MUTOID MAN – Call of the Void

Mutoid Man is an American heavy metal band formed in 2012 in Brooklyn, New York City by Cave In vocalist/guitarist Stephen Brodsky, Converge drummer Ben Koller and bassist Nick Cageao (with High on Fire bassist Jeff Matz replacing Cageao in 2021). They have released one EP and two studio albums to date. AllMusic described their sound as metalcore but noted that it engages not just with hardcore punk and heavy metal but also rock and roll, math rock, progressive rock, and psychedelic music. Pitchfork celebrated their debut album Bleeder for “[embracing] both numbskull hard rock and cerebral progressive metal, at a time when the two approaches have become almost mutually exclusive in heavy music.”

Gone Gone inside a wind Where there once was eyes Now there’s empty holes Hell Hell resides within Looking to surprise All the helpless souls

We must avoid Call of the void Calling out to us We must avoid Call of the void Turning us to dust

Close Close up to the blast Hang onto your heads It’s a real shitshow Pain Pain is here at last Time to take your meds Moving on we go

We must avoid Call of the void Calling out to us We must avoid Call of the void Turning us to dust

Hurry up and die This is just another lie Hell awaits you now All that I believe is how

We must avoid Call of the void Calling out to us We must avoid Call of the void Turning us to dust
