EMPTINESS

Nowhere Speaks

Season of Mist

2026

 

Emptiness is bringing us their latest album, Nowhere Speaks. Hailing from Belgium and having been around for a couple of decades; they’re giving us a completely unique sound from the black metal scene.

 

So, I am completely baffled how I’ve never discovered this band before. I guess living in North America sometimes means I miss out on amazing bands. Anyways, I am floored by this album. The dark beauty that’s presented to us. Literally a gift from the nothing.

 

There’s something so special about Nowhere Speaks as a whole. I wasn’t sure what I was getting into as the opening track starts off kind of staticky, but it morphs and changes into this really stunning track of heavy riffs. And the vocals?! Get outta here. They are this otherworldly ethereal growl. It’s straight up like having an out of body experience. Each song ebbs and flows into the next. I was left absolutely entranced. It’s hard to pick out a standout track when it’s truly a standout album.

 

To say I enjoyed this is a massive understatement. I’m enthralled.
