A Storm Of Light

As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade

Profound Lore

Josh Graham has taken many avenues to express his artistic impulses, from shaping the visual element of Neurosis’s live shows, directing videos for The Dillinger Escape Plan and Isis, designing artwork for groups such as Soundgarden and Shrinebuilder, to playing guitar for Red Sparowes and Battle of Mice. Though he is a current member of Neurosis, Graham finds his true musical calling in the Brooklyn-based A Storm of Light, a band that incorporates elements of sludge metal, doom metal, industrial and post-rock into their stirring and cinematic musical vision. With their two full-lengths released by Neurot Recordings, A Storm of Light unleashes their third and most powerful work, As the Valley of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade, courtesy of Profound Lore. Darker and heavier than ever, it is the culmination of Graham’s musical experiences into an atmospheric and moving opus. He is abetted by Joel Hamilton, Domenic Seita (ex-Tombs) and U.S. Christmas drummer Billy Graves—as well as none other than Soundgarden guitarist Kim Thayil, who lays downs his signature guitar work on the tracks “Missing” and “Black Wolves.” The album also features guest appearances from Jarboe, Kris Force (Amber Asylum), Nerissa Campbell and members from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and The Book of Knots.

A Storm Of Light

Forgive Us Our Trespasses

Neurot Recordings

Brooklyn's A Storm of Light is back with their second full-length and the follow-up to 2008's And We Wept the Black Ocean Within. The record's power comes from a dense melding of melodies, moods, and textures. As heavy and cataclysmic as fans would expect, the devastating effects rely on interwoven melodies and graceful shifts in timbre instead of a stream of identikit riffs. A Storm of Light is comprised of Josh Graham (Red Sparowes), Domenic Seita (Tombs, Asea), Andy Rice, and Joel Hamilton. On Forgive Us Our Trespasses, they are joined by a host of carefully chosen collaborators that includes vocalist Nerissa Campbell (Primitive North) and Jarboe (Swans, World of Skin, J2); the otherworldly spoken word segues of singer / poet / author Lydia Lunch, and the mournful strings of Carla Kihlstedt (Book of Knots, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) and Marika Hughes (2 Foot Yard) only enhance the richness. "[A] rawer attack of a power trio [and] an admirably well-realised, soul-crushing vision of despair." --Kerrang (4K rating)  "... My Bloody Valentine-style ground-zero volumes with reverberating drums and clanging guitars that sound like ocean liner horns. A powerful and moving experience indeed." --Metal Hammer (9/10 rating)  "... trappings of crushing guitars, a percussive cymbal wash, and penetrative, slow-motion aural violence that simultaneously tugs at your eco-conscience." --Terrorizer (8/10 rating)

A Storm Of Light

And We Wept The Black Ocean Within

Neurot Recordings

A Storm of Light is the eponymous debut album by the new Brooklyn, NY band featuring Josh Graham, Neurosis visual director and former member of Red Sparowes and Battle of Mice. The esteemed guitarist/vocalist is joined on this recording by bassist/vocalist Domenic Seita (ex-Tombs, ex-Asea) and drummer Pete Angevine of Satanized. Since then, rhythmic pugilist extraordinaire Vinny Signorelli (Unsane, ex-Swans) signed on as second drummer.   As one would guess by the pedigree, A Storm of Light is brutally hard-hitting. However, the group's haunting harmonic drone meshes with guitar, vocals, and subtle keyboard layers, giving listeners more a sense of suffocation by drowning than a simple pummeling.
