Explore the sacred domains

Astral Emptiness is an atmospheric/technical deathcore project from Rome, Lazio, Italy, formed in 2017. The band explores themes of struggle, transcendence, disconnection, and awakening, crafting a sound that merges brutal complexity with introspective atmosphere.

Unlike traditional black metal acts, Astral Emptiness operates within the deathcore spectrum, infusing technical precision with ambient textures and philosophical depth. Their compositions likely feature breakdowns, intricate riffing, and layered synths, creating a sonic landscape that reflects both inner turmoil and spiritual ascent.

The project remains unsigned and independent, with no publicly listed discography or lineup. However, their thematic focus suggests a conceptual approach — where music becomes a medium for existential inquiry and emotional catharsis. The name itself evokes a cosmic void, a place where identity dissolves and awakening begins.

Astral Emptiness stands apart from Italy’s more orthodox black metal lineage, offering a hybrid form that bridges aggression and atmosphere, brutality and transcendence.
