I Am Your Bane: A Journey into Darkness and Redemption

This six-track EP is a whirlwind of raw emotion and creative storytelling. From the personal to the mythical, Boreal Grave proves they’re not afraid to go deep.

Here’s the lowdown:

1) Loathe: A visceral take on bullying’s aftermath. Think of it as a sonic gut punch—it’s raw, emotional, and unrelenting.

2) Now You Are Free: Dedicated to Henri’s late pup, Telle, this track is heartbreakingly beautiful. Yes, deathcore can make you cry.

3) In Devil’s Embrace: When betrayal leaves you in the cold, this track offers solace in the shadows. Dark yet oddly comforting.

4) I Am Your Bane: The title track dives into mythical curses, exploring the darker sides of human nature. Pure, unfiltered epicness.

5) Retaliation: Inspired by the tragic Joensuu child murder, this song channels sorrow and rage into a haunting masterpiece.

6) Mother Of Evil: Featuring Diablo 4’s Lilith battling good and evil, this finale feels like an entire movie compressed into one jaw-dropping track.

The EP’s unique blend of deathcore ferocity and melodic death metal’s richness is a bold, genre-defying move. Imagine the intensity of Thy Art Is Murder colliding with the cinematic flair of Insomnium. It’s crushing yet intricate—like a beautiful nightmare.

Recorded in their cozy rehearsal space and polished to perfection by Diego Fernandez at Oracle Studios, I Am Your Bane is as authentic as it gets. And let’s talk about those first singles! Mother Of Evil and In Devil’s Embrace are already making waves, hinting at the sheer power this EP promises to deliver.

This isn’t just music for the sake of brutality. Boreal Grave delves into life’s struggles, joys, and myths, wrapping it all in a thunderous deathcore package. Their sound is a cathartic release for anyone grappling with darkness, and their lyrical themes connect on a deeply human level.

If you’re a lover of heavy music who relishes technical vocals, intricate melodies, and storytelling that hits hard, then this album is speaking directly to you. Boreal Grave welcomes you to plunge into the shadows and discover your own I Am Your Bane.
