Void Chapter returns with fierce new alt-metal single 'Diabolic' (feat. Daedric), the next track to appear on the upcoming FiXT: Radium compilation.
Brutal straight from the beginning "Diabolic" wastes no time pulling out all the stops with an aggressive screaming vocal performance from contemporary rock and metal powerhouse Daedric. Coupled with provoking lyrics, layered over thrashing guitars, and intense rhythms and following Void Chapter's previous formula of epic storytelling through song, "Diabolic" picks up the dark tale of a world under the control of an unmerciful A.I. maintaining its grip on humanity and our day to day lives.
"'Diabolic' explores the use of The Sprawl A.I.’s tactics that keeps The Taken running on their pre-programmed routes, without question or longing for their humanity," explains Void Chapter. "These methods help to keep them hyper-focused on the mindset that everything is fine, and they are building a better world for the greater good. The risks are low of individuals malfunctioning and allowing bits of fear and doubt to resurface within their psyche - but when it does happen - the awakening begins. Kristyn Hope (Daedric) skillfully captures the pure angst and roller coaster of emotions presented in this story arc - as the barrage of heavy guitars, cutting synths and powerful rhythms whip through your psyche - will you break the hold?"
"Diabolic" (feat. Daedric) is out now from independent multi-genre label FiXT.

The origins of Void Chapter can be traced back to 2006 during the Take It And Break It remix competition for Celldweller, which served as a catalyst for the members’ individual careers. Brian and Otto met in the remix community and discovered they had an affinity for heavy music, synthesizers, and sound design. They would work on many projects together throughout the years and even land a few major movie trailers and tv placements with their music.
Otto was also very involved in the Propellerhead Reason Community, where he met Adam, who enthusiastically shared similar interests with the other two. It wasn’t long before the three started making music collectively for trailer and production libraries.
Over time, the collective became an outlet to create original artist material, complete with its own universe and lore. This was the beginning of Void Chapter, and the inception of a world made complete with music, sound design, and storytelling. "The Sprawl", written by Adam, tells of a dystopian refuge decimated by corruption and war, and seemingly eternal hardship. "The Uprising", written by Brian and Otto, is the soundtrack to the war itself, and the conflict between nefarious kings and their consequential resistance.
Today, Void Chapter is a powerhouse of three talented producers coming together with the purpose of creating intense, concept-driven, genre-bending music with corresponding world-building and narrative. A new, full-length album is currently being produced by Void Chapter and is slated to be released in early 2023.
Daedric is an audacious creative venture from Dallas/Fort Worth-based vocalist and artist, Kristyn Hope. Daedric draws inspiration from an eclectic array of sources including David Bowie, Anthony Green of Circa Survive, Sia, and the popular open-world role-playing game series Elder Scrolls, from which the Daedric name is derived.
In her own words, “It’s a cool ass name and I like villains.”
As Daedric, Kristyn works closely with producers Geoff Rockwell and Clay Schroeder to develop a mix of contemporary rock and metal, with vocals that range from ethereal to brutal, to forge a powerful sound that is uniquely her own.
Kristyn launched the Daedric project in 2021 through a partnership with electronic rock label FiXT. Since launching Daedric has released “Wretched,” "Sepulchre," and "Dawnbreaker," as well as appearing on an enigmatic metalcore cover of "The Rumbling" from Andromida with each new single showcasing Daedric's songwriting capabilities and establishing Daedric as a fiery new act to watch.
