Teeth To Sky

Description

"We all grew up listening to heavy music. For me personally, listening to artists like Swans, Godflesh, Neurosis and Kiss It Goodbye in my twenties was cathartic in many ways. Identifying with people who have a similar worldview, who channel their angst and frustration into the creative outlet of art and music—that was important." Josh Graham isn't just talking about his multi-decade career in heavy music, which includes A Storm of Light, Battle of Mice, and many years as the sole visual department for Neurosis. He's also talking about the formation of Guiltless, his new band with bassist Sacha Dunable (Intronaut), drummer Billy Graves (Generation of Vipers), and guitarist Dan Hawkins (A Storm of Light). Guiltless released their debut EP, Thorns, via Neurot Recordings in early 2024. Crushing and joyless, it seemed to welcome the apocalypse looming on our collective horizon. "The EP had a fairly narrow vision. The new album is meant to open up the sonic palette and explore more territory." This new album is called Teeth to Sky, the band's first full-length. Even more pulverizing and focused than its predecessor, the album's collaborative songwriting approach was paired with a shift in lyrical content. Teeth To Sky was recorded remotely by the members of Guiltless, except for the drums, which were recorded by Travis Kammeyer (Generation of Vipers) at Fahrenheit Studios in Johnson City, Tennessee. The album was mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City in Salem, Massachusetts, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, Oregon.
