Void

VOiDisGodsticks’ darkest, heaviest, and most uncompromising album to date.Reflecting a disillusionment with a world increasingly defined by division, ideological rigidity, and the loss of nuance, the album documents a conscious withdrawal from the noise - a retreat into a personal void."Metal as well as Rock, from the head as well from the heart."-Classic Rock DE“Their blend of indie-rock and alternative metal has emotion and depth.”-Buzz MagazineLimited Pearl Sunrise vinyl edition(all pre-orders come with a 3-track bonus CD, Nowhere To Be Seen).---------Much of VOiD is driven by frustration with the binary nature of modern discourse, where context and intent are routinely discarded in favour of winning arguments. The record rejects that environment entirely, choosing introspection over confrontation, and exploring Darran Charles’ (lyricist and vocals) balancing of misanthropy with optimism, and isolation with connection.The writing process for VOiD was exacting and often punishing, with songs repeatedly reworked in pursuit of emotional impact. Long-standing collaborators Tom Price and Gavin Bushell play a vital role throughout, while the introduction of new bassist Francis George - the band’s first line-up change in twelve years - brings a subtle but important shift in the overall feel of the rhythm section.
