SUNGRAVE's music is a visceral journey which alternates between heavy and ambient sound, but is always accompanied by an unwavering darkness. The band's distinct blend of contrasts creates an auditory environment which invites into dark recesses where the juxtaposition between aggression and atmosphere creates an intriguing, yet unsettling experience.
Black Tide, the fourth track on their upcoming concept album Idyll, is an unprocessed reflection on the agony of the transition between life and death. Drawing on the band's personal experiences with overdose, the song expresses the fragile, harrowing state of existence at its most vulnerable.
With its shifting dynamics, Black Tide fluctuates between harrowing, droning ambiances and explosive peaks, creating an emotional sonic rollercoaster which mirrors the internal conflict.
