busy busy busy. more dates still in the air!

What a year it's been for us.

Although I Am Void has been out since 2020, thanks to covid and actual demand, it took us till the arse end of 2022 to actually become a live entity.

It's worth remembering we've only been actually gigging out in the wild for a year, so we still feel like a very new band.

Shout out to: Technologist, Only The Righteous, Kryptess, Underdark, Hecate Enthroned, Völniir, Andracca, Grand Central - Alt Bar & Live Music Venue - 80 Oxford st Manchester, bank top tavern, 0161 Manchester Underground Metal Community Promotions, tapestries promotions, Rebellion Manchester, The Vortex Bar and Nightclub., Retribution Alive - London Metal Nights, Die Kur, Vulgore, Vast Slug, EVISARIZE, The River, Cruelty, OmegaThrone and anyone I may have missed for putting up with our racket

Next year we have a few cool things planned! With appearances at Grind After Death Fest, Depravation Festival, and a couple of other things lined up that are still waiting to be nailed down.. not to mention we will be looking for a label to release our next album.

See you all 2024! If I've missed anyone please shout in the comments! As is usual with my spectacular lack of social media planning it's all very seat of the pants while dodging soon to be tipsy people on New Year's Eve while they shout at me for being on my phone.

Fu**in boomers.

And shows later on in the year, May 25th are also hotting up and confirmed! Grind After Death Fest looks to be a r**t chuffin banger too.

With a few things up in the air and not yet confirmed thanks to the whole recent whizbiz, our next CONFIRMED gig will be the the 24th of February at The Fenton, Leeds with The Crawling, Denali and Godeth.

This will be a r**t banger!

Wanted to let you know that we are no longer working or affiliated with Unearthed Music. Some of you, you may already know why and if not, you can find out with a quick search on their page.

BAND ANNOUNCEMENT #5 The Machinist UK

We continue to support Local talent with thanks to Unearthed Music

The Machinist is an extreme Industrial blackened death metal project featuring members of Mancunian industrial terrorists NekroDrako (RIP) and Black Metal old guard Reign Of Erebus. They create a mix of influences from the likes of Mayhem, Darkthrone, Emperor, Anaal Nathrakh, Morbid Angel, Deicide & The Berzerker, as well as film soundtracks like The Thing & Alien. Their approach is unapologetically rooted in Old School Extreme Metal, with a distinctly programmed Electronic Drum Sound, making liberal use of harsh AF soundscapes, as well as analogue synth swells reminiscent of John Carpenter. Cheers for all support so far, 5 more bands to come!!

Hey folks. Be ace if you could give us a vote on this. Any category will do. Even worst gig if that's how ya feel.
Thanks muchly.

*hint. Our video for Cathedrals fall must deserve a vote right? *hint.
