Forbidden Morals

by VOID

supported by

Richard Dorney I recently caught these guys in NYC as the opening band on the Dark Angel tour, I was aware of the buzz surrounding them so I got there early, and was pleasantly surprised. They lean hard into the 80s in all the best ways and put a smile on this jaded old lifers face. Great to see the next generation flying the flag of Metal, my new favorite band.

trav These guys have that Mercyful Fate edge and I am all over it. Wanna play some old Castlevania games now too. Favorite track: By Silver Light.

Eden Kupermintz A vision from a heavy metal that went elsewhere, more towards Di'Anno's dark timbre than the signature falsetto. Techy, emotional, and gothic as all hell. Favorite track: Gateways of Stone.

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) One of the most impressive feats of 80s inspired tech-thrash and speed metal. So many goddamn riffs, a must get. Favorite track: Beneath... Lives the Impaler.

lenny mccall Just ordered both records and the single on vinyl. My new favorite band!

MetalTillDeath Ripping new tracks. Great live band as well. Awesome dudes that shred, doing it proper with style. Thank you for your music. Stay heavy. All the best.

SHADOW KINGDOM RECORDS is proud to present the devastating follow-up to Horrors of Reality: the highly anticipated second album from Louisiana's VOID, Forbidden Morals, available on CD, vinyl LP, and cassette tape formats.

While many bands have adopted the name VOID, none have emerged from the haunted swamplands of Lafayette, Louisiana - nor have any summoned such raw power, atmosphere, and dark imagination. Since forming in 2021, VOID have carved their path through the underground, first with a string of digital singles, and then with the jaw-dropping self-released debut Horrors of Reality in 2023. That debut was enough to catch the attention of SHADOW KINGDOM, who reissued the record and followed up with the chilling 7", Return of the Phantom.

Now, VOID rises once again with Forbidden Morals, a triumphant second full-length that not only expands their sonic reach but plunges listeners deeper into the gothic, castle-bound nightmare world they inhabit. This album is steeped in a vampiric, medieval atmosphere - echoes of candle-lit corridors, blood-soaked rituals, and iron gates creaking under moonlight—all delivered through a whirlwind of sharp, technical thrash metal. The production is rich and immersive, clear yet crushing, with soaring solos and punishing riffs weaving through each track like a dagger in the dark.

Fans of Return of the Phantom will find the song hauntingly reprised here, anchoring an album that leans even further into epic storytelling and eerie theatrics. With 10 songs across 46 minutes, Forbidden Morals amplifies the touchstones of VOID’s sound - think early Metallica, Mercyful Fate, Annihilator, and cult heroes like Toxik, Realm, and Powermad - yet the band pushes further into their own realm. The musicianship is staggering, the songwriting more daring, and the entire experience feels like a cursed tome opened in some ancient stone chamber.

VOID are no longer the influenced - they're fast becoming the influencers. Forbidden Morals is a blazing torch lit inside a long-forgotten fortress, illuminating the shadowy corridors of metal's past with newfound fire.

The time is NOW for VOID. Enter the gates, embrace the darkness, and let Forbidden Morals consume you.

The Stygian Rose
by Crypt Sermon

supported by 96 fans who also own “Forbidden Morals”

A massive level up in every department: incredibly delicious and spellbinding serpentine melodies, packed with half-step tensions and dissonances resolving into fist-pumping bangers slicker than a pack of butter in an oil spill. Soaring, superbly evocative and musical solos. Hugely strengthened vocals roaring fantastical lyrics. All delivering an impeccably tenebrous, arcane, uh… stygian mood. What a powerhouse. The perfect heavy metal record? I will be scrying this orb for many moons. pinkytheent

Blackbraid I

Blackbraid is a spiritual force in the black metal scene, bringing a unique perspective and culture that was missing until the release of this album. 'Barefoot Ghost Dance on Bloodsoaked Soil' is immensely powerful, showing me that black metal is as strong as ever. 'The River of Time Flows Through Me' is excellent as well, with a crushing melody and unforgettable song title. Hail Sgah'gahsowáh, the new blood of black metal. Obsidian One

The Enduring Spirit
by Tomb Mold

Derrick manages to bring a bit of his Dream Unending urges into Tomb Mold, and with great effect. Every track on this is a winner, but "Will of Whispers" feels the most forward-thinking, mixing melody with heaviness and a near-fusion level of musicianship. My favourite modern death metal album. jcridford
