Filmed and directed by Jesus Hernandez, the music video for VOID SECTOR ZERO’s “Extraterrestrial Disassembly” is available on the Season of Mist YouTube channel. Released October 27, the song is the second advance single from the progressive thrash trio’s debut album, Dead Space Enigma, due December 11, 2026 through Season of Mist.
Morean (Alkaloid, ex-Dark Fortress) contributes guest vocals to the track, which runs 3:24. Guitarist Christian Muenzner describes its premise as a DMT trip gone horribly wrong, with the announcement expanding that fictional scenario to ask what would happen if DMT were extracted from a dead person.
“Even though it’s the shortest song on Dead Space Enigma, it has lots of odd metric riffs, proggy riffs, a clean chorus and nods to hard rock and classic metal bands, specifically Coroner, Mercyful Fate, Annihilator, Helstar and Holy Moses,” Muenzner says.
The arrangement brings together Muenzner’s guitar solo, Gabe Seeber’s fast drumming and vocalist/bassist Alex Weber’s bass lines and growls, alongside Morean’s harmonies. Morean also has a guest vocal credit on the album’s title track.
VOID SECTOR ZERO comprise Muenzner on guitars and synth, Weber on vocals and bass, and Seeber on drums. Muenzner’s background includes Necrophagist, Obscura and Alkaloid; Weber’s includes Revocation, Malignancy and Exist; Seeber’s includes Decrepit Birth, Abigail Williams and Carach Angren.
The three first crossed paths in 2022 while playing together in Obscura on the world tour for A Valediction. Muenzner later approached Weber and Seeber for his own technical thrash band, drawing on their experience together.
“When I decided to start my own band in this style, I thought of Alex and Gabe,” Muenzner says. “Not only are they both great players, but I knew from our time in Obscura that we had great chemistry both on and off stage”.
His reference points include Coroner, Voivod, Toxik, Martyr, Hexenhaus and Aspid. For Dead Space Enigma, he describes a combination of late-1980s technical thrash and early-1990s technical death metal with neoclassical metal, U.S. power metal and jazz/fusion. He says the album’s pacing and production left room to explore rhythms and harmonies. His approach to solos also draws on Jimi Hendrix and Robin Trower alongside Yngwie Malmsteen and other metal guitarists.
The album follows science-fiction and cosmic-horror subjects without adhering to one overarching concept. Earlier single “Vortex Divinium” draws on Bob Lazar, while “Ammutseba” takes its subject from a Lovecraftian deity.
Weber says Muenzner’s material pushed both his bass playing and vocal technique: “To date, I feel like this album has the best recorded bass tone that I’ve ever gotten. It also led me to try new things with my voice that I didn’t know I could do.” Seeber likewise says working with the other two musicians will push him to progress as a player.
