Owing to a noticeable difference in structure from the rest of the song, the introduction of "Into the Void" has been known to be called The Death Mask.
Various artists have covered the song, including Kyuss, Sleep, Dr. Know, Cavity, Exhorder, Lumsk, Soundgarden, Melvins, Monster Magnet, and Orange Goblin.
In Soundgarden's version, the original lyrics are replaced by words of protest by Chief Seattle, which fit the metre of the song. At the 1993 Grammy Awards, the appropriately renamed "Into the Void (Sealth)" received a nomination for Best Metal Performance.

Famous quotes containing the words void and/or sabbath:
“Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation.... Tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation.”
—Jean Arp (1887–1948)
“Only man thinning out his kind
sounds through the Sabbath noon, the blind
swipe of the pruner and his knife
busy about the tree of life . . .”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
