Seventh Void was a doom metal ensemble from the United States, comprising vocalist and guitarist Kenny Hickey alongside drummer Johnny Kelly—both previously associated with Type O Negative—guitarist Matt Brown, who had experience with Uranium 235 and A Pale Horse Named Death, and bassist Hank Hell from Inhuman.
History
The project originated in 2003 through the collaboration of Kenny and Johnny, with the full roster solidified by 2005 when they commenced songwriting activities. The band's name is inspired by a phrase found in Dante's Inferno.
Their first studio release, Heaven Is Gone, was issued in April 2009 across North America under Vinnie Paul's Big Vin Records label, followed by a European and UK distribution in November 2010 via Napalm Records. In October 2011, Matt Brown exited the group.
On March 1, 2015, the band revealed that work on a follow-up album was underway, with numerous tracks already composed. Drummer Johnny Kelly later confirmed the album's completion and projected its release for late 2017 or sometime in 2018. The addition of former Agnostic Front guitarist Joseph James and a keyboardist indicated a stylistic transition reminiscent of Type O Negative, which may have led to discussions about adopting a new band name.
By 2017, Seventh Void had dissolved, with members moving forward to establish a new musical endeavor known as Silvertomb.
