Mastiff release new song ‘Void’

MASTIFF have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Void, is taken from the Hull-based blackened sludge metal band’s upcoming new album, Deprecipice, which is scheduled to be released in March this year.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist James Lee says, “Void might not fall in the literal middle of Deprecipice, but in many ways it acts as a thematic centrepiece, both musically and lyrically. There’s a strong CONVERGE influence in the guitars for sure, and we wanted it to have a ragged, almost punk sound that gradually evolves into this monstrous, lurching breakdown. Dan and Joe (Clayton, producer) then worked on washing the song over with some nasty, unsettling electronic noise that gives it this really queasy vibe.

For a good while we had the music finished but hadn’t landed on a lyric, but then in the few weeks between the initial album tracking and Jim’s vocal session my mother passed away after a short but brutal battle with lung cancer, and this song ended up becoming the outlet for all of the pain and grief I had spilling out of me. To suddenly not have that safety net of the person who created you, for them to just be gone with nothing to take their place, it really did feel like a void opened in my chest, and this song was my humble attempt to put that feeling into words.”

Deprecipice is set for release on March 22nd via MNRK Heavy. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
