Oak, Ash & Thorn Share New Video for “Dying Culture” 

Oak, Ash & Thorn have shared a new video for “Dying Culture” from their forthcoming album Our Grief Is Thus.

The record will be out April 19 via Lost Future Records, and this song is about urbanization and loss of tradition.

The album was recorded at the Blasting Room (founded by Black Flag/Descendents drummer Bill Stevenson) in Ft. Collins, CO in June-July of 2023, and will finally be seeing the light of day soon.

According to the band’s press release:

“(This album) marks the first time in Oak, Ash & Thorn’s history that the band walked out of a studio with an album fully representing their vision. The songs on Our Grief is Thus are tighter than on prior recordings, with the band reaching beyond their pagan death/black metal foundation to take novel influence from the galloping energy of crust punk, power metal’s soaring triumph, post-punk’s brooding dynamics, and the unconventional melodies of prog metal.”

Vocalist/guitarist Adam Armstrong explained that producer/recording engineer Colton Krohn and guest producer Taylor Hahn were instrumental in creating the album. He says:

“They pulled the absolute best performances out of us, and their expertise and advice on arrangement were like nothing we’d ever had before.”

Oak, Ash & Thorn hail from Colorado. Their debut full-length, May Every Altar Linger from 2018, was followed in 2021 by the EP To Gaze on Stars of Frost, and at the time, the band refined their sound further by enlisting Fabian Jiru of Trollfest (Napalm Records) for production duties.

In 2023, the band would work with Jiru once more on the Eternal EP, issued by new label Lost Future Records. Preorder the EP now.
