Void of Silence is a doom metal band from Italy, formed in 1999 by Riccardo Conforti and Ivan Zara. They combine the pace, distortion, and bass-heaviness of funeral doom metal with the grim atmosphere of dark ambient music.

History

They both come from different Italian underground worlds: Riccardo Conforti was the Oblivion's drummer and he is still the SYRION’s mind, Dark/Ambient project for which he make a name of himself during the period of 1998-1999 with the issue of two works and Ivan Zara was the Mystical Realms and Oblivion's guitar player. Toward the dusk is the first work as Void of Silence (after a mini CD never distributed for choice of the same members due to a wrong production), composed between November 1999 and June 2000 and in this period Malfeitor Fabban joined the band as vocalist.
