Official press release:
Metal Blade Records is proud to announce the addition of Lafayette, Louisiana thrashers, Void, to their prestigious roster. The band comments:
“Metal Blade has been a cornerstone for heavy metal for decades. So joining the roster is an absolute honor and we feel right at home. We are sharpening the fangs for our most vicious material yet. It’s about to get bloody.”
To commemorate the signing, the band has released a limited-edition Metal Blade “Signed In Blood” merch drop, available HERE. Each order comes with a signed 8×10 print, while supplies last.
Forged in 2019 by vocalist Jackson Davenport, Void is a haunted, technically sharp thrash/heavy metal force. Blending razor-edged aggression with eerie atmosphere and narrative ambition, Void stands at the crossroads of classic thrash intensity and dark, theatrical heavy metal.
The band made its first major statement with their debut album Horrors of Reality in early 2023. The record introduced Void’s uncompromising sound – fast, intricate riffing, commanding vocals, and a sinister edge – and was followed by a relentless stretch of touring that hardened the band on the road and built a growing underground following.
That momentum led to Void signing with Shadow Kingdom Records in the Summer of 2024. Throughout late 2024 and 2025, the band focused their efforts on crafting their most ambitious work to date, Forbidden Morals, a full-length concept album centered on a lost traveler’s descent into the castle of Vlad The Impaler. Dark, cinematic, and technically ferocious, the album marked a turning point for the band placing Void firmly on the map and opening the door to larger tours and wider recognition.
Following the release of Forbidden Morals, Void became a sought-after presence on the road, sharing stages with genre legends and earning their place alongside some of thrash metal’s most respected names, including Dark Angel, Forbidden, Sacred Reich, and Exhorder as well as appearing at Hell’s Heroes, Blades Of Steel, and the Keep It True Festival. With a lineup locked in and a sound that balances precision, menace, and storytelling, Void continues to carve their path as one of the most compelling new voices in modern traditional metal.
