Marking Axel Helios' return to Shabu Recordings, As The Void Stared Back is the second single of his upcoming audiovisual album, Cerebral Wastelands. Shifting his focus from music to Media Art around 2018, Axel presented Cerebral Wastelands as part of a residency at Société des Arts Technologiques in 2022 in the form of an innovative interactive audio-visual performance where the public can change the music and the visuals in real-time. Played at Mutek, ACT Festival, and Imersa, Cerebral Wastelands garnered attention and hype for its innovative concept, as well as its music.

As The Void Stared Back is the main pillar of the Cerebral Wastelands project as it was the first track created for the project : a 13 minutes-long Ambient piece that slowly incorporates elements from IDM like polyrythmic beats, and tape-distorted harmonies from Vaporwave. This piece was first created as a way to soothe the soul during panic attacks, slowly fading into the listening space, calling to be focused on. As the first piece of the performance, As The Void Stared Back's imagery is associated with crashing ocean waves in front of tall skyscraping monoliths, and underwater caves.
