The project underwent many transformations as it evolved. Void Vision functioned as a duo consisting of Shari and Hayden Payne, who later left after the recording of their first 7" vinyl 'In 20 Years' on Blind Prophet Records to pursue his project, Dream Affair. Shari continues on presently recording and performing as Void Vision. In 2013 the band toured the West Coast and released a split 12" with Vice Device (Portland) on Accident Prone Records and the full length entitled 'Sub Rosa' was released in early 2014 on Mannequin Records.
Shari Vari is also a member of the band Hot Guts.

Hidden Hand
Void Vision Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The legacy they left behind
A bloody trail you'll never find
The hidden hand, the hidden hand
Pale white, leprous as the snow
Pale white, leprous as the snow
Marks the places where we stand
Shapes the surface of the land
The hidden hand, the hidden hand
Pale white, leprous as the snow
Pale white, leprous as the snow
In Void Vision's song "Hidden Hand," the lyrics speak of tracing the faces down the line to discover the legacy that they left behind. However, the trail they left behind is a bloody one that cannot be seen. This hints at the idea that those in power often leave a trail of destruction and chaos, but are able to conceal it from the public eye. The chorus speaks of a hidden hand that is responsible for shaping the surface of the land where our troubles all began. This may be referring to the idea that those in power have control over the systems and structures that govern our society, and their actions have profound effects on our lives, ultimately leading to the troubles we face today.
Furthermore, the song describes this hidden hand as pale white and leprous as the snow, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for the corruption and decay that lies beneath the surface of our society. The idea that the surface may look pristine and beautiful like untouched snow, but hidden beneath lies something dangerous and destructive, mirrors the workings of those in power.
Overall, the song touches on themes of power, corruption, and the impact that those in influential positions can have on society. The hidden hand is a metaphor for those who control our systems and structures, leaving a trail of chaos and destruction in their wake.

This is one of the best minimal synth tracks ever made. The Sub Rosa album has meant so much to me, albums like these don't grow on trees.
