This predominantly thrash based band soon felt the need for a bass guitarist and the search went on till finally Devoid saw its new permanent bassy, Frank Pawar.

Coupled with a string of local pub gigs and outstation performances, Devoid soon established its fan base. A lot of this had to do with the fact that the setlist for Devoid was all-out originals.

With the fan base steadily increasing Devoid started touring with big names in the scene like IIIrd Sovereign, Demonic Resurrection, Myndsnare, Kryptos, Brute Force, Infernal Wrath etc covering places like Pune, Hyderabad, Delhi, Shillong and of course Bombay. From then on to now, Devoid has come up with 8 crushing songs that saw the crowd screaming and moshing along. Slowly setting up a scene that is waiting to erupt.

They have a single out on this page and are hoping to get the album done by the end of '09. Devoid is now managed by a long time friend and the soul of Devoid.
