As the Valley of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade

VINYL FORMAT. Josh Graham has taken many avenues to express his artistic impulses, from shaping the visual element of Neurosis' 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. 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, and 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 of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and The Book Of Knots.
