Vanessa Funke - Void (2024) Hi-Res

A one-woman multi-instrumentalist out of Germany, Vanessa Funke has made a name for herself by venturing into murky, boundaryless sonic landscapes, exploring the limits of melodic death metal through forays with progressive, gothic, and neofolk textures. However, her newest album, “Void,” represents a regeneration of structure and heaviness, that in her own words, focuses on cultivating atmosphere and feeling and returns to the roots of her symphonically-minded blackened death sound. Functioning, then, as a unique synthesis of her growth as an artist, “Void” deftly navigates its emotional odyssey through dense, thoughtful passages. Funke describes the record as “a pensive but impassioned exploration of emptiness,” a project who’s “compositionally dense yet melodically resonant” craftsmanship is immediately apparent from the first track. This virtuosic epiphany is within reach– “Void” is available digitally or on tape, releasing July 12th.
