Description
Born from the ashes of Cave Ritual, Void Prayer emerged in 2014 as part of the infamous Black Plague Circle, embodying the raw, suffocating spirit of Black Metal at its most demented. Stillbirth from the Psychotic Void is the ultimate testament to their original lineup—a harrowing, atmospheric nightmare where reality fractures into pure abyssal terror.
Dripping with reverb and drenched in dread, this album is a slow descent into disjointed delirium. Echoing drum patterns reverberate through cavernous spaces, their ominous simplicity amplifying the creeping sensation of unease. The guitars weave between wretched discordance and sorrowful lament, shifting from unhinged aggression to mournful passages of despair. Bleak, hollowed-out vocals claw from beneath the surface, their spectral wails a manifestation of suffering lost within the suffocating haze. This is an album that breathes its own insanity—a suffocating, ghostly presence that lingers long after the final note.
Unlike anything that followed, this incarnation of Void Prayer remains the true harbinger of their nightmarish vision. A ritual of dread, of torment, of pure Black Metal psychosis—Stillbirth from the Psychotic Void is the definitive relic of their most powerful era.
