Songfacts®:

On March 5, 2021, Demon Hunter released Songs Of Death And Resurrection, a collection of acoustic reworked versions of some of their classic tracks incorporating string arrangements and layered vocal harmonies. The band also hired Joanna Ott to add haunting piano to the mix. "Praise The Void" is the only previously unreleased track on the project.
A void is an empty space containing nothing. A play on "Praise The Lord," vocalist Ryan Clark told New Release Today he wrote this as "a sarcastic praise song for the absence of God."
Clark penned the song from the point of view of someone who believes that upon death their consciousness permanently ceases and enters a state of nonexistence. "They find comfort in thinking death, or the nothingness that they think it brings, takes away the darkness of life," said Clark. "To me, that concept is silly."
