ARTWORK BY DOM PABON

 

On May 29th, BALMORA will release their highly-anticipated debut album, THESE GRAVEN HALLS, through DAZE. Three years in the making, the record pushes the dynamics of metal, weaving elements of metalcore and melodic black metal with a futuristic touch. The lyrics build off self-reflection, tracing through anguish, deception, and power. Influences pull from the obvious like The Black Dahlia Murder and On Broken Wings to a mix of media, classical, and modern music - Requiem For A Dream, Silent Hill, Philip Glass, Bladee. As BALMORA make significant impact in reaching their true self as a band, they bring in friends from I Promised The World, Upon Stone, Empty Shell Casing and Holder to feature on the album. THESE GRAVEN HALLS was recorded at The Source in New Haven, CT with production, engineering, and mixing by band members Chaz Torok and Jay Torblaa, and mastering by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege.
