KVØID is Dylan Garrett Smith (fine artist/printmaker) and David S. Fylstra (Co-owner of ANIMA Recordings and active member of Wasting Seasons, Secret Of Birth, Nursery Crimes, and formerly Fresian, and New Miseries).
KVØID’s debut album, ‘NIHILITY’, blends elements of black metal, sludge, and experimental noise to create a bleak landscape devoid of humans where a more magickal, natural world reigns within the mind of the listener. ‘NIHILITY’ fluctuates between - and combines - soft, beautiful moments of melancholy, jarring noise, field recordings from nature, and dark, crushing arrangements to create an austere soundscape that speaks of a time when the flora and fauna of the world have once again reclaimed the Earth, allowing forests to “run wild and ancient” while “wolves roam vast wilderness”. KVØID celebrates our insignificance in the universe and the concept of our extinction, while promoting the imperfect perfection of anarchic chaos on a cosmic scale.
