White Void is a Norwegian hard rock project launched in 2020, led by Lars Nedland — keyboardist and vocalist of Borknagar and Solefald — with a lineup that includes Ihsahn drummer Tobias Solbakk. The band's debut Anti (2021) synthesized 1970s stoner rock, 1980s new wave, and hard rock into a streamlined, riff-forward sound that sidestepped the progressive ambitions of Nedland's other projects. Released through Nuclear Blast, the record drew comparisons to vintage occult rock while remaining rooted in direct, groove-driven songwriting.
Progressive/groove metal band from Constanța, Romania active since 2011. White Walls blends progressive ambition with groove metal's rhythmic power from the Black Sea port city.
