Out of the Void

A Canadian heavy metal band formed in Chatham, Ontario, March 2017 by guitar players Gord Dillon and Joe Babcock. The band’s sound has been described as a combination of some of the early metal genres (i.e. NWOBHM, Doom Metal, Thrash Metal) combined with an early 90's flavour (i.e. Epic Metal, Power Metal). Out of the Void (OOTV) are heavily influenced by the late 70’s and early 80’s metal scenes with a tinge of early to mid 80’s thrash thrown in for good measure. The concept for OOTV has existed for close to 30 years in one form or another. Early on names for the band morphed from “Titan” to “Even Flow” to “Tip of the Spear” until “Out of the Void” seemed to take hold. Gord took on lead vocals for the band which was not the original plan but these two guitarists lacked someone to put a voice to the music. Joe Babcock convinced Gord to just give it a try and see where it goes and the rest is history. Gord would describe his vocal style as simply “…just getting it done”. Joe plays leads and perfects and mixes all of the music you hear . Also, showing up from the Void, every once in a while, are two mysterious characters, D.E. Athearly (Drums) and Blitz Krieg (Bass). It is said they are from the ether but D.E. seems to have some type of control over Blitz. When you see one the other is not far behind. Both character fill in on bass and drums through a series of talented friends of the band.
