Void (UK) - "Posthuman" [2003]

Artist: Void

Title: Posthuman

Genre: Industrial Black Metal

Country: UK

Release date: 2003

Track List:

Cypher
Neutron Flux
Pathogen Bombshell
Syndrome
Future Horror Aura
Sulphur City Sickness
Zero Signal Pattern
Posthuman

This album isn't known as widely as "Animatronic" or "SETI" by The Kovenant, and it isn't similar to the aforementioned releases in terms of sound, but it features similar lyrical themes, and it's also considered to be one of the classics of ealy 2000s industrial metal. The band, that has reunited and released a new full-length a decade later, describes "Posthuman" as "our debut album, the black metal/electronica crossover masterpiece Posthuman. Way ahead of it's time this avant-garde work of apocalyptic atmospheres is now ten years old but still sounds daring and modern when compared with any post black metal release", a description that's hard to disagree with.

P.S. Their new album "The Hollow Men" is expected to be released on January 29, 2021. Looking forward to it.

About this blog

I created this blog mostly because I wanted to practise my English skills, and to showcase the industrial, gothic, punk, metal, neofolk and progressive rock scene of Russia/ex-USSR and Eastern Europe (especially Hungary) in the meanwhile.

As you can see, this blog doesn't take itself seriously enough, but I hope I'm doing good enough with my reviews even if my proficiency in English is limited. Along with the aforementioned stuff from Eastern Europe, I occasionally post some classic and rare albums that aren't to be missed, and generally whatever I want. Other categories of note:

* finno-ugric rarities - various music (including pop) in minor Finno-Ugric languages which I'm interested in because of my heritage. The music from Hungary, Finland and Estonia can be found under the respective categories;

* lo-fi - various poorly recorded demos from before 2000 that are of historical importance. Most of these demos come from the USSR era, so you might want to check out the USSR category as well.

As of now, I try to post only music that has already been made free by the artists themselves, or the rare old releases that are out of print. But if you're an artist and would like me to remove the download links of your work, just contact me using the form below.

Sorry, I don't do reviews by request, I don't have the time. Moreover, I think the bands that feel the need to advertise themselves by sending their demos to as many blogs as possible are usually just plain boring. If you want to contact me for any other reason, use the contact form below.

It should be obvious enough that reviewing anything on here doesn't equals endorsement of artists' personal views. This especially concerns neofolk and martial industrial. It'd be fair enough to say that I have the same approach to the political and religious topics in these genres as Laibach do.

Many of the female musicians featured on my blog are amateur models, and in many cases their modelling work is no less interesting than their music. Right now I'm working on giving it a separate section of the blog (just in case if anyone wants my review to be only about their music and not their looks). The work is in progress, check back later if you're interested.

The title of my blog comes from a song by The Kovenant (album "SETI", 2003).
