In 1999 Riccardo Conforti and Ivan Zara created Void of Silence with the intention of creating music that would be the perfect union of different influences. They both come from Italian underground bands: Riccardo Conforti was the Oblivion's drummer and he is still the Syrion’s mind, a dark ambient project for which he make a name of himself during the period of 1998-99 with the issue of two works; Ivan Zara was the Mystical Realms and Oblivion's guitar player.
In 2001 they released "Toward the Dusk", the first work as Void of Silence (after a mini CD titled "Remembrance" that was never distributed for choice of the same members due to a wrong production), composed between November 1999 and June 2000, when Malfeitor Fabban joined the band as vocalist.
Since April 2001 Void of Silence are signed to the label code666. Between August 2000 and November 2001 Void of Silence composed the second album titled "Criteria ov 666", released in February 2002.
After the split with the old vocalist, Void of Silence recorded two new songs for a Code666 compilation, out in 2003. In September 2002 Alan "Nemtheanga" Averill joined the band as new vocalist. Their third album, "Human Antithesis", followed in February 2004. In 2007 Void of Silence started to compose a new album, but Nemtheanga left the band due to his engagement with his other band, Primordial.
Brooke Johnson, vocalist of The Axis of Perdition, joined the band in 2009. The fourth Void of Silence album, "The Grave of Civilization", was released in June 2010.

Anger
Void of Silence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
anger it helps decide your actions
anger it makes you not a human being
the calm before the raging storm began
all of hell's children looked downward
anger it's a kind of guide
anger it's when you let the person inside out
anger if you let it out, will you be changed?
The lyrics of Void of Silence's song Anger describe the negative effects of anger on a person's actions and mindset. The song begins by stating that anger can influence the decisions we make and the actions we take, highlighting the power it holds over us. The next lines go on to say that anger makes us less human, suggesting that it causes us to act in ways we wouldn't normally. The calm before the storm mentioned in the lyrics could be interpreted as an allusion to the moment before a person loses control and their anger takes over, leading to disastrous consequences.
The next few lines of the song speak to the way in which anger can become a guide for a person, showing them how to act and what to do. This idea is echoed in the following lines which suggest that anger brings out the true person inside, revealing their inner thoughts and feelings. The lyrics end on a thought-provoking note, asking if you let your anger out, will you be changed? This line can be interpreted in a number of ways, but it seems to be addressing the idea that giving in to anger can have long-lasting, perhaps irreversible consequences.
