I gave it a try and I got “Void Architects,” which pretty good, but  I thought “Architects of the Void” sounded better. So good that there is no way that a band isn’t called that. So I did search on Bandcamp, and I ended up on  Behold! The Monolith’s page. Their latest album being called “Architects of the Void.”

I don’t dally go for the super growly vocals, but they work on this track. They are more or less texture, another level of sound.  Other tracks from the album don’t fair as well (more me) with the vocals basically becoming exactly what I don’t like about growling. 

Umbral Vale probably isn’t the best representation of the album as a whole. Its shorter and sludgier than most of the album and lacks real vocals, which is probably why its my stand out track.
