CALL TO THE VOID

Call To The Void are:
Jack Osborne – vocals
John McGlade – guitar
John Settle – bass
Glen Bartholomew – drums

Mesmerising UK rockers, CALL TO THE VOID, have now revealed their anthemic new single, ‘Viper’s Venom’.
CALL TO THE VOID are an intensely intriguing four-piece rock crew hailing from London.
Fronted by Jack Osborne, with John McGlade on guitar, John Settle taking care of the groove on bass and Glen Bartholomew handling the beats, CALL TO THE VOID’s vast influences pan from Placebo and The Smashing Pumpkins through David Bowie, The Doors and Tool.
Taking their moniker from the French Expression ‘L’appel du Vide’, CALL TO THE VOID is the phenomena many experience when faced with a fearful height and the inability to resist the compulsion to jump.
Charismatic vocalist, Jack Osborne, adds:
“Like a dark secret so many of us keep, the expression has always called to me, with its eerie, taboo yet relatable subject matter. Control and impulse are so much of what makes us human.”
CALL TO THE VOID were revitalised in 2024 when new recruit and old friend, Glen Bartholomew, was drafted in on drums;
his addition not only solidified their line-up, but also helped refresh and energise their sound.
This can be evidenced by their explosive new single, ‘Viper’s Venom’.
The track was recorded at Bonafide Studio in London, and it’s a vastly engulfing cut that illustrates the band’s songwriting guile and deft ability to deliver a killer hook.
The accompanying video is also a crafty piece of eye candy, shot partly on the Balearic Island, Mallorca.
Osbourne elaborates:
“I really wanted to create a contrast between the dark subject matter and the visuals for the song. The sea and the waves are meant to represent the constancy of time, and ever-changing cycles of life as the song references nature, the days beginning and ending. The video is all DIY. We had family film us on two separate occasions whilst I edited the whole thing together. It’s been a labour of love.”
Further releases and content are planned for the remainder of the year, as well as the promise of a string of live performances.
CALL TO THE VOID are now in full flow, and nothing can stop their ascent.
