“I WANTED TO make an album that you could drink and dance to, but if you start to dig, you’ll find a darker side.”
Featuring a diverse line-up of musicians with backgrounds in jazz, blues, black metal and electronica, White Void’s debut album, Anti, invokes the eerie fuzz of 70s occult rock, the buoyant hooks of 80s hard rock and a heady dose of new wave eccentricity for a sharp, tight release that fans of Ghost will lap up. And, as frontman Lars Are Nedland – who’s also in Borknagar and Solefald – tells Hammer, there’s a weighty concept behind the jaunty tunes.
