Void Eternal received generally positive reviews from critics. In his review for The Line of Best Fit, Steven Loftin said the album "is a rebirth [of nu-metal]", and Ely King for Distorted Sound said Mulherin has "successfully branched himself into metalcore" and was "very reminiscent of the early to mid-00s era".

Commercial success

On a Twitch stream, Mulherin said the album was not a commercial success. He stated he lost 1.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify after the release of the album and would most likely not release a metal album again due to the lack of commercial success. [9]

Metalcore is a fusion genre combining elements of extreme metal and hardcore punk, that originated in the late 1980s. Metalcore is noted for its use of breakdowns, which are slow, intense passages conducive to moshing, while other defining instrumentation includes heavy guitar riffs often utilizing percussive pedal tones and double bass drumming. Vocalists in the genre typically perform screaming; more popular bands often combine this with the use of standard singing, usually during the bridge or chorus of a song.
