Gravemind

“Conduit; a person, place, or system that is used for passing information from one group of people to another”.

Our album Conduit is about dissociation, exhaustion and confusion.

It’s about coming to terms with one's mortality, and it’s about taking control of anything that must be.

The album is hypocritical, contradictory, violent and chaotic - above all, it is allowed to be vulnerable, it is allowed to be honest.

It is a conduit for a universal truth that we are all in this together, whether we can articulate that meaning or not.
