The Answer Lies In The Black Void, the alchemical collaboration between vocalist Martina Horváth (Thy Catafalque) and composer/multi-instrumentalist Jason Köhnen (Celestial Season, Bong-Ra, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble), have released the third and final single from their forthcoming full-length album “Transcendental,” due out on September 26 via Lay Bare Recordings.
Alongside the new track, titled “Deconstructed”, the band has also unveiled a striking music video, accompanied by the statement: “What we give our time and attention to reflects what we value most. Each moment we offer is a quiet declaration of meaning.“

Rooted in their shared passion for Doom in all its forms, Horváth and Köhnen formed The Answer Lies In The Black Void to explore the genre’s emotional and existential depths. Their self-styled Transcendental Metal blends doom’s crushing gravity with elements of Folk, Ambient and Electronica — casting a wide, Atmospheric net that captures both sonic weight and spiritual introspection.
Lyrically, the band dives deep into the complexities of the human psyche. Themes of inner struggle, psychological transformation, and the hidden architecture of the soul permeate their songs, giving their music a haunting emotional resonance that moves beyond the typical boundaries of Metal. The result is a sound that is both soul-crushing and soul-searching.
Following their critically praised debut, “Forlorn” (2021), and the equally compelling “Thou Shalt” (2023), with their new album The Answer Lies In The Black Void continue to explore the depths of the human psyche, captivating listeners far beyond the typical boundaries of metal.
Live, the band expands into a commanding five-piece, featuring Botond Fogl and Attila Kovacs on guitars, and Mark Potkovacz on drums.
Now, the band prepares to unveil their third full-length album “Transcendental” (2025) – set for release in September 2025 on Lay Bare Recordings – promising yet another chapter of introspective heaviness and sonic exploration.
After the success support to Thy Catafalque’s first European tour in 2024, The Answer Lies In The Black Void embarked on a EU tour with Bong-Ra early 2025 and a solo mini-tour through Chile, South America spring 2025.
“Transcendental” is set for release on September 26, 2025 via Lay Bare Recordings and is available for Pre-Order HERE
