“Crash And The Void” was founded in 2019 after two Pretoria-based brothers decided to make a new kind of rock music. Marius Schutte, the vocalist and songwriter of the band, had experience in making film music after finishing a degree in classical music theory and his brother Lumar Schutte was a decorated drummer, mostly playing for concert bands and touring the country. Waldo Van Der Linde, who also studied towards a music degree, soon joined the group after hearing the unique sound and adding his lightning fast lead guitar style to the mix. After a few try outs and a debilitating pandemic throughout 2020, Dillon Van Heerden joined the troupe in 2021 to help out with his unique take on the bass, as well as lending his experience as a sound engineer. Their collective musical influences range from Hans Zimmer to Black Sabbath and everything in-between.
Crash And The Void makes music by infusing traditional balls-to-the-wall rock music with concepts often found in film music, particularly horror and sci-fi genres. Their first single, “The Cosmic Horror!” incorporates rock music with B-side horror film music and was released on Halloween 2021.
