Biography

Internal Void came together in 1987 after Kelly Carmichael, Eric Little and Adam Heinzmann attended a Saint Vitus concert.[2][3] The band later recruited J.D. Williams as a vocalist[2] and put out two demo recordings in the late 80s/early 90s (Voyage and Smokestack).[3][4] Hellhound Records picked them up in the early 90s along with several other Maryland doom bands (The Obsessed, Wretched, Unorthodox, Iron Man, Revelation). They had two songs featured on the Hellhound sampler What the Hell! in 1991. In 1993 they released their debut album, Standing on the Sun. This would prompt a nationwide tour with label-mates Saint Vitus.[4] Not much was heard from the band after Hellhound's demise until 2000, when Southern Lord Records released the band's second album, Unearthed, and a split single with Italian doom artist Paul Chain. By this time original drummer Eric Little had been replaced with former Unorthodox drummer Ronnie Kalimon.[1] Kalimon would later be replaced by doom veteran Mike Smail (Cathedral, Dream Death, Penance)[1] and in 2004 the band self-released their latest album, Matricide. Internal Void have appeared on numerous tribute albums, included albums dedicated Saint Vitus, Blue Cheer, and Italy's Death SS.

Carmichael, Heinzmann and Smail all joined Pentagram in 2004 and are featured on Pentagram's album, Show 'em How.[1][5]

gollark: GCSEs are the first actual qualification things and you study for 2 years for them. I did... I think 11 or so? I probably should know, but stuff like maths and further maths and English literature/language were taught together at school.
