The blend of sounds Void’s Last Stand produces isn’t for everyone. It’s definitely progressive rock, but it is often a bit abrasive, along the lines of RIO. Still, it’s a sound that is really unique in the world of progressive rock. There’s no way you’ve ever heard another band that sounds like this. It’s creative and powerful music by musicians who show that they’ve got a lot of talent. Whether this is your cup of tea or not, there’s no denying that talent.

A psychedelic prog sound opens this. The vocals bring weirdness ala Gong. The music modulates out to fairly traditional progressive rock, but the vocals definitely maintain this in the weird music category. They also include some noisy, banging type of psychedelic prog. Sometimes the vocals even make me think of The Dead Kennedys and the music here seems to meander along the lines of progressive rock, fusion and jam band sounds. In addition to the weirdness brought by most of the vocals, there’s even a section that sounds like a goat. This is certainly strange and not for everyone. It is, however, always interesting and certainly adventurous. Around the seven minute mark there’s a section with Robert Calvert like vocals and guitar soaring overhead. More musical weirdness emerges after that. Later on we’re taken to something a bit like the stranger side of Pentwater.
