"Treading the line between indie rock and classic prog isn't an easy thing to do, but Beardfish execute their mantra and then some on The Void." - Ytsejam.com (5/5)
"Beardfish have evolved, not altered, and given time, even those cowering in the corner at the sight of a distortion pedal will be seduced by the charms of The Void." - SeaOfTranquility.org (4.5/5)
"Sounding no less dexterous or subtle in its shadings than Beardfish's previous albums, it is the most adrenalized and rough-hewn album from them yet." - About.com Heavy Metal (3.5/5)
Less than two years after the release of their last record, the critically-acclaimed Mammoth, BEARDFISH have returned with a new masterpiece, THE VOID, which is out today via InsideOut Music. The album is darker and heavier, and in some parts even has a bit of a metal edge to it, while still incorporating all that BEARDFISH and their warm retro-sound have come to represent.
"We went full-on with this one... We've had some trouble in the past conveying our live energy on the studio albums. This is the one that shines through! It's an album about loss. It's about love. It celebrates both life and death and the struggle in between to heal the wounds that don't show and to actually take the step to move forward in life. We've been waiting to share these songs with all of you for a while now and we, Beardfish, are really proud to present to you 'The Void'."
