INHERITS THE VOID
The Silent Abscission T-Shirt

Inherits The Void is the musical endeavor of French multi-instrumentalist Antoine Scholtès. Born in 2020, the project based in Clermont-Ferrand released the Mémoires EP before starting to work on a proper full-length studio album.

Monolith Of Light hence marks Inherits The Void debut album, born from Scholtès’s desire for “a meeting between influences from the ‘90s Swedish Black Metal scene and a more current orientation of the genre”. Rage and melody entwine in these seven hymns to the transience of man, bringing to mind the great masterworks of Dissection, Dawn and Vinterland, as well as the more contemporary sounds of France.

Inherits The Void adds to their deep black metal roots, incorporating atmospheric hints from bands like Celeste, Déluge and Nesseria: “the main idea behind that album was to compose songs that would be both melodic and atmospheric, embraced by the desire to propose a range of various emotions”.

French one-man melodic black metal band Inherits The Void is back with the third studio album in four years. Fifteen months after the acclaimed The Impending Fall Of The Stars, multi-instrumentalist A is back with a brand-new studio record.
As introduced by Inherits The Void mastermind A. himself, “Scars Of Yesteryears is a melodic black metal album which embodies the artistic choices initiated with its predecessor. However, Scars Of Yesteryears is more diverse in its musical influences, while wanting to be more direct and incisive in its musical approach. In this, the album draws its inspiration from both the Swedish and French Black Metal scenes with the aim of combining the stylistic visions specific to each universe.
The eight songs that follow one another in the album reflect a now more enterprising crossover between Atmospheric/Melodic Black Metal and early Melodic Death Metal, combining also more epic and doomy parts than in the past.
The theme of the album deals with the legacy left by past and present societies, whether through struggles, revolutions or even through the traces that we ourselves leave and which, themselves, lead to the destruction of our environment”.
Doubtlessly Inherits The Void’s most diverse and mature work to date, Scars Of Yesteryears succeeds in paying homage to the godfathers of the Swedish death and black metal scene, yet keeping a personal, present sound and never giving in to mere nostalgia. 

Formed in 2020 by AS, Inherits The Void is a French project of atmospheric and melodic black metal, inspired by the frozen visions of Vinterland, the incantatory fury of Misþyrming, and the melodic intensity of Dawn.

Since its inception, the project has explored the tension between melody and atmosphere, blending emotional intensity with celestial melancholy. Through several releases - Monolith of Light (2021), The Impending Fall of the Stars (2023), Scars of Yesteryears (2024), all released via Avantgarde Music - Inherits The Void has established itself as a singular voice within the modern French black metal scene.

The Silent Abscission, the fourth Inherits The Void studio album, is a true turning point: a concept album about erasure, cosmic implosion, and isolation. Conceived as a journey through eight visions, it moves between incantatory convulsions and silent abysses, leading to an inevitable and overwhelming resolution. Like the collision of celestial bodies, the music whirls, riffs lash, dissonances burn, and harmonies collapse into silence. A total black metal experience, where matter and spirit are consumed within the same incantation, standing at the frontier between despair and eternity.
