Void - Dreams Of A Painted World - Reviewed By Occult Black Metal Zine ! check it out here at this link: http://occultblackmetalzine.blogspot.com/2021/01/voiddreams-of-painted-world20201-full.html

Void  are  a  solo  project  form  San  Antonio,  Texas  that  takes  an  atmospheric  and  depressive  style  of  post  black  metal  and  mixes  it  with  funeral  doom  metal  and  dark  ambient  and  this  is  a  review  of  his  self  released  2021  album  "Dreams  Of  A  Painted  World".

  Sounds  of  wind  start  off  the  album  before  going  into  a  very  fast  and  raw  musical  direction  which  also  utilizes  a  great  amount  of  tremolo  picking.  The  music  also  brings  in  elements  of  post  metal  while  the  synths  also  gives  the  music  more  of  an  atmospheric  feeling  when  they  are  utilized  and  the  solos  and  leads  are  also  done  in  a  very  melodic  style.

  All  of  the  musical  instruments  on  the  recording  also  have  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them  while  all  of  the  tracks  are  very  long  and  epic  in  length.  Throughout  the  recording  you  can  also  hear  a  decent  mixture  of  slow,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts  and  the  synths  also  add  in  some  dark  ambient  sections.

  Most  of  the  music  is  instrumental  along  with  some  clean  playing  also  being  added  into  some  parts  of  the  music  as  well  as  some  violins  and  samples  also  being  utilized  at  times.  Melodic  chants  can  also  be  heard  briefly  and  the  slower  sections  of  the  songs  also  add  in  the  heaviness  of  funeral  doom  metal,  the  music  also  has  it  depressive  moments  while  the  production  sounds  very  dark  and  raw. 

  In  my  opinion  Void  are  a  very  great  sounding  mixture  of  atmospheric  depressive  post  black,  funeral  doom  metal  and  fark  ambient  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  those  musical  genres,  you  should  check  out  this  solo  project.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Crossing  the  Mist"  and  "Death  Knell".  8  out  of  10. - Occult Black Metal Zine

Those who dwell in the Void discard their names and seek to pull out memories of other worlds from the inky blackness contained within.  Those memories are presented here in musical form so you may experience them.

Hailing from Texas, Void combines elements of ferocious black metal intensity, the plodding heaviness of funeral doom, and dreamlike atmospheres provided by dark ambient.
