Led by DOLVEN’s main songwriter Nick Wusz (Travellers Rest), In My Grave…Silence brings together an extraordinary and experienced lineup. Jason Walton (Agalloch, MoonBladder, Sculptured) lends his brooding, expressive bass, Hunter Ginn (Agalloch, Canvas Solaris, Radical Research) provides intricate yet restrained drumming that underscores the album’s dynamic tension, and Jori Apedaile (Eneferens, Hyalithe) delivers haunting, emotional vocal passages that drift like lost souls through the album’s desolate soundscapes.
Engineered by Jason Walton at Earth In Sound, In My Grave…Silence was mixed and mastered at Unisound by the legendary Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Katatonia, Opeth, Bloodbath), ensuring that every note lingers like a ghost in the cold air. Swanö’s presence and touch bring the album to elevated levels of sonic bliss. The album is completed with medieval cover artwork and logo by Alexandr, and additional illustrations by Thaumaturge Artworks.
Nick Wusz reveals, “This song is about the sorrow I feel every year visiting my father’s grave. As the years go by, the tombs and stones surrounding my father’s plot are being absorbed by moss, bleached by the sun, and yet it is exactly the same as it is every time I visit. I am struck by how, in the very near future, I will be in the ground too. The cycle repeats itself. Musically, this is an emotional, powerful song, evoking grandeur and the oppressive nature of passing time. Jori's vocal style deeply and softly brings out the emotions I feel in these visitations of the dead. Another year gone by. Another emotional DOLVEN record.”
