Full Album Stream: A Storm Of Light: As the Valley of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade – new album

Apocalyptic metallers,  A STORM OF LIGHT, have just released their new album, ‘As The Valley Of Death Becomes Us, Our Silver Memories Fade’, via Profound Lore Records in the UK and North America and Roadburn Records / Burning World Records in Europe today, May 17th 2011. The album is available for free listening in its entirety here (Noisecreep). “Before this release, we were more concerned with creating an overall mood or feeling. While I think we made two suffocatingly intense records, this one has made us a better band. For us, the record has a great flow and sort of tells its own story as the songs flow. It also makes playing live a lot more fun for us, as the intensity shifts more than ever before,” vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist and artist Josh Graham told Noisecreep. The album, whose title I will not write again, features many guest-musicians including an appearance by SOUNDGARDEN's lead guitarist Kim Thayil, along with guest-appearances by Jarboe (ex-SWANS), Kris Force (AMBER ASYLUM), Nerissa Campbell, and members of SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM, BOOK OF KNOTS, and U.S. CHRISTMAS.

New York City's A STORM OF LIGHT was formed by accomplished musician and artist Josh Graham (also a member of NEUROSIS and formerly of such acclaimed acts as BATTLE OF MICE and RED SPAROWES). In 2008 the group released its “atmospheric, mildly industrial, post-metal” debut album ‘And We Wept The Black Ocean Within’ on NEUROSIS home-base Neurot Recordings. A split release with Canada's NADJA, entitled ‘Primitive North’, and second full-length, ‘Forgive Us Our Trespasses’, followed in 2009, again via already mentioned record label.

A STORM OF LIGHT features: Josh Graham - guitar, vocals, synthesizers, banjo and piano, Domenic Seita -  bass, backing vocals and percussion, BJ Graves – drums and Joel Hamilton - guitar, modular synth, Wurlitzer and percussion.
