New Release: ASARU - BACK FROM THE VOID
Yeah… this one hits different.
After more than a decade of silence, German black metal veterans ASARU crawl back out of the abyss with a new full-length called “V.O.I.D.” and damn, it feels cold. Like real cold. January night, breath in the air, fingers numb on the volume knob.
ASARU were there early. 1995. Southern Hesse. Frank Nordmann at the helm, always. One of those bands that never chased trends, never played the scene game. Norwegian spirit in the veins, sure, but with their own scars, their own handwriting. Epic at times, thrashy when it needs to bite. Always honest. Always black.
More than ten years since From the Chasm of Oblivion and they don’t sound like a band trying to “come back”. No nostalgia act here. V.O.I.D. feels thought-out, heavy in themes and heavier in intent. The elements are all here "fire, earth, air, water" colliding with mankind, religion, war, downfall. Big words, yeah, but the music carries them without collapsing.
The first strike was “Raise the Flame”. Fire as creation and destruction. Simple. Brutal. Effective. The album follows that logic all the way through, nine tracks that move like a ritual more than a playlist. Some moments stretch and breathe, others slash fast and hard. No filler vibes. No cute tricks.
Frank Nordmann is still steering the ship, and you can feel that stubborn dedication in every riff. ASARU sound like ASARU. Not polished. Not modernized. Just sharpened by time.
Emperor fans will nod. Old Immortal heads too. Gorgoroth, Dissection, yeah… you get the picture.
V.O.I.D. was released January 23, 2026 via Schwarzdorn Production. Digital, deluxe CD, limited vinyl. The vinyl’s gonna vanish fast, I can already feel it.
