Biography

Primitive Graven Image was formed in 2006 by guitarists and brothers Rob and Luke Lehane aka Ljosalfur and Dokkalfur, out of a love for the traditional black metal style. Immortal, Darkthrone and Emperor were the flavour of the day and a 6 track demo of spontaneous, infectious blackness was swiftly kicked into shape.

In just 2 months, the band were offered a deal and signed to Pennsylvania based Open Grave Records, who released the band’s demo to the press as a sign of things to come. The band’s debut album “Traversing The Awesome Night” was released in May 2007 in the midst of the enthusiasm, provoking good responses from the black metal underground and beyond in the USA, Europe, Australia, and the UK alike, putting the band on the black metal map almost immediately.

A live show of unrelenting fury was swiftly put together. Drummer Matt “Vordhr” Platts, previously of the pre-Akercocke “Salem Orchid” line up, and more recently of Interlock and Empyreal Destroyer, was soon convinced, and was followed shortly afterwards by Bassist Joshua “Mjolnir” Langford Coxon, who took up the remaining five strings. Debuting the live show at Chesham’s Fusion festival on 07/07/07 - a truly magickal date - the band won the audience over with a set of warp speed blast beats, derranged groove, tribal fury and sheer intensity resulting in the band being invited back to headline the festival the following year.

    Maybe I'm just getting burnt out on black metal, but the new album doesn't really impress me. It's solid and good production, I guess. Just nothing really... unique, I guess.

    Following up from Ljosalfurs comment in january. The finished product is in my (and i assume the rest of the bands opinion) absolutely mint! Russ was worth every penny we spenting on the mixing and mastering plus being a sound dude to work with! Much fun was had in the studio! When we find a label to release this buy it and tune in! you WILL not be disappointed. Also it most is not "true" black metal anymore as was said earlier! It's turned into quite a "different" beast ;) expect something special.. Mjolnir.

    Thanks for the comments over the last few months (year?!). The new album is taking stupidly long because we can't get the sound right. In 3 weeks time we are going up to Russ Russell's (Dimmu, Napalm Death etc..) for mixing and mastering. He'll help i'm sure! The new album shall be excellent. Its certainly not 'true' black metal tho! SORRY GUYS!
