You can watch the video for There Is No Freedom But The End here: https://youtu.be/QypQrrzBZJE
Front man Lars Nedland comments:
“Sometimes all we need to feel alive is a drive on a lonely road towards Neon Hell.
‘There Is No Freedom But The End’ is all about contrasts. Light and darkness. Life and death. Rural endlessness and urban loneliness. Monochrome despair and neon panic.
It’s also a song for driving: Music to accompany the freedom movement sometimes makes us feel.
The video was created to capture all this. It’s Drive on LSD and Lost Highway exploding into Neon Urbanity.
You want some colour in your life? Here you go!“

| “White Void will hopefully get the focus they deserve for this absurdly good debut.” – Kerrang (UK) “White Void’s Anti’s is a whirlwind ride around metal, occult rock and psychedelia.” – Metal Hammer (UK) “Exciting debut and hopefully more than a short-lived fun project!” – Metal Hammer (DE) “(Anti is)… a seething miasma of concepts, nagging hooks and dark, unrelenting power.” – Classic Rock (UK) “If you’re floating through the rock cosmos with your ears wide open WHITE VOID are a band that demands to be discovered!” – Rock Hard (DE) “Intellectual, startling, and original, ‘Anti’ is the start of something special.” – Fistful of Metal (UK) |
WHITE VOID is absence of direction and sense in life. It’s a description of the fundamental disharmony between the individual’s search for meaning and the meaninglessness of the universe.
Eclectic hard rockers WHITE VOID are a curious bunch. Forged in the space between the occult rock of the seventies, the no-excuses-hard rock of the eighties and the British New Wave movement, they balance on the event horizon that separates old from new. Aggression from melody. Dream from drive.
Add to that the fact that the bandmembers of WHITE VOID have their backgrounds in Norwegian black metal, chiptune electronica, pop music and blues, and you’ll see why Anti is an album that’s hard to pin down. It’s darkly melodic, it’s driven, and it’s infused with earworms, hooks and licks. Boasting a shameless attitude, though, it comes forth as deeply true to the core of our shared hard rock heritage.
In the center of WHITE VOID stands Lars Are Nedland, long time member of BORKNAGAR and SOLEFALD. Leading a team of musicians including Tobias Solbakk of IHSAHN fame, electronica staple Vegard Kummen and blues rock virtuoso Eivind Marum, he navigates the waters of hard rock riffs, new wave harmonies and blues rock solos with determination and elegance.
Still, Anti probably doesn’t sound like you think. It’s an album riddled with contrasts and references, musically as well as philosophically. The concept is based on Albert Camus’ Absurdism and deals with how you cope with an existence that is in its core absurd. Musically it draws on the past while forging towards the future. And the result? Well, enter the Void to find out!
