MORAL VOID - New Song [Streaming]
OK, I know this is only one song, and it's streaming, so it's not something you'd usually see here, but listen, Moral Void is one of my favorite bands around now. They've put out a few 7 inches and they are fucking RAD. Now, after what was supposed to be a Spring 2014 release, an LP is FINALLY forthcoming (sometime soon). So check this first song out. If you are a fan of this blog at all, you will totally dig this, I guarantee it. Total blackened metal crust hardcore perfection from Chicago. Think The Secret, Harrowed or Young And In The Way. As a bonus I get to see these guys with Angry Gods this Sunday in this Godforsaken city. Suck it Jerm!

Chicago's Moral Void is in my top 3 current bands at the moment. Ever since I heard the first note from the first song they made available, I was completely hooked. Their vinyl releases are finally starting to roll off the presses and after a long wait, I received their VOL. I 7" in the mail today. First off, the packaging is beautiful. Nice monochromatic cover with full lyrics, complete with a patch and a sticker. There are only 2 songs on this record but they both clock in at nearly 4 minutes each. The songs are flawless. The A-side, "Breach", starts off with a tense 25 second drum-roll before launching into a crust-laden hardcore attack of d-beat drums, scorched vocals and incendiary guitars. At the 1-minute mark, the beat slows and gets HEAVY before another drum-fill takes you into some of the most infectious, head-banging hardcore rhythm you'll ever hear. The song eventually slows again for the remainder of the time and haunting guitar strumming ends the song. Flip over to the B-Side, "Wolves", and for the first 2 minutes you'll get nothing but riffs and blast beats all over the place. The last 2 minutes of the song take on a more dream-like droning hardcore sound before fading out with a similar ending as the A-side. I've listened to this record at least 10 times today and I didn't stop banging my head and tapping my feet for one second. It goes without saying that you should pick this record up at any cost.
They will have 2 more songs coming out very soon on a split 7" on Headfirst! Records with Young And In The Way, who just recently signed with Deathwish. I would be shocked if Moral Void isn't signed soon somewhere as well as I think they easily stand their ground with any other band on Deathwish or Southern Lord. Also, if 4 songs aren't enough for you, the VOL. II 7" will be released later this year featuring 2 more tracks. It still won't be enough though. I won't be satisfied until I get a full-length. Keep track of the band at the links above if you're interested in seeing them or pre-ordering their records.
FFO: Cursed, Young And In The Way, End Reign, Trap Them, Hierophant, Alpinist, Centuries etc...
