Apocalyptic metal band A STORM OF LIGHT
have completed work on their new album, entitled "As The Valley Of Death
Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade.”
Formed by multi-faced
artist/musician Josh Graham (Neurosis, ex-Red Sparowes/Battle Of Mice), A
STORM OF LIGHT have become a whole new musical entity on its own
merits, taking singer/guitarist Graham’s experiences from his previous
musical repertoire and finding its own unique voice through the vessel
known as A STORM OF LIGHT.
With their third album at hand, not
only is "As The Valley Of Death…” A STORM OF LIGHT’s heaviest and most
dynamic release to date, but it is also A STORM OF LIGHT’s most
song-oriented and most musically inclined release to date. While still
maintaining certain elements referenced from their previous two
releases, elements which ranged from moments of sludge/doom metal,
ambient experimental, classic industrial, and post rock and metal
respectively, "As The Valley Of Death…” sees the band (rounded out by
bassist Domenic Seita, drummer Billy Graves, and Joel Hamilton on
synthesizers and production) focusing more on solid traditional song
structures and foundations, ones found in genres such as rock (AC/DC),
modern-day rock (Queens Of The Stone Age), and ultimately classic
traditional metal, most notably the template laid down by Metallica.
And
to top it all off, "As The Valley Of Death…” sees a fair share of
musician guest appearances likewise. Most notably SOUNDGARDEN guitarist
Kim Thayil lending his signature guitar shredding on the tracks
‘Missing’ and ‘Black Wolves’.
Also appearing on "As The Valley
Of Death…” are Jarboe (ex-Swans), longtime ASOL collaborator Nerissa
Campbell, Kris Force (Amber Asylum), Matthias Bossi (Sleepytime Gorilla
Museum/The Book Of Knots), and Carla Kihlstedt (also of Sleepytime
Gorilla Museum/The Book Of Knots).link
