Void Sector Zero Premiere “Vortex Divinium” Video
Void Sector Zero, the project featuring Christian Münzner (Necrophagist), Alex Weber (Revocation), and Gabe Seeber (Decrepit Birth), have premiered a new video for their new song “Vortex Divinium.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Dead Space Enigma,” which will be released on December 11.
Münzner commented on the single:
“This song was inspired by Bob Lazar’s story about Element 1-15, the element that he says was used to fuel the anti-gravity propulsion system of the alien space craft that he was working on. Musically, the song has a very proggy and neoclassical twist with traces of ‘70s prog and jazz fusion.”
Weber added the following about the album:
“‘Dead Space Enigma‘ was a real blast to work on. Chris wrote a very demanding set of tunes that really pushed my bass and vocal techniques to new levels. To date, I feel like this album has the best recorded bass tone that I’ve ever gotten. It also led me to try new things with my voice that I didn’t know I could do. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”
“Dead Space Enigma” Track Listing:
01. “Dead Space Enigma“
02. “Extraterrestrial Disassembly“
03. “Zeta Reticulans“
04. “Ammutseba“
05. “Cybernetic Infantry“

Split Chain Cancel Their Immediate Live Shows Due To A Death In The Family
Split Chain have cancelled their immediate live dates. The shows were scrapped following the death of guitarist Jake Reid’s father.
The group commented:
“To everyone who was planning on coming to our shows in Long Island, NY and New Brunswick, NJ we are unfortunately having to cancel these 2 shows. Jake’s dad, Brian, sadly passed away a few days ago. Currently Jake and his family are dealing with a lot and what comes with the passing of a family member and with timings not falling in line due to funeral preparations, these shows aren’t doable for us. We would appreciate you sending your love to Jake and his family in these real tough times.
Brian was a huge part of Jake’s musical life; being so supportive of his dream, driving him and his old band around for shows, and being such a present person in his friendship group whilst growing up in his local scene, we can only thank him for pushing Jake to where he is today as without him split chain wouldn’t be here.
Thank you to Dream Fatigue and Flat Wounds for being so understanding.”

“Struggle, pain, and loss. Since ‘Live the Storm’ we have now lost 3 members of our band to cancer – Henrik, Tomas, and most recently Marcus. While we lost Henrik shortly after ‘Live the Storm,’ Tomas and Marcus stayed active with us and were part of our new album, ‘The Last Nail,’ which we’re announcing today. Written over the past 14 years and recorded during the past 3 years, we’ve been actively preparing ‘The Last Nail’ over the course of the last year.
While our dear friends and bandmates Tomas, passed over a year ago and Marcus, only a few short weeks ago, they both wanted this record to come out as quickly as possible. Before Marcus passed, he saw a final copy of the album, and we wish to share the same joy it brought him, with you. Tomas and Marcus were extremely proud of their performances on this album, as we all are, and we invite you to hear their final performances on ‘The Last Nail.’
In April of 2024, during our last session together, we had a wonderful time. We didn’t think of the dark stuff. These were times of laughter. Robert Samsonowitz shot the last photos of ‘The Last Nail’ line-up together at the studio. We will always cherish those times. ‘The Last Nail’ will be released on November 20th via Relapse Records. Marcus, Tomas, and Henrik, this one is for you.”
