Riccardo Conforti (Drums, keyboards, and semplers) and Ivan Zara (Guitar and bass) constituted VOID OF SILENCE with the intention of create music that would be the perfect union among its different influences: the one Dark/Ambient with gothic and industrial junction for the first one, and the one Doom/Metal oppressive of the second one. They both come from different Italian underground worlds: Riccardo Conforti was the Oblivion's drummer and he's still the SYRION's mind, Dark/Ambient project for which he make a name of himself during the period of 98-'99 with the issue of two works and Ivan Zara was the Mystical Realms and Oblivion's guitar player. Toward the Dusk is the first work as Void of Silence (after a mini CD never distributed for choice of the same members due to a wrong production), composed between November '99 and June 2000 and in this period Malfeitor Fabban joined the band as vocalist. From April 2001 Void of Silence are under Code666 label. Between August 2000- November 2001 VoS composed the second album called Criteria Ov 666out in February 2002 for Code666. After the split with old vocalist, Void of Silence recorded two new songs for Code666 compilation out in September 2002. In September 2002 Alan Nemtheanga (Primordial) joined the band as new vocalist. (Source: Official Site) "After 11 years since we started this adventure, after 6 years since the band started its official activities and after three album released together as VOID OF SILENCE, we decided to put an end to this band. We took this decision with sadness and bitterness, also we must admit we yet reached our initial goal. We would like to thank our worlwide fans, those who always trusted us and those who supported us along the way. A special thank to Fabban and Alan Nemtheanga, who gave us the possibility to release such incredible albums and to the whole code666 staff, always supportive towards our music. A great hail also to our old friends Andrea Toro, Alessandro Bianchi, Riccardo Tran and Fabio Restano, who were beside us in the beginning. We are not leaving the musical scene, just we will wear different dresses and walk different ways, together as usual. Maybe one day things will run in a different way, who knows... Bye and thanx to all" Riccardo Conforti and Ivan Zara.
