On this episode of the Adventures of Pipeman, Voiicide from the band Ethereal Void talks about their music with Pipeman. Ethereal Void's music is dark and about entropy and the end of everything. While some people label their music as progressive death metal, Voiicide says that they play groovy death metal. They are not like other death metal bands that sound the same. Instead, they have their unique sound with a flow to their songs. The musicianship and the vocals give the band its unique identity. The conversation then shifts to the music industry and the difficulties that musicians face. Voiicide talks about how the industry has become more of a social media game, and musicians are expected to have a large following on social media. However, building a following is not easy, especially for bands that are just starting. Voiicide also talks about the importance of having a good team, including a good manager and booking agent, to help musicians navigate the industry. Pipeman and Voiicide also discuss the importance of playing live shows, as that is where bands make most of their money. With the pandemic, live shows have been cancelled or postponed, which has affected many musicians' incomes. Voiicide talks about how they have been dealing with the pandemic and the impact it has had on the band. He also talks about how they have been using this time to work on new music and improve their skills. Ethereal Void have Facebook page although they don’t do much posting. If you want to keep up with what they’re putting out you should check out Abstracted Records, which is where you can find the CD God’s of the Dead World Pipeman gives a teaser about the brand new single from the band called Pyschosomatic. He also brings up his dislike for putting heavy music into boxes of Sub-Genres, although Voyucide does like the enjoy of different sub-genres, and discusses how fans describe them as progressive metal. He just considers them to be groovy death metal. He then goes into detail about the subject matter of their music, how it involves entropy and the literal end of everything, which is different than traditional death metal which involves general undertones dealing with death. Pipeman talks about how all death metal bands sound exactly the same. When he listens to the genre he wants to be able to know what band he is listening by hearing it. Ethereal void plays with two amazing and talented guitarists, and they aren't a fan of creating a lot of backing tracks on the computer because it is hard to re-create that in a live show. Voyucide also discusses how much easier it is to play as a three piece band as opposed to having 8 or 9 members like slipknot. In his opinion, the less input and influences you have to pull from the better the fininshed product will be. Discussing how sometimes egos can get in the way. If you have a lot of strong personalities in a band it would either be a huge cluster fuck or nothing would ever get done due to the clashing of personalities. Discussing the opinion that if Dave Mustaine had stayed in Megadeth that nothing would have gotten done and that no one would have ever heard of them due to having so much ego in the room. Rush was a great example of an amazing three piece band that they couldn't see being in any other band. The amount of mutual respect they have for each other really shows in the music that they record.
