Interested in collaboration, criticism, and conversation. Currently most dedicated to making some sort of Afrobeat and/or Congotronics inspired record of songs + jams + programming. Going about this with a 5 man + computers/loopers team including modified electric guitars (to emulate mbiras), re-imagined auxiliary percussion/drumsets (cymbals, bells, trash on drum heads, multiple cymbals mounted atop each other, etc), tiny (tinny) solid state practice amps such as Vox Pathfinder and Fender Frontman, Roland Handsonic, and several delay pedals. Me + my brother Dane, his wife Abbey, friends Kyle Henson and Ben Jousan (and more folks on the way?). All the vocals/lyrics here are very tentative (ie placeholders for the real deal)! Most of what's public here is VERY demo.

This page is going to be focusing on North Carolina metal. Black Metal, Death Metal, Thrash Metal, Grindcore, Doom and other extreme forms of metal. Eventually there will be plenty of tracks to put your mind at ease. Also if you are a band in NC and are true metal, no emo, scream core or other blasphemes forms of metal hit me up and i'll add your music to the page.

Relentless riffs. Searing solos. Brutal bass. Thundering drums. Vivid vocal melodies and harmonies. This is Voidward. Hailing from Durham, NC, power-trio Voidward embraces the deep swagger of classic rock and metal, wrangling formidable riffs against swirling rhythms through shimmering psychedelia in high concept/low brow guitar+bass+drum epics. For fans of The Fucking Champs, Sigur Rós, Black Sabbath, Antônio Carlos Jobim, and The Riverbottom Nightmare Band.



Voidward’s debut 8-song, self-titled, full-length album “Voidward” (featuring title track ‘Voidward’) unleashed itself within this dimension on Friday, July 1, 2022. Available on CD and on all streaming platforms via Clearly Records.



Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Nicholas T. Petersen at Track & Field Recording (Bon Iver, Horseback, Megafaun, Sylvan Esso), from May 2019 to May 2020 in Durham, NC.
