Void Of Silence - Part Ways With Vocalist
Italian doom metallers Void Of Silence have parted ways with Alan Nemtheanga and are now looking for a new singer: "We are looking for a versatile, creative individual (man or woman) with high motivation and a capability of singing in different styles, from strong clean singing to all ranges of grunts, growls and shrieks. If you feel you might be the one, please send us your demo or email."
Void Of Silence explained its split with Alan Nemtheanga by saying in a statement, "Void Of Silence was forced to let Alan go to be able to continue. Alan's full-time engagement in Primordial increasingly prevented Void Of Silence from completing the brand new album, scheduled for Autumn 2009 on code666 "
Void Of Silence was founded in 1999 and has thus far released three full-length albums of "apocalyptic doom metal" and are currently signed to code666 Records, which released its latest album, "Human Antithesis", with worldwide critical acclaim in 2004.
