In a scene saturated with digital slickness and recycled discourse, VOIDHÄMMER emerges like a toxic discharge that asks for no permission and offers no explanations. This trio distills primitive death metal, grind, and punk rawness with the same natural ease with which the world decomposes day by day. Their demo/EP Noxious Emissions doesn’t aim to please: it sounds like an industrial sewer, like urban rage, like riffs oozing with decay. Music made for sick times, without romanticism or posturing.
Your demo: Noxious Emissions, sounds like a tractor driving into a crematorium and scattering corpses everywhere. What exactly were you guys trying to achieve with these four tracks, or are you folks just trying to destroy eardrums for sport?
When we started writing for Noxious Emissions; the focus was on making something concise and punishing. We wanted to distill all the styles we liked and attempt to put them together. Our writing process was very collaborative, we would propose riff ideas and slowly bring them to life over the course of multiple practices.
The album cover or titles like Rotting in Excrement or Coffin Leakage looks like you'd make your grandma throw up. Is there some morbid story behind those names, or did they just get carried away with the chaos?
When writing the lyrics we wanted to be as gross as possible. The writing duties were split between the two of us.
How often do you discuss in the studio whether a riff should sound more “apocalyptic” or more “apocalyptic with disgust”? Or has that never even crossed your minds?
I think when we were writing the riffs we definetley wanted to have a sense of urgency.
If you had to describe your music to someone who only listens to elevator music, would it be easier to invent a new religion or just blast Noxious Emissions?
VH: I would probably just show them and let them créate their own assumptions. I rather let someone hear it raw witthout tying any sort of genre or “sounds like” to sway them.
What was the most "wtf" moment during the recording of this demo? Did someone smash their guitar, the drumheads, or something more crazy than calling your band Voidhämmer?
Recording was pretty disciplined nothing crazy happened.

| Read a review EP Noxious Emissions- Caligari Records 2026 |
Caligari specializes in tapes, is there any chance of your album being released in another format? Like vinyl or CDs?
We’ve been kicking around the idea of doing a 7 inch but nothing set in stone at the moment.
If the world really were to end tomorrow, which song from Noxious Emissions would be the last soundtrack before everything collapses?
I think it would be Phosphorized or Coffin Leakage.
What's next for Voidhämmer? Do you already have material for a full-length album, or will you continue working hard on the demo tracks and writing material for your debut?|
We’re already writing for a full length. Any future shows we play from here on out Will have new songs that haven’t been recorded. Look forward to sharing the new tracks.
