Style: doom metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: What an incredibly massive album, overwhelmingly powerful
Thoughts: I've been following Void of Silence for many years. I first got into them with Human Antithesis because of A.A. Nemtheanga's involvement in the project. I stayed curious in the band with Grave of Civilization but that album did not get me nearly as excited as Human Antithesis did. Many years later I heard that The Sky Over had released. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it certainly wasn't this.
The Sky Over is anything but a normal album. The songs are long and incredibly epic. The melodies are massive continue to grow in intensity over the songs sometimes 15+ minute run times. The vocals are the other added layer that were never such a large factor previously. They soar above the massive riffs like The Sky Over a massive ocean. Between them and the melodies that permeate every moment you have the makings of an extraordinary album.
The thing that I love so much about Void of Silence at this point. They just don't know when to stop escalating a song. A lot of times when a band don't know when to quit they end up ruining the song, not so here. These songs are continuously improved by the layer upon layer of riffs, melodies and vocals. Incredible album, easily the bands best.
