Editorial Reviews

2009 debut from this outfit led by Type 0 Negative members Johnny and Kenny. With their own unique sound, which is different from all of the 'sound alike' bands today, Seventh Void is ready to take on 2009 and make their mark in Metal history. Features the single 'Heaven Is Gone'.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Doom Metal" in every sense of the term, April 21, 2009

First let me start by saying this review may be a little biased, as Type O Negative is my favorite band. There are, of course, similarities between Seventh Void and Type O. The most prominent would be the sludgy Sabbath-like riffs and Kenny's familiar vocals. However, that is where the similarities end. You wont find the trademark lush melodies and organs/keys that make Type O Negative so distinct so I would recommend Type O Negative fans approaching this album with an open mind. I am not really a fan of the Doom Metal genre beyond bands like Tiamat or Type O, as I tend to like a lot of melody in my metal! However, this is a well made record. The riffs are not mindblowing, nor are the solos but Kenny & Co have made a good metal album full of tight grooves and the "doomiest" lyrics ever with themes that cover everything from suicide, drug abuse, the end of the world, and all things negative (sound familiar? ). The lyrics are not the most original but definitely fit the music. The only real complaint I have is Kenny's vocals. I think Kenny's high pitched yells are perfect in Type O and contrast well with Peter Steele's low baritone. Being that he is the lead singer in Seventh Void, he pretty much does nothing but yell in the exact same range in every song, which can be kind of grating to hear after a while. I would like to see more of a range in his vocal style on a later release. However, for a debut its pretty impressive considering his vocals are now taking center stage. Bottom line, if you like Type O I still totally recommend it for the obvious reasons. As far as the metal genre goes these days, there is a lot of cheesy stuff out there so this blows most mainstream metal out of the water. Seventh Void definitely channels that Brooklyn attitude the same way Type O Negative and Life of Agony have before. Fun release. Standout tracks include the title track, Descent, and Last Walk In The Light

Vinnie Paul did a great job signing and delivering us this album. Sure there is a lot of promotion focused on this record due to John and Kenny from Type O Negatie in it, but I heard this on XM prior to finding out who was in this band, and I already had made up my mind to get it. It has downtuned guitars, and many long instramental interludes that just pound the melody strait into your head. This is not just left over Type O songs, but are fresh sounding with a light sprinkle of the Drab Four. Standout tracks for me are Killing You Slow and Heavan Is Gone. Definately in the vein of Black Sabbath (like the into on the track Descent). Great addition for fans of Type O Negative, or fans of bands like The Sword or Black Sabbath.

Just picked this one up today and what a great side project from Kenny and Johnny of Type O Negative! Originally saw this album promoted by producer Vinny Paul on VH-1 That Metal Show with Eddie Trunk about a month ago and glad I did! What great sound production through Big Vin Records...much like the Rebel Meets Rebel quality! This effort certainly delivers an awesome dosage of power-punching Sabbath meets Type O doom-style riffs laced with top grunge era influences all tied into one giant dark void! Each track offers tremendous energy, maximum drive, and all are 10's in my book! Seventh Void "Heaven is Gone" rocks the proverbial Hell out of Heaven in 2009 and then some! Definitely pick this one up ASAP!
