Transit Method comment on “Othervoid“:
“‘Othervoid‘ is a true turning point for this band as it’s our first album written and recorded as a quartet. As a result, the entire process of writing and arranging these songs was more collaborative than ever before, giving the music more depth. Each of us has wildly eclectic tastes in music so no idea ever went unexplored. Our goal was to create something adventurous, melodic, and powerful.”
“Othervoid” marks the Prog Metal quartet’s most bludgeoning, infectious, and ambitious album to date. Brothers Matt LoCoco (vocals/guitar) and Mike LoCoco (drums) are joined by new members Bryan Rolli (guitars/vocals) and live Panopticon violinist Charlie Anderson (bass) cementing the band’s definitive lineup.
“Othervoid” seven tracks show the breadth of the band’s songwriting. The Punk-Metal riffs and dueling guitars of “Psychometry” evoke Mutoid Man and Iron Maiden, while the vocal harmonies and trad-metal gallop of “The Outside” recall Mastodon and Thin Lizzy. The album reaches its astonishing climax on “Frostbite,” a shapeshifting, nine-minute epic inspired by the 2021 freeze that left millions of Texans stranded at home without power and claimed hundreds of lives.
“Othervoid” is the result of years of turmoil and triumph. With their future uncertain, Transit Method charged into the eye of the storm and emerged on the other side with the strongest album of their career. The path was challenging, unpredictable, and exhilarating – just like “Othervoid.”
