Insidious Void – ‘Entropy’ EP (Self-Released)

Posted by | May 19, 2022 | ,

In the immortal words of chef Gordon Ramsey “It’s fucking raw”. Our new EMC – that’s “extreme metal correspondent” – Alex Montgomery thinks that’s the most apt descriptor for the debut EP from Insidious Void: cooked on the outside but raw on the inside. They have the imagery and vibe down pat but in terms of real substance our latest recruit feels its like the three (four if you count the intro) songs here really needed more time in the sonic oven.

If you wanted a real showcase of what the Carolinas have to offer as far as heavy music goes, then Amos’ Southend was the place to be this night. The triple billed headlined by Charlotte’s very own Killakoi was a prime example of the amazing amount of musical talent that the region has to offer. The lineup featured three bands that all fall into the general rock and metal category but are all so very different. It made for an exciting evening with a little bit of something to offer everyone.
