VOID OF SLEEP "The Abyss into which We All Have to Stare" CD

Format: Jewel Box CD

Style: Progressive Sludge Doom

Info: “The Abyss into which We All Have to Stare” is the fourth album from italian Progressive Sludge Lords Void of Sleep, a conscious dive into the abyss of the most extreme and desperate nihilism of our times. A dark descent into a fate that is becoming increasingly tangible—a journey into the psyche and the visceral terror of those who can no longer perceive a future, having lost all sense of truth and of their own actions. It portrays the decline of a narcissistic and selfish civilization that has lost respect for itself and for the world around it. Musically, working with synths from the very beginning for the first time allowed us to think more broadly and progressively about the songs, leading to a more personal and modern structural development of the entire stylistic concept—a significant step forward in the band’s evolution.
