FORMING THE VOID - "Trace The Omen" (Official Video)

Forming the Void invoke the progressive and heavy tendencies of Mastodon and Torche, the psychedelic and soaring melodies of Pink Floyd, and the rolling confidence of Soundgarden. With swamp mud stuck to their feet as they trudge forth from South Central Louisiana, they aren't afraid to slow things to a crawl, a welcome approach as shown by their last effort 'Rift' topping the Doom Charts at its arrival. No strangers to the road, FTV have crossed the US alongside Truckfighters, Church of Misery, Kings Destroy, Gozu and Howling Giant. Their otherworldly sound has earned them spots on large festivals such as Psycho Las Vegas, Denver's Electric Funeral Fest, Stoner Daze and Stoner Jam at SXSW, Maryland Doom Fest, and Descendants of Crom. For their new album ‘Reverie’, the band seeks to further explore aspects of the sound they've shaped on their previous outings, guided by a desire to strike a balance between organic and intentional. The result is an album that reaches new levels of refined depth, mystical energy and cosmic transcendence.
