Voidward to release new album »Occult Symmetry« on February 21st, 2025 through Clearly Records!

The Obelisk premiere’s the brand new track »Light Rider« today!

“»Light Rider« tells its story in start-stop declarations drawing from and mellowing-out classic metal with a gentle push of groove in the chorus. There’s plenty of presence, no shortage of tonal weight, but »Light Rider« could just as easily be named for the fashion in which it carries its hook across to the listener.” – The Obelisk

Listen to the premiere of »Light Rider« on The Obelisk!

»Occult Symmetry« is a fully realized composition, divided into two movements: »Light Rider« and »Dark Miracle«. »Light Rider« and »Dark Miracle« are two entities engaged in a timeless orbit throughout existence, forever compelled and eternally repulsed by the same desire: Completion in the presence of one another. The Void Cycle is an epic poem describing the culmination of The Void as we know it in the separation of »Light Rider« and »Dark Miracle«. »Occult Symmetry« is the prelude to »The Void Cycle«.

The Void is heavy, both as a concept and an entity. Voidward is the only way we can experience that heaviness in our current state of consciousness. Sound is the only medium we have access to that, like The Void, is both physical and metaphysical.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Nick Petersen at Track and Field Recording.
