Emptiness

about

There are multiple artists with this name: 1) Emptiness is a death metal band from Belgium. The group was founded in 1998 by Nerath Daemon (lead guitar/vocals, Enthroned) and Phorgath (lead vocals/bass, also in Hybrid Viscery and Sons of Jonathas).

This lead to a label signing with Witching Hour Records, who re-released the first demo and the new songs as a bonus second demo called Necrorgy in 2002. The band changed their line-up for the first time with drummer Khapth leaving, and guitarist Naerguth over the direction of the band. These were quickly replaced by Glaurung (drums) and Phil (rhythm guitar, ex-Manic Movement). This new line-up released the band's debut full-length album Guilty to Exist, in 2004 with guest vocals by Lord Sabathan (Enthroned) helping them, on Painkiller Records. This album was a compilation of the two former demos and 5 new songs added with the new-line up which showed maturity within the musicianship and showmanship within the songs but still had the quick edge like in t
