Forming The Void release new song ‘Manifest’

FORMING THE VOID have released a new song!

The new song, titled Manifest, is taken from the American progressive doom metal band’s upcoming new album, Reverie, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Ripple Music.

Speaking about the new song, the band says, Manifest is about having a passion, having a purpose, then going to war with it. It features an Oud intro. The Oud is a fretless Middle Eastern lute which is an early ancestor of the guitar. Since our first album we have wanted to incorporate one in a recording, and the droning yet melodic qualities of this song made it a natural fit. This song went through many stages of evolution from its early stages to its final form, and it embodies much of what we intended to achieve artistically on the album.”
