The people behind this project are Eugen Grimken (vocals, lyrics, drums) and Andreas Kratochvil (guitar, bass) from Berlin, Germany. Voidskald primarily concern themselves with atheist supremacy, anti-theism, nihilism (in particular Nietzsche's Thus Spoke Zarathustra), misanthropy and existentialist thought (mostly Camus) in their music. Heavy distortion, steady blast beat with occasional slow passages and dissonant riffs mark their style. Contrary to many people in the black metal scene they are strongly opposed to all forms of supernaturalist beliefs and theism which usually manifest themselves in the form of satanic and occult imagery. "Whatever connotations black metal music might have nowadays - we fully embrace a scientific view of the world and propagate it by all means possible.", Andreas told BELLVM GERITE in an interview. They work at an incredible speed. According to Eugen their first album, Hermitry, which has a playing length of approximately 43 minutes, was written and recorded in only 8 days.

Voidskald have released a new EP called A Tribute To Our Mothers. It consists of three Darkthrone covers and three Katharsis covers. Eugen pointed out that he and Andreas do not embrace any form of supernaturalist or racist ideology even though the lyrics of these songs deal with Christian satanic imagery and racial slurs.
