Void of Silence is a doom metal band from Italy formed in 1999 by Riccardo Conforti (Drums, keyboards, and samplers) and Ivan Zara (Guitar and bass) with the intention of creating music that would be the perfect union among its different influences: the one Dark/Ambient with gothic and industrial junction for the first one, and the one doom metal oppressive of the second one.
