Void Stasis – Eschaton (Digital/CD Album – Cryo Chamber)
Last year, Void Stasis unveiled its third opus. Led by Kristof Bathory (Dawn Of Ashes) and Marie Ann Hedonia, the project delves into a dystopian sci-fi soundscape set in a post-apocalyptic world.
The album exudes a dark and enigmatic atmosphere, amplified by layers of ominous drones, pulsating electronic sequences, immersive sound waves, and an array of field recordings and abstract noises. These elements create an overwhelming sonic experience that engulfs the listener. Tineidea and Atrium carceri have been featured each on one track.
Void Stasis constructs a uniquely experimental realm—foreboding yet deeply compelling—where tension and atmosphere merge into a hypnotic, immersive journey. (Rating:7½).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
