THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, the alchemical collaboration between vocalist Martina Horváth (Thy Catafalque) and composer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Köhnen (Celestial Season, Bong-Ra, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), have released the third and final single from their forthcoming full-length album “Transcendental”, due out on September 26 via Lay Bare Recordings. 

Alongside the new track, titled “Deconstructed”, the band has also unveiled a striking music video, accompanied by the statement: “What we give our time and attention to reflects what we value most. Each moment we offer is a quiet declaration of meaning.“

Rooted in their shared passion for doom in all its forms, Horváth and Köhnen formed THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID to explore the genre’s emotional and existential depths. Their self-styled Transcendental Metal blends doom’s crushing gravity with elements of folk, ambient and electronica – casting a wide, atmospheric net that captures both sonic weight and spiritual introspection.

Lyrically, the band dives deep into the complexities of the human psyche. Themes of inner struggle, psychological transformation, and the hidden architecture of the soul permeate their songs, giving their music a haunting emotional resonance that moves beyond the typical boundaries of metal. The result is a sound that is both soul-crushing and soul-searching.

Following their critically praised debut, “Forlorn” (2021), and the equally compelling “Thou Shalt” (2023), with their new album THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID continue to explore the depths of the human psyche, captivating listeners far beyond the typical boundaries of metal.

Tracklist:

1. Deniers
2. Sine Morbo
3. Love Is A Dog From Hell
4. Senkim
5. The Summoning
6. Shattered By Wisdom
7. Deconstructed
8. Mists Of Krakatoa

“Transcendental” is set for release on September 26 via Lay Bare Recordings and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, the alchemical collaboration between vocalist Martina Horváth (Thy Catafalque) and composer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Köhnen (Celestial Season, Bong-Ra, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), have released the second single from their upcoming third full-length album, “Transcendental”.

Following the first single, “The Summoning,” the band now unveils the brooding & intense track “Sine Morbo”, which is also accompanied by a brand-new music video. This powerful visual work deepens the band’s exploration of existential themes, carrying forward their atmospheric and emotionally charged journey towards the transcendental.

The band offers insight into the song’s meaning: “Sine Morbo [Latin / medical: ‘without disease’] reflects on how our society still tends to see an individual only as a physical form. Sine Morbo written on the paper, while the soul is ill. It is time to condition ourselves to treat the whole – mind, body, and spirit.“

THE ANSWER LIES IN THE BLACK VOID, the alchemical collaboration between vocalist Martina Horváth (Thy Catafalque) and composer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Köhnen (Celestial Season, Bong-Ra, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), have announced their third full-length album, “Transcendental”, set for release on September 26, 2025 via Lay Bare Recordings. 

With the track “The Summoning”, the band has unleashed the first single today. The song is released alongside a brand new video, which you can watch below.

“‘The Summoning’ is the first single from our upcoming album – a bold introduction to the different visions we’re creating. We chose to surprise listeners with an experimental track that sets the tone for how we intend to reshape doom on our own terms, featuring the fierce screams of guest vocalist Laura Brat (Tragic)“, the band comments. “The state of ‘Unus Mundus’-to be one through space and time seems to stay only a fantasy. How could we have a unified reality through cosmos if our society can barely recognise oneself?“

Tracklist:

1. Deniers
2. Sine Morbo
3. Love Is A Dog From Hell
4. Senkim
5. The Summoning
6. Shattered By Wisdom
7. Deconstructed
