Void Key Recordings

The tape just caught a thunderstorm. Thinking about the ionised air and the chernobyl fires tonight, while the rain rages. #doommetal #dronemusic #cassettes #chernobyl #thunderstorms

Radiant Eulogy II [vkr006re2] - Out Now.🔈🔉🔊 RADIANT EULOGY II [VKR006RE2], the second release of the Radiant Eulogy series: a single, monumental track from destroying our releases, in this case our album Wicked Zen (2020). This is not a studio recording; it is the entombement of a dying medium. The master tape for Wicked Zen was left exposed to the sun for months. The relentless UV radiation and thermal cycling caused the magnetic oxide to chemically fracture and the tape binder to disintegrate. The result is a sound that cannot be synthesized: a dense, tectonic drone where the band's heavy riffs are buried under the unpredictable, high-frequency crackle of a physical signal collapsing in real-time. We have captured this moment of decay and re-digitized it, preserving the exact texture of the sun-scorched tape as a journey into the sonic aftermath of entropy to honour the medium's original fragility. In this case, the first 15 minutes were the only part that was really left in one bit and these minutes are the parts of the cassette, which we were able to save for the redigitalization. After that the empty parts and sunburnt cassette return to a "ghost" state for which we switched the pedalboard on to increase the intensity of the dying recording. Even some older recordings on the cassette seem to "shine through" this time. #dronemusic #tape #radiation #sunno #doommetal

Cooking up another tape on the teapot of decay. Hopefully ready in a few weeks/month. 🫖💀 #cassette #tape #dronemusic #doommetal #bandcamp

Never used an ebow on a tape before. Damn. 🔨 Preparing a eulogy for next friday. Look to bandcamp on the 5th morning! 🧙🏻‍♂️ #dronemusic #doommetal #cassette #pedalboard #newmusic

All they had to do is give us enough to live. Death to all kings. New stickers on the way with our reworked logo + the torch design by crazy @redbloodink_

OUT NOW. Introducing RADIANT EULOGY I [VKR003RE1], the inaugural release of the Radiant Eulogy series: a single, monumental track from destroying our releases, in this case our drone EP Shi No Shinkū 死の真空. This is not a studio recording; it is the entombement of a dying medium. The master tape for Shi No Shinkū 死の真空 was left exposed to the sun for three months. The relentless UV radiation and thermal cycling caused the magnetic oxide to chemically fracture and the tape binder to disintegrate. The result is a sound that cannot be synthesized: a dense, tectonic drone where the band's heavy riffs are buried under the unpredictable, high-frequency crackle of a physical signal collapsing in real-time. We have captured this moment of decay and re-digitized it, preserving the exact texture of the sun-scorched tape as a journey into the sonic aftermath of entropy to honour the medium's original fragility. #dronemusic #tapeloop #cassette #newmusic #doommetal

Drone doom is dirty hand craft. We are in the process of destroying some tapes through radiation and clumsy hands to possibly use them as samples later. Might take another few months. Let this be a reminder for us all that things you love need time to grow, or in this case time and work to decay. #doommetal #frequency #tape #doom #diy
