Venta Protesix returns with On The Other Side Of The Screen Is Only Emptiness. It is a new album that sharpens and intensifies his signature noise aesthetic. The album is built on extreme contrasts.

Repulsive yet strangely alluring, the album marks a new chapter for Venta Protesix: sleek, destructive, and uncompromising.
