Forming the Void to Release Relic March 17

forming the void

Louisiana four-piece Forming the Void issued the deceptively metallic Skyward (review here) last year and have signed to Italy’s Argonauta Records for the follow-up, Relic, which will see release on March 17. One can hear the aggressive/progressive thread continuing from the debut in the new song “Bialozar,” which is streaming ahead of the record’s arrival, but the groove underlying still owes part of its stomp to the heavier end of rock, and the blend seems all the more resonant with the vocal melody that tops. Easy to understand why they’d put the track out first, as it shows clear forward movement in sound and presentation and makes one look forward to the album. Nice tease, gents. Well played.

The PR wire sends good reason for marking your calendar:

FORMING THE VOID sign to Argonauta Records for release of new album Relic

Relic by Forming The Void is released on 17th March 2017

Following the release of last year’s impressive Skyward album, Forming the Void, originally formed in 2013 in Lafayette, Louisiana, has gained an impressive reputation for raising underground rock into realms of the previously unknown.

Atmospheric, heavy and progressive yet losing none of these earnest qualities at volume, they layer their ambitions as thickly as the riffs that help transmit their visions. Newly signed to Italian label Argonauta Records, this March will see the release of their third album Relic. Like Skyward before it, it draws on one hell of a colossal sound. New song ‘Bialozar’ is the first track lifted from said album and, as you will hear, it’s carried along on lead singer James Marshall’s soaring, practically airborne vocal about an epic voyage of a celestial beast: “Valiant mantra in mind, Radiant alive in light” / “Wings spread over the mountain, Bialozar”.

Summoning the towering hard rock riffs and progressive influence of bands like Mastodon, Baroness and Torche, it’s just one of many songs on Relic that finds the four piece illustrating their bold and adventurous ideas in the most vivid of colours.

Relic by Forming the Void is released on 17th March 2017 via Argonauta Records.
