US-based VOID SECTOR ZERO have announced their debut album, “Dead Space Enigma”, while releasing a new music video for the album’s lead single, ‘Vortex Divinium’. The Progressive Thrash Metal track offers a first glimpse into the band’s approach, built around science fiction and cosmic horror.

‘Vortex Divinium’ draws on Bob Lazar’s account of Area 51. Built around Gabe Seeber’s technical drumming performance, the track combines Alex Weber’s vocals with Christian Muenzner’s guitar work, while neoclassical and classic heavy metal influences also come to the fore. Muenzner says his approach to soloing is influenced not only by blues guitarists such as Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower, but also by Yngwie Malmsteen and other metal guitarists.

The band’s debut album, “Dead Space Enigma”, is not tied to a single concept. VOID SECTOR ZERO state that each track opens a different portal into the worlds of science fiction or cosmic horror. The album will consist of eight tracks with a total runtime of 40 minutes and 36 seconds.

The VOID SECTOR ZERO lineup consists of guitarist Christian Muenzner, vocalist and bassist Alex Weber, and drummer Gabe Seeber. The three musicians first met in 2022 while playing together on OBSCURA’s “A Valediction” tour. Muenzner says he had wanted to play tech-thrash for a long time, and chose Weber and Seeber because of both their musical abilities and the chemistry they had developed during their time in OBSCURA.

“Dead Space Enigma” was produced by Christian Muenzner, Pere Revert, and Alex Weber. Guitars and synths were recorded at Shredquarter Studios in Mexico City, bass and vocals at Weber’s home studio, and drums at Mayhemeness Recording Studio in Sacramento, California. The album was mixed and mastered by Pere Revert at SONNOS Andorra.

The album artwork was created by Timon Kokott, while the photography was handled by Jesus Hernandez. Hernandez also directed and filmed the video for ‘Vortex Divinium’.

“Dead Space Enigma” will be released on December 11, 2026, via Season of Mist on CD Digipak and 12-inch gatefold vinyl. The vinyl editions will be available in black, transparent red and black marbled, as well as transparent blue, black and white marbled variants.
