Electro-industrial band, OUR GRAVES has just unleashed their debut, full-length album, System Overload. The album is a passionate tribute to the electro-industrial, EBM, and aggrotech genres. It seeks to strike a delicate balance: honoring the roots of the scene while weaving in new ideas to keep the sound fresh and engaging. With System Overload, Ron Graves has crafted the dark, intense, and undeniably industrial music he wants to see more of in the world.
Lyrically, System Overload draws from a time of grief and reflection following the loss of Graves' father the previous year. Without an overarching concept in mind, the themes of the album emerged organically, revolving around the search for meaning amidst a decaying world. Some of the tracks on System Overload offer critiques of institutions that seek to control us while others offer a glimpse into the personal wars within and others explore the disturbing consequences of societal degeneration.
System Overload is available on all major digital platforms including Bandcamp and Spotify.
