UK HEAVY ROCK PROGGERS GODSTICKS RETURN WITH THE LONG-AWAITED NEW STUDIO ALBUM ‘VOID’ CD DIGIPACK EDITION WITH 12-PAGE PRINTED BOOKLET
‘VOiD’ is Godsticks’ darkest, heaviest & most uncompromising album to date. Both lyrically &
musically, ‘VOiD’ reflects a disillusionment with a world increasingly defined by division, ideological rigidity, & the loss of nuance. The album documents a conscious withdrawal from the noise - a
retreat into a personal void.
"Metal as well as Rock, from the head as well from the heart" – Classic Rock DEMuch of ‘VOiD’ is driven by  frustration with the binary nature of modern discourse, where context & intent are routinely discarded in favour of winning arguments. The record rejects that environment entirely, choosing introspection over confrontation, & exploring Darran Charles’ (lyricist & vocals) balancing of misanthropy with optimism & isolation with connection.
“Their blend of indie-rock & alternative metal has emotion & depth” – Buzz Magazine
The writing process for ‘VOiD’ was exacting & often punishing, with songs repeatedly reworked in pursuit of emotional impact. Long-standing collaborators Tom Price & Gavin Bushell play a vital role throughout, while the introduction of new bassist Francis George - the band’s first line-up change in twelve years - brings a subtle but important shift in the overall feel of the rhythm section.
This CD edition of ‘VOiD’ is presented as a 4-panel digipack & includes a 12-page printed booklet.
