Void Sector Zero, a new technical thrash project made up of veteran extreme-metal players, released their first single "Vortex Divinium" alongside an official music video. The clip was filmed and directed by Jesus Hernandez. The band also confirmed a record deal with Season Of Mist and set December 11 as the release date for their debut album Dead Space Enigma.
The group is a three-piece lineup whose members have high-profile resumes in technical and extreme metal:
- Christian Münzner — guitar (known for Necrophagist, ex-Obscura, ex-Alkaloid)
- Alex Weber — vocals and bass (Revocation, Malignancy, Exist)
- Gabe Seeber — drums (Decrepit Birth, Abigail Williams)
This is presented as a focused studio project that leverages the technical backgrounds of each member.
Alex Weber commented on the album's demands, saying the material pushed his bass and vocal techniques and produced what he feels is the best recorded bass tone he's achieved. He added that the sessions led him to explore new vocal approaches.
Dead Space Enigma is due December 11 via Season Of Mist. The published tracklist of eight songs is:
- 1Dead Space Enigma
- 2Extraterrestrial Disassembly
- 3Zeta Reticulans
- 4Ammutseba
- 5Cybernetic Infantry
- 6Tyrnexus
- 7Vortex Divinium
- 8Megatropolis
Promotional material emphasizes technical proficiency and compositional complexity. The single's thematic frame — UFO lore and speculative elements — matches song titles that reference extraterrestrial and cybernetic imagery. The band released the single with a professionally directed video, signaling an organized rollout ahead of the album release.
Listeners should expect technically demanding guitar work, a blend of progressive and neoclassical touches, and a rhythm section that supports heavy, complex arrangements. The press statements highlight bass tone and vocal experimentation as notable features on the record. Given the members' histories, the material aims at fans of technical death and thrash who appreciate progressive leanings.
- Watch the "Vortex Divinium" music video to hear the single and assess the band's sound.
- Note the December 11 release date if you plan to stream or buy Dead Space Enigma.
- If you follow any member's previous bands (Necrophagist, Revocation, Decrepit Birth, Obscura), sample the single to see how this project differs or continues those approaches.
