Pre-orders are now open via Crime Records

Crime Records is proud to announce the upcoming release of Call of the Void, the third studio album from acclaimed Irish progressive metal project The Vicious Head Society.

Led by guitarist, songwriter, and producer Graham Keane, The Vicious Head Society returns with a deeply personal and emotionally charged new album that explores identity, struggle, renewal, and the difficult search for meaning in the face of darkness.

Moving away from the broader societal themes of earlier releases, Call of the Void turns inward. The album follows the fading embers of a personal cycle, confronting the slow pull of losing one’s purpose while capturing the tension between resistance and surrender with striking honesty.

Musically, Call of the Void preserves the project’s signature combination of technical precision, progressive ambition, soaring melody, and crushing heaviness. Intricate arrangements, atmospheric passages, and moments of stark beauty come together to create a dynamic and human album from an artist pushing through the darkness toward clarity.

The album features Graham Keane on guitars and synths, joined by Klemen Markelj on drums, Nathan Max on vocals, Matheus Manente on bass, and Nahuel Ramos on synth solos. Additional contributions come from Paul Phillips, Pat Byrne, Alec Noonan, Wilmer Waarbroek, Bertrand Juve, and Sareeta.

Written and produced by Graham Keane, mixed and mastered by Matheus Manente, with artwork and design by Jon Isaac Gutman, Call of the Void stands as a powerful statement from The Vicious Head Society and further solidifies the project’s place in the modern progressive metal scene.

Call of the Void will be available on Digipak CD, Gatefold Double LP, digital streaming, and digital download. The vinyl edition will be released as a limited hand-numbered Blue with Black sparkles Gatefold Double LP.
