Aether
Void is an Italian Heavy Metal band. It was formed in Modena (Italy)
in November 2017 from the ashes of the band No Way Out.
The
band was formed in June 2015 as “No Way Out” and the original
lineup featured guitarists Erik Marzocchini and Domenico Rondinone
(“Domme”), bassist Davide Brusini (“Bruso”), drummer Alberto
Lugari (“Albi”) and singer Mirko Bagni. The sound of the band
could be defined as traditional heavy metal from the eighties and
nineties with some thrash metal influences, though it could not be
easily compared to any specific band.
In
February 2017, the band’s first 4-track EP “Dirty Games” was
officially released.
No
Way Out’s debut EP deals with a bunch of themes connected to the
band’s personal point of view on the actual world such as death
penalty (“Dead Man”) or world conflicts and their consequences
(“War Is Near”, “End Of The World”). Another track,
“Overload”, aims at celebrating the band itself and the entire
heavy metal genre.
The
EP was recorded at Art Distillery Studios in Modena in November 2016.
In
September 2017, the "99.1%" single was recorded and released.
This
single is a homage to the famous tv series “Breaking Bad” and was
also the first lyric video of the band. The sound clearly moves away
from the previous EP, indicating the artistic evolution of the band.
Later
the band’s goal was to release its first studio album, but some
complications arose among the band members. After careful
consideration singer Mirko Bagni reluctantly decided to leave the
band, though remaining on good terms with the other members.
Then,
due to different artistic views, lead guitarist Domenico Rondinone
and the rest of the band mutually decided to part ways.
Despite
the loss of two members, the band did not stop working on the album
and the three remaining members carried on the project, yet deciding
to make significant changes.
New
ideas and different influences led to a completely new approach in
composition compared to the previous EP.
The
project could go on thanks to two new members: Salvatore De Matteo
(“Thore”) on vocals and Nicolò Bondioli (“Bond”) on lead
guitar. With the new singer joining the band, the rough vocals which
marked “Dirty Games” and “99.1%” were replaced by cleaner and
more harmonic vocal lines that create a clear contrast with the
previous songs.
Because
of the huge changes affecting the band, in November 2017 the moniker
was changed into “Aether Void”.
In
October 2018 Aether Void completed the recording of their first
studio album “Curse
Of Life” at “Art Distillery Studios”.
The
album was officially released on march 29th 2019 via Revalve Records.
The
first single “Twisted
Maze” was released on YouTube on march 2019, it was the band’s
first music video. During 2019, 4 more singles were released from the
album “Curse of Life”:
“One
Last Dawn" , “Death
Wish", “Faithless
Crusade” and “ Angels
Die Too” with their respective Lyric Videos.
From
June 2019 the band begins to collaborate with the booking agency
"Truck Me Hard" for the promotion and the organization of
live events.
During
the pandemic of covid-19 the band changes line-up. In 2022 Thore and
Bruso were replaced by Alfredo Pellini (Pello) on vocals and Giovanni
Bergianti (GeV) on bass.
A
few months after Pello and GeV joined the band, Aether Void released
a new EP containing the unreleased single "Rise
Again" and an Alternative Version of "Twisted
Maze" from the album "Curse of Life" with their
related videos.
Also
in 2022, the band began collaboration with "Cerberus Booking"
for management and events. They
also resume live activities with the new line-up after 2 years of
stop due to the pandemic.
In
December 2022, the band began recording the new album at "Morphing
Studios".....
