A new voice steps forward to put our concerns and frustrations into words; that voice is GUILTLESS. Embodied by Billy Graves (Generation Of Vipers) on drums, Dan Hawkins (A Storm Of Light) on guitar and noise, Sacha Dunable (Intronaut) on bass, and Josh Graham (A Storm Of Light, Battle Of Mice, Neurosis’ former visual artist) on guitar, vocals, and noise, the band was born from a love of experimental rock, noise rock, early industrial, sludge, and doom.
GUILTLESS creates apocalyptic soundscapes in their imaginings of the surreal return to proto-human society, as well as what life might be like for the survivors of the next mass extinction event on Thorns. Human singularity, a third world war, scorching deserts, rising seas – it’s all coming for us. We’re all guiltless. We’re all blameless. Through this cycle of destruction and rebirth, GUILTLESS believes that art and music can give us solace or help us exercise our demons.
Guiltless released their debut EP, Thorns, via Neurot Recordings in early 2024. Crushing and cheerless, it seemed to welcome the apocalypse looming on our collective horizon. “The EP had a pretty narrow focus starting from my ideas,” Graham explains. “I wrote the basic outlines for the songs and then reached out to the guys to see if they’d actually want to play on it. With this record, my main goal was to really collaborate with Sacha and Dan and Billy because those guys are great songwriters. The new album is meant to open up the sonic palette and explore more territory.”
That new album is 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 an adjustment to the lyrical content. “On the EP, the lyrics are as bleak as possible,” Graham points out. “I wanted to try to turn that around a little bit for Teeth to Sky. It’s a more introspective record. It’s expressing the idea of taking advantage of your life while you have it. It’s still dark in nature, but I think somewhat less doom-and-gloom.”
Guiltless will release their new album the 7 TH march 2025.
