*2026 stock* Bolt of Void was sleeping in the dark, earthen soil for almost 7 years, and like the locust, the group emerged again, anew -- Gate is a wormhole, unlocked ceremonially -- A star-gate traversal that reaches terminal velocity and the feeling of moving forwards, backwards, and not at all become the same. Centered around extreme noise, drone clusters, and atonal portal jumping, the trio's dense sound is powered via three expanded lap steel guitars, bells, and resonant metal.

Bolt Of Void is a sonically amorphous band, and a family coven, featuring interdisciplinary artists Cecyl Ruehlen, Kari Treadwell, and Nyal Ruehlen. They are interested in eternally divine music, electroacoustic experimentation, soundscape, and cosmic vibrational fields. The trio have played together in various iterations and groupings since 2014, at one time co-operating Shadowtrash Tape Group, a label and performance-focused radio show in the Denver/Boulder Colorado area. They went on hiatus as an outfit in 2019 only to be re-awakened in 2025 across the scattered geographies of the Sonoran Desert and the Pacific Northwest.
