MOTHER OF GRAVES – Announce New Album “The Periapt Of Absence”

Indianapolis melodic death-doom purveyors MOTHER OF GRAVES return with their sophomore album “The Periapt Of Absence” to be released on Oct 18^th.  Pre-orders now live HERE and new track “Upon Burdened Hands” can be streamed everywhere.

“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, this offering transcends boundaries, delving even deeper into realms of melancholy and introspection than their past offerings. The album expands on Mother of Graves’ engrossing atmospheres, crushing passages that shine light on their death metal roots, monumental hooks, and melodies that will resonate for years to come. The crushing production, provided by the band’s Ben Sandman with dynamic mastering by the legend Dan Swanö, amplifies the monumental rhythm section anchored by Don Curtis on drums and Corey Clark on bass, while illuminating the intricate guitar harmonies skillfully woven by guitarists Sandman and Chris Morrison.

“The Periapt of Absence” is without a doubt Mother Of Graves’ most in depth and significant material to date. 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.
