Void [LP] (Import)

Godsticks – Void [LP] (Import)

UK Heavy Rock Proggers Godsticks Return With The Long-Awaited New Studio Album ‘Void’. Presented On Pearl Sunrise Vinyl LP. ‘VOiD’ is Godsticks’ darkest, heaviest & most uncompromising album to date. Both lyrically & musically, ‘VOiD’ reflects a disillusionment with a world increasingly defined by division, ideological rigidity, & the loss of nuance. The album documents a conscious withdrawal from the noise – a retreat into a personal void. Much of ‘VOiD’ is driven by frustration with the binary nature of modern discourse, where context & intent are routinely discarded in favour of winning arguments. The record rejects that environment entirely, choosing introspection over confrontation, & exploring Darran Charles’ (lyricist & vocals) balancing of misanthropy with optimism & isolation with connection. The writing process for ‘VOiD’ was exacting & often punishing, with songs repeatedly reworked in pursuit of emotional impact. Long-standing collaborators Tom Price & 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.
