Atmospheric sounding synths start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Clean playing is also added into certain sections of the recording while a great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and both clear vocals and children choirs can also be heard on a few songs.
Harsh vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the album more of a raw feeling. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts, spoken words are also introduced on a later track.
Vide plays a style of black metal that is very atmospheric, aggressive and modern sounding. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in French and cover introspection, reflection and melancholic themes.
In my opinion Vide are a very great sounding atmospheric black metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Hymne au vide" and "Messe des ruines - Testament". 8 out of 10.
