VOID VATOR brings their massive metal to RIPPLE MUSIC
High-adrenaline Los
Angeles metal four-piece to release new album in 2020,
debuts celebratory new single "Nitrus" today via Riff Relevant
Ripple Music, following the"can't stop, won't
stop" philosophy of churning out untouchable heavy music, has signed Los
Angeles metal quartet Void Vator, a band who merge elements of classic,
rapid-fire American metal with the massive, chunky riffs and thick tones of
today's best stoner rock, all topped with utterly infectious, singable vocal
hooks that make for an unforgettable blend of heaviness.
Formed in December of 2014, Void Vator built their approach
on hard-hitting rock riffage rather than the stoned vibes of many of their
peers, and quickly developed a reputation as a take-no-prisoners live act.
Following the creation of debut EP, Dehumanized (July, 2017) with Grammy-nominated producer
Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Deftones, Metalocalypse) and 2018's Stranded EP, produced
by the world-renowned Bill Metoyer (Slayer, DRI, Bodycount), along with
countless tours, the band are ready to take the metal world by storm heading
into 2020.
On joining forces with Ripple Music, Void Vator guitarist
Erik Kluiber (ex-Gypsyhawk) says:
"Ripple Music has been on my radar for years, ever
since they signed Mothership in 2013.
Once Void Vator started touring and releasing music, we were on the
lookout for a label that was interested in promoting and working new rock music.
After building our reputation and both proving and improving
Void Vator's live show on the road, we won the confidence and respect of mutual
friends of Ripple Music who put in a good word for us.
[Ripple CEO] Todd Severin and I got in touch after the Void
Vator "Skeleton Crew" tour of Spring 2019. He expressed excitement regarding our
approach to rock music and old school road work ethic. I told him of the band's desire to partner a
fair deal with a forward-thinking label whose primary focus is pushing new
music in the rock genre.
Void Vator worked out a fair no frills contract with Todd
and Ripple Music in the best interest of both parties. We're excited for what the future holds in
our new partnership.
Our first single with Ripple Music is a rework of Dick
Dale's "Nitrus" as a summertime teaser for the forthcoming
album. "Nitrus" is a hidden
gem that was a banger on the road, showcasing the upbeat high energy, guitar
theatrics, and good times approach that Void Vator has become known for across
the country.
Please enjoy this summertime wave ripper and have a drink
with us this August when Void Vator tours the West Coast with the legendary
Slough Feg and Sanhedrin."
Void Vator's rendition of "Nitrus" is now
streaming here at Riff Relevant, and will be available as a pay-what-you-want
download via the Ripple Bandcamp as of this Friday, July 20th, and via all
major streaming services.
And look for news on Void Vator's forthcoming album soon!
