Finnish progressive melodic death metal band Numento has released a new single titled “One With The Void.” The track is currently available to stream and download across all major digital platforms. This new release serves as the latest preview of the group’s upcoming EP, which is scheduled to arrive later this year.

Thematically, the new song draws direct inspiration from the Ophiocordyceps unilateralis fungus, a biological parasite that infects and manipulates the behavior of carpenter ants before inevitably killing its host. The band utilizes this phenomenon as a metaphor to explore broader concepts of agonizing death, loss of autonomy, and psychological deterioration. The narrative also operates as a reflection on human behavioral patterns, specifically exploring the dynamics of manipulation found within cults and criminal environments.

Musically, the track represents a brief return to the band’s earlier sonic roots while maintaining their established progressive approach. The five-piece lineup—featuring vocalist and kantele player Katri Hiovain-Asikainen alongside guitarists Atte Asikainen and Aleksi Vehmassalo, bassist Johnny Grinds, and drummer Mikko Virtanen—builds the composition on sharp contrasts. The arrangement blends oppressive, heavy instrumentation and brutal vocal expressions with underlying melancholic elements and driven guitar melodies.
