Anti

Description

Eclectic hard rockers White Void are a curious bunch fronted by Lars Are Nedland (Borknagar, Solefald). Forged in the space between the occult rock of the seventies, the no-excuses-hard rock of the eighties and the British New Wave movement, Nedland and his band members Tobias Solbakk (Ihsahn), electronica staple Vegard Kummen, and blues rock virtuoso Eivind Marum balance on the event horizon that separates old from new. Aggression from melody. Dream from drive. With White Void’s members having their backgrounds in Norwegian black metal, chiptune electronica, pop music and blues, you’ll see why “Anti” is an album that’s hard to pin down. It’s darkly melodic, it’s driven, and it’s infused with earworms, hooks and licks. Boasting a shameless attitude, though, it comes forth as deeply true to the core of our shared hard rock heritage. Still, “Anti” probably doesn't sound like you think. It’s an album riddled with contrasts and references, musically as well as philosophically. The concept is based on Albert Camus’ Absurdism and deals with how you cope with an existence that is in its core absurd. Musically it draws on the past while forging towards the future. And the result? Well, enter the Void to find out! En savoir plus
