Mother Of Graves is back to doom you all with their new single "Upon Burdened Hands" from the upcoming record The Periapt Of Absence, due out October 18. Which is perfect for all the cooler weather coming up – chilly doom for those frosty mornings. What's not to love?
"'Upon Burdened Hands' is a tale of severance and longing," said Mother Of Graves vocalist and keyboardist Brandon Howe. "Perseverance in the midst of uncertainty. Being separated from the one thing tethering you to this earth, but somewhere – still connected. It is one of our more melodic and hooky songs on the record, which I love, while holding an equal amount of heaviness and grit.
"I think we found a really nice balance of those things here. Included before the last half of the song is a reading of The Dream by Theodore Roethke, a favorite poet of mine. His work among select others solaced me through difficult times, and I thought this one in particular was a fitting piece for this song. Sink into the melancholic romance and let it take you where it may."
Pre-orders for The Periapt Of Absence are available here.
