Description/Reviews: 

Described as post-rock, atmospheric metal with progressive metal tendencies and a fondness for Pink Floyd it’s a eclectic world that An Ocean of Void inhabit. Comparisons have been made with bands like Russian Circles and, more appropriately, Ghost Brigade and that might give you an initial indication of the type of music this band produces but it by no means gives you the whole story.
There are some moments that would not be out of place on a modern-day Black Metal release but overall the sound evokes a dark and melancholic atmosphere punctuated by raw moments of intense energy. This is illustrated best on tracks like “Silent Storm”, “Resonance” and “Enigma” which all share a similar unsettling ambience before letting the full fury of inner rage loose.
