Formed in 2013 in Lafayette, Louisiana, Forming The Void have not only become one of the city’s most talked about heavy rock bands, they are now widely considered to be a dominant and rising force in the genre. Praised and recognised across the world by the likes of MetalSucks, PROG, Classic Rock, Metal Injection and CVLT Nation, their drive to succeed has pushed them forward, as they relentlessly march through each new chapter.Since the release of their self-titled debut in 2014, Forming The Void have gone on to unleash two more albums with Skyward (2015), and the critically acclaimed Relic in 2017. Working in conjunction with established labels such as Argonauta, Black Bow and Lonestar, their next album, Rift, is due for release this summer on one of Europe’s biggest and best-loved underground rock labels, Kozmic Artifactz. Representing a massive step forward for these young visionaries it will be their first album with drummer Thomas Colley, formerly of White Light Cemetery, who has brought with him an exciting new depth to their already colossal and atmospheric sound. A sound that summons the towering hard rock riffs and the progressive influence of bands like Mastodon, Baroness and Torche. To back up their prolific studio output, Forming The Void are also defined in no small part by their love of touring and while the band themselves may be young, they are already veterans of the scene. Following appearances at SXSW, Stoner Jam and End Hip, End It, they will also be performing at a number of major tastemaker events in 2018, including Psycho Las Vegas, Descendants of Crom and Denver Electric Funeral.
