New album, “Hollows Made Homes In Their Sunken Cheeks”, out on April 18th!
Ungraven is a celebration of the nastier side of heavy music, the dirty noise metal and industrial heaviness that is sorely under-represented in this scene, progressing forward to crushing drone laced with ambient eeriness. On their new album “Hollows Made Homes In Their Sunken Cheeks”, Jon Davis (Conan) and David Perry (formerly of The Laez, Conan & Dead Void) launch a glacial barrage of heaviness, using synths, keys, organ, vocoder and guitar, conjuring images of social decline projected across imagined landscapes of a ruined future.
Ungraven’s new album “Hollows Made Homes In Their Sunken Cheeks” came into existence as a result of frontman Jon Davis’ wishes to take the Ungraven sound somewhere other than a standard ‘rock band’ setup. Moving away from the traditional ‘drums/bass/guitar’ structure has allowed Ungraven to experiment further with both sound and composition. ‘Hollows….’ Is an experiment in sonics and allows Davis and Perry to perform a sickening sonic duet as their respective instruments carve a universe-shaped hole in your consciousness.
Inspired by the duo’s past collaborations on Conan tracks such as “Older than Earth” and “Grief Sequence” as well as artists such as Tangerine Dream, Circle, Zombi and Harold Budd, the album blends composed and improvised elements, crafted remotely from their home base in England and Denmark. The addition of Perry’s synth, organ and piano to Davis’s slab-like 6-string delivery results in two 20-minute epics that are as introspective and as they are pummelling. Fall untethered into a bleak and expansive soundscape of psychedelic terror, and experience a new chapter in Ungraven’s tome of tone.
