“…intimate, folk-inspired heaviness…” – Heavy Blog Is Heavy
Heavy Blog Is Heavy is hosting an exclusive stream of »In My Grave…Silence«, the third album from Portland, Oregon-based Dolven, ahead of the record’s release this Friday on Fiadh Productions and Winding Stair Records.
Led by Dolven’s main songwriter Nick Wusz (Travellers Rest), »In My Grave…Silence« brings together an extraordinary and experienced lineup. Jason Walton (Agalloch, MoonBladder, Sculptured) lends his brooding, expressive bass, Hunter Ginn (Agalloch, Canvas Solaris, Radical Research) provides intricate yet restrained drumming that underscores the album’s dynamic tension, and Jori Apedaile (Eneferens, Hyalithe) delivers haunting, emotional vocal passages that drift like lost souls through the album’s desolate soundscapes.
Engineered by Jason Walton at Earth In Sound, »In My Grave…Silence« was mixed and mastered at Unisound by the legendary Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Katatonia, Opeth, Bloodbath), ensuring that every note lingers like a ghost in the cold air. Swanö’s presence and touch bring the album to elevated levels of sonic bliss. The album is completed with medieval cover artwork and logo by Alexandr, and additional illustrations by Thaumaturge Artworks.
Fans of Warning, 40 Watt Sun, My Dying Bride, Anathema, Solitude Aeturnus, Dan Swanö, Aerial Ruin, Nest, Antimatter, and similar acts – imagined in a fully acoustic setting – do not miss out on Dolven’s »In My Grave…Silence«.
Heavy Blog Is Heavy conducted a short interview with the band which now runs alongside their advance stream of the album, the piece reading in part, “Dolven’s distinct brand of intimate, folk-inspired heaviness that both embraces and challenges the expansiveness of doom is comfortable, established. Each note is measured, each beat exactly where it needs to be.”

Dolven emerges once more from the shadows with their third album, »In My Grave…Silence«, a deeply atmospheric and emotionally resonant exploration of acoustic doom. Stripping doom metal down to its rawest essence, Dolven crafts a sound that is both intimate and immense – where the weight of sorrow and the depth of mourning is carried not by distortion, but by melody, space, and the ghostly echoes of silence itself. Exploring themes of loss, love, and suffering, Dolven reduces its sound down to their emotional core.
The result is a powerful album that speaks in whispers yet resounds with a crushing emotional weight. Songs like »Sun Bleached Stones« and »Just Like All The Rest« unfold like funeral hymns, rich with melancholy and reflection. The interplay of acoustic guitars, spacious percussion, and sorrowful harmonies creates a sense of time slowing, of the earth reclaiming all things, of silence itself becoming a voice. Punctuated with three haunting instrumentals, the album sits well with contemplation and reflection. For those who find solace in doom metal and emotional music, »In My Grave…Silence« is an offering of beauty and loss, a quiet meditation on finality. This is doom in its purest form – not just the genre, but a feeling, an experience, a passage into the depths of your soul.
