Silent Abscission [LP]

The Silent Abscission, the 4th Inherits the Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Formed in 2020 by AS, Inherits the Void is a French project of atmospheric and melodic black metal, inspired by the frozen visions of Vinterland, the incantatory fury of Mis_yrming, and the melodic intensity of Dawn. Since it's inception, the project has explored the tension between melody and atmosphere, blending emotional intensity with celestial melancholy. Through several releases - Monolith of Light (2021), The Impending Fall of the Stars (2023), Scars of Yesteryears (2024), all released via Avantgarde Music - Inherits the Void has established itself as a singular voice within the modern French black metal scene. The Silent Abscission, the fourth Inherits the Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Conceived as a journey through eight visions, it moves between incantatory convulsions and silent abysses, leading to an inevitable and overwhelming resolution. Like the collision of celestial bodies, the music whirls, riffs lash, dissonances burn, and harmonies collapse into silence. A total black metal experience, where matter and spirit are consumed within the same incantation, standing at the frontier between despair and eternity. For this opus, AS surrounded himself with exceptional musicians, for the first time expanding Inherits the Void to a full recording lineup: Romain Negro (Apolaustic, ex-Stortregn) on vocals and Nicolas Müller (Akiavel, ex-Artefact, ex-Svart Crown) on drums give shape and power to this vision. The mastering was entrusted to Simon Da Silva at his The Empty Hall Studio, ensuring a sound both dense, dynamic, and abyssal.
