{"product_id":"cd-godsticks-void-cd","title":"VOiD","description":"UK HEAVY ROCK PROGGERS GODSTICKS RETURN WITH THE LONG-AWAITED NEW STUDIO ALBUM ‘VOID’ CD DIGIPACK EDITION WITH 12-PAGE PRINTED BOOKLET\u003cbr\u003e‘VOiD’ is Godsticks’ darkest, heaviest \u0026amp; most uncompromising album to date. Both lyrically \u0026amp;\u003cbr\u003emusically, ‘VOiD’ reflects a disillusionment with a world increasingly defined by division, ideological rigidity, \u0026amp; the loss of nuance. The album documents a conscious withdrawal from the noise - a\u003cbr\u003eretreat into a personal void.\u003cbr\u003e\"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 \u0026amp; intent are routinely discarded in favour of winning arguments. The record rejects that environment entirely, choosing introspection over confrontation, \u0026amp; exploring Darran Charles’ (lyricist \u0026amp; vocals) balancing of misanthropy with optimism \u0026amp; isolation with connection.\u003cbr\u003e“Their blend of indie-rock \u0026amp; alternative metal has emotion \u0026amp; depth” – Buzz Magazine\u003cbr\u003eThe writing process for ‘VOiD’ was exacting \u0026amp; often punishing, with songs repeatedly reworked in pursuit of emotional impact. Long-standing collaborators Tom Price \u0026amp; 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.\u003cbr\u003eThis CD edition of ‘VOiD’ is presented as a 4-panel digipack \u0026amp; includes a 12-page printed booklet.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40427711267017,"sku":"474703","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/474703-Product-0-I-639100102802046846.jpg?v=1774413545","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/cd-godsticks-void-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
