Juniper Grave Release Debut Album Of Hellions and Harridans Dec. 7
Scottish four-piece Juniper Grave formed in 2016 and issued a two-track demo in 2017 that featured the songs ‘Lunar Calling’ and ‘The Bridge Between Worlds.’ The cultish-leaning outfit have signed to Wasted State Records and both of those tracks will feature on their debut album, Of Hellions and Harridans, which is due out Dec. 7. There’s no audio from the record yet and the demo has been taken down from Bandcamp in place of a preorder page for the LP — fair enough — but the live clip below gives some sense of the band’s approach with guitarist Shonagh and bassist Sarah providing backing vocals for organist Jenni, and it seems likely those arrangements will factor heavily in the album (haven’t heard it, so can’t confirm that) along with the weighted grooves and eerie organ melodies. Also dig the purported themes of “warrior women and accursed souls.” Would be a nice change from all that horror-movie silly whatnot that seems to abound everywhere you look.
The PR wire has details:
JUNIPER GRAVE TO RELEASE DEBUT ALBUM THIS DECEMBER!
Edinburgh based witch-rock band JUNIPER GRAVE have announced the release of their hotly anticipated debut album titled ‘Of Hellions & Harridans’!
Formed in 2016 peddling their unique brand of occult rock with strong tinges of the doom, JUNIPER GRAVE have quickly grown their coven of fans at live shows, such as in support of Dystopian Future Movies or Church Of The Cosmic Skull, and progressed towards the album writing at the start of 2018.
This summer, JUNIPER GRAVE entered the Chamber Studio in Edinburgh to record their debut album ‘Of Hellions & Harridans’, which is set for a release with Wasted State Records on December 7th 2018!
“After two years of weaving and crafting we can’t wait to share our stories of warrior women and accursed souls with the world.“ Says the band. “The themes, although fantastical, embody our ethos of empowerment and sisterhood and we are really proud of these seven songs of ruin and revenge.”
The tracklist will read as follows:
1. The Forest
2. A Trick Of The Light
3. Daughters of the Waves
4. The Bridge Between Worlds
5. Dance of the Daemon Queen
6. Lunar Calling
7. Rest With Your Dead (Faoiltighearna)
