Hardcore punk

Void is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Minor Threat and Black Sabbath. Those roots explain a lot about how Void arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Faith, The Teen Idles, Gang Green, Minor Threat and Reagan Youth, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dischord Records, Bane, My War and White Zombie, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 15 connections around Void, reaching back through Minor Threat and forward to Dischord Records.

Background

Void was an American hardcore punk band formed in Columbia, Maryland, in 1980. The group was a pioneering force in the thriving Washington, D.C., hardcore scene during the early 1980s, successfully combining elements of punk with heavy metal in a style that was accepted by the scene's otherwise exclusive community. Void's punk metal fusion sound was marked by guitarist Bubba Dupree's innovative guitar work and the "unhinged" vocals of John Weiffenbach, which resonated in the band's chaotic but popular live performances. Like many of their contemporaries, Void had a short-lived recording career, limited to the split album Faith/Void Split with the Faith, and three tracks on the Flex Your Head compilation LP, both released by Dischord Records. However, they have enjoyed an enduring cult following among hardcore aficionados.
