Before the festive season starts, Sweden’s blackened thrash metal band Sarcator offers an early present for its fans with their newest single “Where The Void Begins”. The third track from the group’s upcoming album delivers a haunting exploration of despair and existential reflection. With vivid imagery, the lyrics delve into themes of isolation, loss, and the allure of the unknown. Dark and poetic, the song paints a picture of surrender to the infinite unknown – terrifying but liberating.
“Where The Void Begins” will be the last single before Sarcator’s third full length album, Swarming Angels & Flies, will be fully unleashed on January 17, 2025, via Century Media Records.
The band comments, “’Where The Void Begins’ is the brother song of ‘The Long Lost’, off our 2022 album Alkahest – not in an obvious way but it felt like continuing on a story that wasn’t complete. It’s the heavy one on this album and ends up in a total rock n roll frenzy. Additionally, it is the first one we wrote that ended up on this album, so it still carries the spirit of the previous album in a way.”
