Void Universe is a masterful offering and one that I think underground devotees are going to eagerly be coming back too time and time again. Tracks like "The Cosmic Breakdown" act as perfect high powered fusions of classic rock and black metal, with tremolo guitars and frostbitten tones colliding into flashy solos and bluesy double stops. The end result can be a bit disorienting, but the black 'n roll elements that keep this band bloodthirsty and exciting are exactly the sort of thing to fascinate underground devotees.
