\u201cI really hope [our music] resonates with people like me, regular [people] trying to find our path through life with all of its ups and downs \u2026and obstacles that keep us from feeling who we truly are inside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
So shares Nick Wusz, songwriter and guitarist for acoustic doom band Dolven<\/strong>. Now releasing their third album, In My Grave\u2026Silence<\/em>, Dolven\u2019s distinct brand of intimate, folk-inspired heaviness that both embraces and challenges the expansiveness of doom is comfortable, established. Each note is measured, each beat exactly where it needs to be. According to Wusz, that practiced thoughtfulness is rooted in an ongoing loop of emotion and creation:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cWhether it\u2019s anger or love, music demands an emotional anchor. There has to be a passion behind it, and my favorite artists do this. Music is an outlet. Dolven is an outlet for my sorrow and melancholy, but also for my joy and hopefulness. That\u2019s who I am, and it would be impossible and disingenuous to write an album in any other way. It\u2019s all part of trying to live an authentic life!\u201d<\/p>\n Coming out this Friday, June 13th, In My Grave\u2026Silence<\/em> is an invitation to ponder, to engage with your feelings as a unique experience that\u2019s shared across lifetimes. The rich resonance of doom creates a subtle, but powerful, stage for delicate melodies and vocalist Jori Apedaile\u2019s melancholy intonations. The album feels like a conversation with an old friend, an emotional catharsis that soothes the soul and heals old wounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
