Although the last two years were mainly shitty due to pandemic and lockdowns and all that crap, they gave us some good music and Carving Void were spawned from the pandemic times in Dresden/Leipzig, Germany and this is their debut full length album, out with help of beautiful people at Modern Illusion Records. This album contains nine songs of metallic hardcore, as I said with both foot in metal with some little excursions into punk rock waters, sounding more like Earth Crisis and Hatebreed and less than let´s say Agnostic Front. I find many bands that play such music boring and many such records run by me just like that with no influence on my heart, but fortunately this one is different. Lyrically band deals with violence and trying to survive in these times, sexism and abuse of women, also ecology and modern progress which kills nature more and more. I already said that these guys remind me a lot of Earth Crisis, minus vocals because singer of this band reminds me a lot with his voice of Kid D from Ryker´s. Maybe its just me, but that is how I hear it. Anyway, this is a great modern hardcore record with hearts and minds in the right place. Give this one a try.
