Interview by Sakis

-Hails Shadowsoul.Can you give us a short biography of the band?

Realm of Void is a personal project that I started in late 2016 with the purpose of creating atmospheric/post black metal music that would lead the listener to imaginary soundscapes. I had created some demo tracks that involved to the debut album released as a digi in 2017 (Askio Prod./Realm of Void Prod.). The underground scene accepted the new born and thus RoV was introduced to the scene. After releasing the first album, I felt I should head up to a different musical direction for the second album, with more elements from fast black metal and some technical-avant garde-atmospheric elements-melodies as well. The second full-length is completed and I am thinking about releasing it by myself in early 2024.

-What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music?

It is really difficult to answer this question, because when I write music I don’t think about the direction, it comes out naturally. I just let myself play and write with no real intention. I have been a metalhead since my teen years and many bands have influenced my style: black metal, atmospheric metal, atmospheric doom, melodic black metal etc. I think that some bands that I listened to during the last years before writing the first album were Eternal Valley and Hermodr, really nice atmospheric-melodic material. Maybe I was in some way influenced.

-What is going on with some of the other bands or musical projects these days that you are a part of?

My main band Dark Messiah is preparing the recordings for the next album via Drakkar Prod. I have many other projects that I work on and soon I think you will be able to listen to the result. Enipeas is an atmospheric black/doom band, Chrismos is an atmospheric doom/death metal band IΧΩΡ is an epic/pagan black metal band and there are some more projects that I’m working hard to complete, like Haunting Scars which is in the veins of depressive/melancholic black metal like Afsky, Coldworld etc. I hope we will have the opportunity soon to talk about the next releases!
