A five-track journey that symbolizes passing through a forest, The Absence of Void begins in a hopeful way and becomes darker as the harsh reality of nature is revealed. With no other option, we learn to accept the way Nature behaves, and thus, we ascend, reaching a greater understanding, which marks the end of the journey.
Portrayed through oft-blistering, even-more-often beautiful black metal, Nevoa's The Absence of Void is therefore aptly titled, and a brilliant beginning to what's set to be an illuminating canon.
