Void was one of the earliest examples of hardcore/metal crossover with their chaotic musical approach cited as particularly influential.

[3][4] The Faith and Void were hardcore bands from Washington D.C., both with few releases (this is Void's only release throughout the band's existence),[5] but the record built a relatively large underground following among punk and hardcore punk fans.

[6] Both bands were connected to Dischord Records, the punk label run by Ian MacKaye and Jeff Nelson of Minor Threat and were considered pioneers of DC Hardcore.

[11] The sleeve art for the LP (which dedicates one side to each of the bands on the original vinyl) is also rather iconic.

[citation needed] Dischord re-issued the album on compact disc in November 1993, with the following extra tracks (from the Faith's Subject to Change EP).
