Doom / death doesn’t begin to cover it… with roots in the darkest elements of metal - merging slabs of stately doom-laden heaviness, aggressive punches and wrapped in an atmospheremost foul borne from gothic influences.
The sound of Candlemass and Celtic Frost being tortured in the most bloodied and eldritch ways; of Portal and Immolation being forced to stare deep in reflection at the core of their own soul. Grief Symposium is the uncomfortable musical vortex that captures all of this. Raised on the greatest of UK metal traditions of the Peaceville and Earache greats, yet imbued with contemporary power and influences, the morose heart of …In The Absence of Light beats darkly. Unafraid of that which juxtaposes with the darkness, Grief Symposium revels in the compositions and marries the musical and lyrical journey. This is not a straightforward, or easy listening experience that awaits.
"We are honoured to present ...In The Absence Of Light through Church Road Records. Our intention with Grief Symposium is to explore the balance of elegance and death within dark music; to create something emotional, powerful, interesting and different; to use the weapons of death metal, doom, and gothic influences to produce something that resonates and, perhaps, intimidates. Join the mourners."
