Church of Void - Dead Rising (CD)

Self described as new wave of classic doom metal, Church of Void wears their influences proudly on both sleeves and cites their sound as deeply affected by classics such as Saint Vitus, Black Sabbath and Pentagram, but one can also hear overtones of Scandinavian downer rock in the vein of Mana Mana and Babylon Whores here and there. Thematically the band steers away from the popular occult current and focuses on levels of the human condition instead. "We write our material both as individuals and as a group, and most of it draws inspiration from archaic human instincts, needs and emotions", comments Corvus.
