 | | Description: | Sessions 1981-83 by Void, released 10 November 2011, includes the following tracks: "Go South", "Controller / Revolt", "Suburbs Suck", "Annoyed" and more.
This version of Sessions 1981-83 comes as a 1xCD. - 2011 collection from the cult Washington, DC-based Punk band. When Void started a song it was as if each member was playing his own parts as fast as humanly possible, but not necessarily together. While to some it may have seemed like complete cacophony, to those in the know it was music on a higher level. While organizing their archive, Dischord came across the four-track of Void's first recording session. It was done with Steve Carr at Hit and Run Studios in November '81 and never officially released. The tape was remixed by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear earlier this year. Sessions 1981-83 features the entire Hit and Run session along with the first Inner Ear demo (including the Flex Your Head cuts and the songs that ended up on the Condensed Flesh 7-inch), two outtakes from their second Inner Ear session (that spawned their legendary split LP with Faith), and a couple of live recordings including one that is almost certainly the last song they ever played."Sessions 81-83 (CD)" by Void is a powerful document of early 1980s American hardcore punk, capturing the raw intensity and creative chaos that made the band a cult legend. Compiling session recordings from the years 1981 to 1983, this CD showcases Void at their most urgent and uncompromising: ultra-fast tempos, jagged guitar riffs, and a vocalist who sounds constantly on the verge of combustion. The sound is abrasive yet surprisingly dynamic, moving from breakneck hardcore attacks to moments of almost metallic density. As an archival collection, it offers a rare, unpolished window into a band whose studio output was limited but hugely influential, especially for later crossover, metalcore and experimental hardcore scenes. The production retains the grit and immediacy of the era, making this release ideal for listeners who want to experience the uncontrolled energy of early D.C.-adjacent hardcore in its most authentic form.
Void occupy a special place in punk history as one of the most extreme and forward-pushing bands of the early U.S. hardcore movement. Emerging at the dawn of the 1980s, they became known for their frantic live performances and a sonic approach that blurred the lines between hardcore punk and heavy, almost chaotic metal elements. While their official discography is relatively small, their material on classic compilations and split releases has long been celebrated among genre devotees, and many later bands cite them as a key inspiration for pushing hardcore into more aggressive and experimental territories. Their legacy rests on intensity rather than polish, and "Sessions 81-83 (CD)" underlines exactly why Void's short but explosive career still resonates decades later.
The CD format of this release offers a focused listening experience that brings together rare or hard-to-find session tracks into a coherent whole. For collectors, it provides an essential companion to the band's better-known recordings, filling in gaps and revealing alternate takes, early versions, or otherwise unavailable material from a crucial developmental phase. For newcomers, it functions as a vivid introduction to Void's distinct sound: a collision of speed, distortion and sheer emotional volatility. Carefully sequenced and mastered from archival sources, it preserves the raw edges that define the genre while giving the recordings a clarity that makes every frantic drum fill and jagged guitar line stand out.
