LP vinyl version of the Luttenbacher's 2004 full length.

2004's The Void is another concept album from The Flying Luttenbachers, one which continues to follow Weasel Walter's ongoing saga of post-apocalyptic robot civilizations and predatory planetoids. Following up te Xenakis-inspired Systems Emerge From Complete Disorder, which Weasel composed and performed all by himself, The Void now finds him transplanted to the Bay Area and joined by Gorge Trio guitarist (and former Iceburn member) Ed Rodriquez and Burmese bassist Mike Green. Back with a full band lineup, the Luttenbachers sound veers away from the clinical hypercomposition of the previous album, and back to the frantic, visceral sound of the 'Satanic power-trio' Luttenbachers that was responsible for the seminal 90's albums Revenge and Gods Of Chaos. Opening with a glitchy musique concrete intro, the band launches into seven instrumental sections entitled 'The Void', racing through brutal minimalist blasts of grim, dissonant no wave fused to black metal, blasting drums, and complex arrangements. Rodriquez emits spiky, pointilist feedback squeals and attacks, while Green lays down doomy, plodding basslines that make this one of the darkest Luttenbachers albums yet. The final track is the only non-'Void' track, titled 'Sword of Atheism', a harrowing drone/dirge that erupts into ultra heavy chaotic drumming, churning bass thunder and slicing no wave riffs. I love it when Luttenbachers kicks into "thrash mode", and this album is the band at their thrashiest and most feral. Killer shit, and a crucial entry in the Luttenbacher's monstrous discography. The Void comes in a full color case with four-panel booklet.
