Biography
Brooklyn, New York, United States (2007 – present)
The end of times is a concept that’s been with mankind since he first began daubing blood and ash on cave walls, and now Brooklyn’s heaviest of hitters A Storm of Light are picking up the baton with their latest masterpiece, “Forgive Us Our Trespasses.”
The band have already proven themselves master storytellers, their acclaimed 2008 debut “And We Wept the Black Ocean Within” sending shockwaves through the avant metal underground with its bracken-draped tales of seafaring woe and this year’s “Primitive North” collaboration with Nadja cementing their status as leading lights in the ever-shifting realms of metal’s experimental fringes.
“Forgive Us Our Trespasses” showcases a more refined sound and a significant broadening of scope, the band leading the listener on a millennial journey that sees the modest curls of smoke rising from nomadic campsites gradually replaced by the billowing smokestacks of industry before being cast down and consigned to the soil once more as the planet rouses from its aeon-long slumber.
“All you really have to do is look around you to see where things are headed,” muses guitarist, vocalist and in-house artist Josh Graham, “the album basically charts humankind’s journey toward oblivion as the planet awakens and tips the scales back in its own favour. Needless to say, the outlook for humanity in all of this isn’t exactly too bright.”

ASOL BORING?! If ASOL are boring then we can definitely throw away more than the 50% of the bands that we use to define "post/posthc/screamo..etc".

it's always fun when someone in front of you (without knowledge of you reading it) types your thoughts into his phone tweeting about a storm of light. 6th time i saw them now and it's always the same.

Post-ironic? You have "Have A Nice Life" on your lastfm, and act like that isn't lame.

Aha! A line from Ray Bradbury's 1953. "Fahrenheit 451" on page 124: "A STORM OF LIGHT fell upon the river and Montag dived under the great illumination as if the sun had broken the clouds."

What should I check out? I had And We Wept... For years but never got into it but Mass came on shuffle the other day and I really dug it, ended up listening to it in my car over and over.
