Grave of a Dog

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) Après s'être tournés autour pendant longtemps, LINGUA IGNOTA, Full of Hell et The Body s'associent pour tourner autour d'un puits et y déverser toute leur haine : Sightless Pit est né. Grave of a Dog, premier album du trio, est une stèle de noirceur absolue. LINGUA IGNOTA dépose une gerbe — pas au sens floral mais au sens émetique du terme, hurlant à en glacer le sang ; et quand elle chante, sa voix est monstrueuse. Comme les vers, la symphonie funèbre grignote la peau et le cerveau. Éprouvant. Favorite track: The Ocean of Mercy.

arcb905 I’ve never heard anything like this before. Haunting/ jarring and amazing all at once.

nidefatt this is a wonderfully done album. I think people really fail to understand the amount of work it takes to use noise successfully to evoke emotions AND keep attention. this is kind of a masterpiece really

about

Sightless Pit brings together three of the most ambitious and prolific minds in heavy music today. The trio, comprised of Lee Buford of The Body, Kristin Hayter of Lingua Ignota and Dylan Walker of Full of Hell, combine their profound talents and eclectic tastes to make music that is defiantly original and emotionally sublime. Grave of a Dog was crafted without any clear rules or guidelines beyond their desire to work with one another. The central pillar to what coheres the three into a unified voice throughout the album is a shared bleak vision of existence and a willingness to follow each other into bold new territory. While their collaboration borrows keystones from each members’ musical arsenal, from Buford’s singular percussion and production to Walker’s venomous howl to Hayter’s virtuosic voice, in tandem the trio carve out a path all their own for a wildly dynamic and exhilarating experience.

Grave of a Dog was recorded throughout 2017-2019 at Machines With Magnets by Seth Manchester. The album recording process was extensive and intentional. Stretching over the course of two years, recording sessions by individual members shaped songs and continued to shape and inspire the next session be it by an individual or a pair. Walker describes the album’s core themes as being “about the anonymity of struggle, the darkness of a lifetime wasted warring against nature, god and everything else, only to be defeated… nothing… the end.” Throughout the album, Sightless Pit embody those struggles through building oceans of tension. A diversity of instruments and arrangements subvert expectations at every turn and bring new depth to each passage with the band utilizing samples of contra bassoon and Rufai mystic rituals while doing away with guitar entirely. Sightless Pit is a group of expansive ideas, extensive experience working together and shared vision. Over the course of the eight tracks, the trio reflect the extremes and emotional weight of their world view through elegiac dirges, driving beats, explosive crescendos. Together, three strong voices unite to create a work of remarkable clarity of expression of enormous sorrow, futility and most of all, beauty.
