StargazerIV Emptiness return with the dissonant, experimental eeriness of "Nothing But the Whole" an album I found to be a masterpiece. This is a welcome return to the sonic architecture that makes Emptiness so distinctive. Favorite track: Nothing but the Whole (Part 2).

Grimmrobe Emptiness has abandoned the ASMR route of their previous release and leapt back into the arms of deranged darkness. Favorite track: The Threat.
Ippocalyptica

Ippocalyptica Emptiness is a vibe unto itself, no other band sounding quite like this, a swirling and writhing manifestation of darkness given form through black and death metal alchemy. I saw them live two years ago and it gave me an idea of how it felt to be sucked into a black hole. Looking forward to the one!

nick elliott After what feels like 500 spins, im glad to say this is a welcome return to old form. I love the asmr albums but this is a good balance between some real solid metal and the dark soggy club music they've put out too. Amazing record start to finish, no skips available, gonna be a classic in no time.

about

Founded in Brussels in 1998, EMPTINESS have spent over two decades refusing the conventions of extreme music, moving through black and death metal, avant-garde experimentation, and claustrophobic minimalism to build a body of work that consistently resists genre enclosure. Nowhere Speaks is their seventh full-length and their most immersive statement yet, released through Season of Mist.

The album descends into a dimension removed from all human trace, a place governed by its own silent logic, indifferent to the listener's presence and unconcerned with offering entry. Recorded almost entirely live in the studio after four years of preparation, the music carries the tension and physicality of performance taken to its absolute limit: dense, textured, and unrelenting in the way it closes in. The conceptual architecture is precise. Nowhere Speaks opens exactly where Nothing But The Whole (2014) ended, picking up mid-riff from that album's cult abrupt conclusion, and closes with its opening riff, forming a deliberate loop between the two records. After the distortion-free, French-language austerity of Vide (2021), the return to weight and intensity here is total. Identity dissolves across these ten tracks. Scale becomes irrelevant. The music does not communicate so much as exert pressure, advancing through sensation rather than narrative, through the awareness of something vast that neither acknowledges nor accommodates the listener.

Forces converge, collide, and dissolve in ways that resist comprehension, reflecting the band's central idea that nothing exists, yet everything does.
