A Storm Of Light - And We Wept The Black Ocean Within

Debut release from Brooklyn, NY trio A Storm Of Light featuring Josh Graham (Neurosis, Blood And Time, Battle Of Mice and formerly Red Sparowes)
lGraham is joined on the album by bassist/vocalist Domenic Seita (ex-Tombs, ex-Asea) and drummer Pete Angevine of Satanized. Since this recording, rhythmic pugilist extraordinaire Vincent Signorelli (Unsane, ex-Swans) has signed on as second drummer.
lAs you’d guess by the pedigree, A Storm Of Light is brutally hard-hitting. However, the group’s haunting harmonic drone meshing guitar, vocals and subtle keyboard layers gives listeners a sense of slow suffocation in waves of noise
rather than straightforward pummeling.
lAided by master engineer Joel Hamilton (Book Of Knots, Battle Of Mice), Graham’s slack-tuned guitar rumbles and groans while subtle keyboard lines and Seita’s bass slither throughout the lowest ranges of the musical scale.
Angevine’s lunging rhythms add crashing and propulsive heft. The vocals sound as intricately layered as the other instruments, often sounding unclear how many voices are adding to the harmony... guitar notes, voices, synth chords all blur into a wash that quite suitably evokes a sense of deep sea water pressure.
lTracklisting: 01. Adrift 02. Vast & Endle
