Album Review: Void King – The Hidden Hymnal (Out Now)
From Indianapolis, Indiana, the stoner doom music group, VOID KING, is thrilled to unveil their eagerly awaited third album, The Hidden Hymnal. You can now access it across all key music streaming platforms, such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
Recorded by Carl Byers of Coffinworm at Clandestine Arts, mixed by Niko Albanese, and mastered by Dennis Pleckham of Bongripper, The Hidden Hymnal signifies a notable breakthrough for VOID KING. The band keeps evolving their unique sound and pushing the envelope in their genre.
The Hidden Hymnal presents six intense tracks, filled with grandiose riffs, booming rhythms, and eerie melodies. This album guides the listener on an exploration through the murkier facets of the human mind, unflinchingly dissecting themes of loss, grief, and redemption with raw emotional depth and unyielding honesty.
Jason Kindred, the lead singer, projects his soulful and potent vocals over the overwhelming sonicwall, rendering lyrics that are simultaneously lyrical and gut-wrenching. The relentless and powerful rhythmic backbone provided by drummer Derek Felix, bass guitarist Chris Carroll, and lead guitarist Tommy Miller propels the album forward with an inexorable force.
From the stirring kick-off track “Egg of the Sun” to the monumental, heavy-hitting finale “Drink In The Light,” The Hidden Hymnal stands as a monument to VOID KING‘s dedication to their artistry and their unflagging zeal for producing music that resonates deeply with their listeners’ hearts and souls.
The Hidden Hymnal represents the first of two forthcoming releases from VOID KING. While it is a conventional album with independent songs, its successor is slated to be a concept album. Both records will be individually released across all digital platforms, with a tangible version planned for future distribution.
Through The Hidden Hymnal, VOID KING reaffirms their formidable presence in the music scene. Their music is not confined to a genre; it’s an immersive experience that surpasses limits and forges a deep, personal connection with the audience.
I would highly recommend you go and check this album out for yourself.
