Bezmir - Void

Void is the latest album by Ukrainian black metal project Bezmir. A little more than thirty seven minutes long, the album has seven tracks: Arrival, Towards the Blood Gates, Cold Bones of Universe, Fear of Unknown, Dead Space, Aeons Away and the title track, Void. A very traditional BM album, there is little on Void to highlight, and a lot less capable of surprising the listener. Although the sound is exceedingly predictable all the way through, the record has some interesting qualities, and a certain degree of originality that, if it’s not strong or remarkable enough, nor proficient, it is balanced and technically punctuated. But these two qualities are, basically, all that you can expect from this album. Unfortunately, it sounds most of the time a pervasively raw and limited black metal, with unsophisticated keyboards and very simple guitar lines, incapable to surprise its audience in the slightest degree. In this scale of predictability, the possibility of an emotional musical rapture is, needless to mention, inexistent, so to speak. 

Obviously, Void can find a very defined and devoted audience, more specifically in the public that enjoys a very traditional BM, unadorned, and devoid of poetic melodies or creative experimentation. A little exasperating over some minutes, there is not too much to describe about this album. Extremely predictable, Void has abundant allusions to what traditional BM has at its best: fast and furious guitar lines, shadowy sinister melodies, growling vocals and very low key production values. Unfortunately, you can’t expect too much beyond that. The signature sound of the genre, on its tedious basic levels.    

While this album really doesn’t have too much qualities of its own, the complete lack of authenticity gives poor creative prospects to the work. Undoubtedly, there is a certain degree of audacity here. But in general, the album sounds too generic to deserve any special mention.   

Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this album to anyone. Too predictable and relying on ordinary musical formulas, certainly you have a lot of better options when it comes to black metal.
