Mike - Guitarist, also makes some angry noises. Also has a beard. Joel - Guitarist, makes less angry noises but also makes nice melodic ones too. Also has a beard. Sion - Bassist. Does not have beard. Oli - Drummer, no angry noises but sometimes sings. Has a beard. We consider our style to be progressive jazz that identifies as heavy metal. Influences: Bury Tomorrow, Parkway Drive, Trivium, Frank Sinatra, August Burns Red.
MoM: How have the last year(s) been for the band? What have you been up too?
Collapse The Void: Extremely adequate. We formed about 2 months before Covid hit, so it's been a bit difficult writing consistently, but we've had a good few gigs since things opened back up.
MoM: What experience have you had with Bloodstock/M2TM in the past?
Collapse The Void: None. This is our first rodeo.
MoM:How are you feeling entering the M2TM format back as it should be?
Collapse The Void: Playing in front of a crowd again? Very happy, hopefully we finally make daddy proud! What's a crowd?
MoM: What would it mean to you to play Bloodstock?
Collapse The Void: It's an ambition of all of ours to play at a major UK festival, it would be an unforgettable experience.
MoM; Tell us two truths and one lie about the band?
Collapse The Void:
1. One of us was a cathedral choir boy
2. One of us is an opera trained singer
3. We're here for a good time and don't take ourselves too seriously.
MoM: Finally give us a four word rundown of what to expect?
Collapse The Void: Progressive jazz, maybe metal.
