PETRIFICATION’s bludgeoning 2018 debut LP Hollow of the Void has been reissued on a limited new run of colored vinyl after having been sold out for nearly a year. The amazing death metal album is finally available again on clear water blue vinyl with a red and purple marble, housed in a high quality sleeve with electric green flood inside the pocket. You can now order the LP reissue from our RELEASES page or on our Bandcamp.
One the most unique and bombastic US/OSDM releases of 2018, Hollow of the Void is a breakneck rampage of gruesome death metal chaos that worships directly at the ancient altar of legends like Convulse, Bolt Thrower, Grave, and Autopsy. Despite its homage-like timelessness and classic feel, the album is a modern and defiant take on the genre that unifies an exquisite taste in its celebrative sonic assault with a visual surreal and masterful visual presentation unlike anything else commonly seen out there in the genre.
Hollow of the Void was released in April 2018 and established Petrification as one of the most threatening and exciting new new acts to appear that year in American death metal. The album received widespread and unanimous praise in the underground from fans and critics alike, being hailed as a 2018 landmark death metal release by outlets like Revolver and Decibel Magazine among others. Particular praise has been given to the album’s raw and visceral sound, to it’s modern and ambitious take on a style of death metal often labelled as “old school” and that has evolved little over the years, and to its astonishing and unique visual presentation, an aspect developed and created for the album directly by the band’s singer, famed underground surreal painter and visual artist Jason Barnett.
