Shallow Grave releases Threshold Between Worlds

Shallow Grave re-emerge from the southern depths, channeling distorted transmissions from beyond the transcendent void on their highly anticipated new album, Threshold Between Worlds. The band's self-titled debut was hailed as “massively heavy and musically punishing” (Metal Rules) and “uncompromising, unrelenting... and a masterclass of extreme metal” (The Sludgelord). Threshold Between Worlds ups that ante, seeing Shallow Grave reimagining the sacred and bringing even more unsettling sonic carnage and remorseless intensity to their art.

Since forming in 2009, Shallow Grave’s apocalyptic visions have been inspired by the arcane and murderous rift underlying humanity. The band includes members from Iron Bonehead allies Prisoner of War as well as Svart Records signees House of Capricorn. The band have shared the stage with the likes of Conan, Weedeater, High on Fire, Witchrist, Dead Meadow, Ulcerate, Kylesa and more.

The raw materials of Threshold Between Worlds were recorded live at Auckland’s The Lab studios and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. The album's four labyrinthine performances tap into ancient entropic resonances on dark and forbidding soundscapes. States of dissolution are summoned via ominous audio manipulations, and Shallow Grave’s singular methodology is showcased as crushing and bone-chilling doom fuses with subtle improvisations, Musique concrète, mangled tape loops, subliminal samples, and a Hauntological ambiance.

The album will be released on October 31 2018 digitally and on vinyl.
