Our Take

Steve Von Till's latest album "A Grave Is A Grim Horse" is a masterclass in dark, brooding folk that will have you questioning your own existence. The Neurosis frontman delves deep into themes of mortality and the human condition, creating a hauntingly beautiful sonic landscape that is equal parts mesmerising and unsettling.

From the haunting opening track "The Old Straight Track" to the apocalyptic closer "Revealed in the Thaw", Von Till's gravelly vocals and intricate guitar work weave a spellbinding tale of despair and redemption. His lyrical prowess is on full display here, with poignant lines like "We are but shadows in the dark / Waiting for the flame to spark" sticking with you long after the music has stopped.

The production on "A Grave Is A Grim Horse" is top-notch, with every instrument and sound carefully arranged to create a rich tapestry of sound. The use of strings and ambient textures adds a layer of depth to the music, enhancing the overall mood of the album.

In a sea of generic folk albums, Steve Von Till stands out as a true artist, unafraid to confront the darker aspects of life and set them to music. "A Grave Is A Grim Horse" is a haunting, beautiful journey through the abyss of the human soul, and is not to be missed.
