On closer Where The Fear Has Gone, There Will Be Nothing, the band seems to briefly suggest a false sense of hope – a hope that from the ashes of a failed civilization a better one can arise. This hope is nothing but a consuming fire, the flames that would allow the human race to get past the great filter and ascend to Kardashev One. Alas, such a sentiment is only for those who fear, and fear destroys everything. The universe came into existence devoid of man; much the same could be said for when it will cease to exist.
