The Void's Last Stand is the name of a German progressive rock band that was founded in 2007 in Aachen near Cologne. The band features Jonas Wingens as its singer and on guitars, Geoffrey Blaeske on guitars, Ray Dratwa on drums and Rachid Touzani on bass.

Formation
The Void's Last Stand has its roots in the experimental pop band the void, which was founded in 2005 by Wingens and Blaeske. In 2007 they met Dratwa and decided to give birth to a progressive rock band, which they called The Void's Last Stand. They were joined by bass player Touzani in spring 2009.

Getting signed and first album
The band recorded their first album A Sun by Rising Set, a concept album about Elagabal, in summer 2009. Later that year they signed a record deal with Long Hair Music. Before signing The Void's Last Stand, Long Hair Music had concentrated on German bands from the 70's, such as Rufus Zuphall, Dzyan or Mammut. Now under a label, the band saw quite some exposure playing as the opening act for well known acts such as Damo Suzuki, Panzerballett or Electric Orange.

Second album
Rakash is going to be the name of their second album which is planned to be recorded in summer and to be released around winter of 2010. Concerts with Damo Suzuki as well as the Gurumaniax, a project of Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru are ahead for them.
