Today, HM is proud to premiere “Grief,” the latest single from anonymous metalcore act, Divine Grave.
“Grief” brings together a dynamic confluence of heavy influences, from synthwave to djent, as the narrator guides a journey into the human psyche, exploring how we process suffering.
The band has this to say about their latest release:
“We are prone to tout our traumas as trophies, masking what needs to be done to truly heal. “Grief” is a process many of us try to escape, but is vital to the process of healing. This spans from the loss of loved ones to stowing away our pain in the back of our minds, never to be dealt with.”
Divine Grave’s identity may be a mystery, but their thrilling sonic output is plainly unambiguous.
Drawing influence across metal, synthwave, and djent, the music brings together a heavy and atmospheric soundscape at the collision point of introspective and ethereal.
Spring 2024 saw the release of Divine Grave’s debut work, Traumapieces, a candid collection depicting a vivid tapestry of inner turmoil and fear. Both thematically and sonically, the EP evokes a dark and ominous mood board, but Divine Grave tempers this with a mesmerizing production.
Indeed, this juxtaposition can be seen to represent the sparring of good vs. evil, with Divine Grave laying down a gauntlet to the listener to confront our demons.
“Grief” is a gripping look at an emotion that many try to evade. The expressive metalcore adjacent soundscape is adorned with rich guitars and hypnotic vocals, set against Divine Grave’s slick injections of synth. Collectively the set is deftly harnessed to steer the soul stirring track, as we’re challenged to face our fears of loss and despair head on.
