United Void's self-titled album is a hauntingly dark and atmospheric journey through the depths of despair. The band's blend of doom metal, post-metal, and black metal creates a sonic landscape that is both intense and mesmerizing.
The album opens with "The Upper Hand," a slow-burning track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The crushing riffs and haunting vocals create an oppressive atmosphere that is only intensified by the atmospheric interludes that follow.
Tracks like "Empty Space," "Infinite Regress," and "The Weight of Absence" showcase the band's ability to create a sense of tension and unease that is palpable. The use of dissonant chords, atmospheric soundscapes, and haunting vocals creates a sense of dread that is both unsettling and captivating.
The album's production is excellent, with each instrument being given its own space in the mix. The guitars are particularly impressive, with the riffs and solos cutting through the mix like a knife.
