voltra demands attention with their long-awaited latest single, “LONE VOID.” Indeed, after nearly three years since his last release, voltra re-introduces themselves with a markedly different sound. “LONE VOID” unveils the same impeccable sound design, but in different genres than the industrial, experimental brutality of voltra’s previous sound. A futuristic cinematic intro slowly grows into a grand technicolor crescendo. “LONE VOID” then drops into minimalistic, lurching bass before morphing into a twinkling galactic tunnel. This sonic experience rushes and twists around you before abruptly transforming into gabber, an intense and pounding hybrid of techno and hardstyle. Listeners are blown away by “LONE VOID” and people everywhere celebrate and praise this fresh release from voltra.
