PREMIERE: Oppressive Ruminations – Myopic & At The Graves

We here at Distorted Sound are delighted to premiere the new music video from MYOPIC and AT THE GRAVES!

The new music video, for the track Oppressive Ruminations, is taken from the Washington, DC-based progressive doom trio [MYOPIC] and Baltimore, Maryland-based one-man doom/sludge unit’s [AT THE GRAVES] upcoming new collaborative album, A Cold Sweat Of Quiet Dread, which is scheduled to be released in March, via Grimoire Records.

The new music video showcases the band performing the track in a live studio session and speaking about the new song, AT THE GRAVES‘ Ben Price says, “this was one of the first ones we worked on. I remember this making me feel like I had a lot of work to do as a guitarist in order to find my place within MYOPIC and also maintain the AT THE GRAVES mood. Very happy with how it came out in the end, though.”

MYOPIC‘s Nick Leonard adds, “this was one of the few songs we [MYOPIC] had mostly finished writing before bringing in Ben. It’s the most straight ahead song with no tempo changes or huge mood shifts. Before adding Ben’s parts it had a more ordinary black metal feel, but he really added a lot of cool dissonance and extra melody that we hadn’t planned for but really liked. It really shows the power of our collaboration.”
