Ben, Guitars for Mother of Graves, joins me for an in-depth conversation about their latest album "The Periapt Of Absence". We discuss everything from the writing and recording of the album to what the future looks like for the band.
"Indianapolis melodic death/doom purveyors MOTHER OF GRAVES return to the surface with The Periapt Of Absence, a new and prolific dose of melancholy set to be unleashed on October 18th via the esteemed Profound Lore Records.
The Periapt Of Absence delivers MOTHER OF GRAVES‘ most in depth and significant material to date. The follow-up to 2022’s critically lauded Where The Shadows Adorn – a record Last Rites championed for its, “new take on an old sound, masterfully crafted and impeccably performed,” and Invisible Oranges lauded for its, “immaculate balance between subdued and straightforwardness” – The Periapt Of Absence serves as a testament to MOTHER OF GRAVES‘ evolutionary journey and steadfast dedication to crafting their profoundly personal and enthralling rendition of death/doom metal. Highlighted by Brandon Howe’s soul crushing and poetic vocals, the offering transcends boundaries, delving deeper into realms of sorrow and introspection than their previous works.
The album expands upon the band’s notoriously engrossing atmospheres, crushing passages that shine light on their death metal roots, monumental hooks, and melodies that will resonate for years to come. Each song provides a poignant exploration of the human experience, where moments of despair are illuminated by glimmers of hope and fleeting beauty. Through eight cathartic tales of heartache, love, and loss, MOTHER OF GRAVES beckons you to delve deep into the recesses of their dark and gloomy world." Earsplit
