While Deathconsciousness definitely had it’s better moments, Voids is like most of the more accessible elements of Death, but amplified with more post-punk influence. The first thing one will notice about this is that the songs exist much more on their own it’s easier to listen to them as separate pieces. But, the 2nd disc of Voids should’ve been their 2nd album. They’re also notable for not being the most active band around, considering their two official albums came out six years apart. Joy Division, Slowdive, GY!BE, Nine Inch Nails, Jesu, and various others can all be heard in a glorious wall of noise. Part of what I’ve always really enjoyed about the band is that you can hear so many different bands within their one sound. Dan himself has narrowed their music down to “post-industrial doomgaze”, in a semi-joking way. They made their first official album on a macbook for $1000, half of their releases are bootlegs, Antiochus and Robert Voor both have books written about them, but they don’t exist. The reputation they’ve built over the past decade or so has been something of a legend. Giving an introduction for Have a Nice Life is a difficult task. Note: this is only a review of the b-sides, demos are demos as usual. Review Summary: The 2nd Have a Nice Life album.
