Predatory Void

Predatory Void to debut with 'Seven Keys to the Discomfort of Being' in April

Belgian sludge/doom metal band Predatory Void will release their debut album, 'Seven Keys to the Discomfort of Being', on April 21st, 2023.

Predatory Void started shaping up when Lennart Bossu (Amenra, Oathbreaker) found himself writing material that wasn't really suited for Amenra. Since Oathbreaker are taking a prolonged break he felt he needed a new musical outlet. He gathered a group of like-minded people living in the area of Ghent including the versatile vocalist and tattoo artist Lina R. The band played their first show at the renowned Soulcrusher Festival (NL) alongside bands such as Ihsahn, Envy, Cave In and Heriot which already created a buzz in the scene. More shows are already confirmed including supports for Amenra and Alcatratz Festival (BE). Stay tuned and witness how Predatory Void unfolds.

The band commented: "We feel privileged to be granted the opportunity to present our debut album, 'Seven Keys to the Discomfort of Being', in its entirety at Roadburn, one of the institutions that set the standard in the world of underground heavy music. The album contains some things that will be difficult to recreate live elsewhere, so this will definitely be a unique occasion. It will also be one of our very first live shows ever, so we can't imagine a better and more exciting start for a new band."

Track listing:
1. Grovel
2. *(struggling..)
3. Endless Return to the Kingdom of Sleep
4. Seeds of Frustration
5. The Well Within
6. Shedding Weathered Skin
7. Funerary Vision

Predatory Void commented about 'Endless Return to the Kingdom of Sleep' as follows: "A gradual descent into a realm of nightmares, where sleep paralysis and hallucinations caused by sleep deprivation awaken subconscious fears and vulnerabilities buried deep within."
