NOTE: Not to be confused with a hardcore/rock band from Grand Rapids!
BAND NAME: Daygraves
GENRE: Post-Black Metal / Blackgaze / Post-Rock
STATUS: Active
LOCATION: USA (Austin, Texas)
Formed in 2020. From [this interview],
"I started Daygraves because of the pandemic. I was like, 'Well, if I’m going to be sitting at home more than normal, then I should do something with it.' I had a few ideas just hanging out because I had been listening to blackgaze for so long, so I just threw it together and put it up. I didn’t really think anybody was ever going to hear it, so I just put it together really fast. I think it took me like a month to do Silver. I just got it out there, and then a few people actually heard it, so I was like, 'Oh, maybe I’ll make another one' ".
From that same page, he says of the name "Daygraves",
"It doesn’t have a real meaning; it’s more like the image. I knew I was making blackgaze leaning towards post-black metal, so it was going to deal with elements of darkness. But since I also knew what the lyrical content was going to be and my spirituality was going to be involved, I knew that there was also going to be this element of light. I wanted to combine those two things. That’s why there’s not a space between those two words."

Silver (album, 28 July, 2020, Independent)
Format: Digital / Bandcamp
Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
1) Morning Stars
7:26, lyrics:
Tell me where were you when I established the Earth
If you have understanding, tell me you know.
Who fixed it dimensions?
Who set the foundations?
Who laid it’s corner stone?
Tell me you know.
The morning stars sang together
The sons of God shout for joy
And where is the road to the home of light?
Tell me if you know where the darkness lives.
The morning stars sang together
The sons of God shout for joy
“How could I answer?
I’ll place my hand over my mouth.
I can add nothing.”
Get ready to answer me.
Would you inform me?
Can you tell me?
Would you challenge my justice?
Would you declare me guilty just to justify yourself?
You can’t justify yourself.
Do you have an arm like Gods?
Does your voice shake like thunder?
Can you clothe yourself in honor and splendor?
The morning stars sang together
The sons of God shout for joy
2) The Headache. The Heartache
7:24, lyrics:
How many times
can I ask you to forget
All of the lies that I tell to myself?
The headache.
The heartache
that I gave to myself
trying to be like You
without Your help.
How many times
can I ask you to give
mercy for my mind
Honey for my lips
How many times can you forgive?
Ive thrown enough stones
to make a mountain all of my own.
But I can’t seem
to throw this one into the sea.
3) So Weep
4:39, lyrics:
Those who sow with their tears will reap with songs of joy.
So weep.
Those who go out weeping
carrying seeds to sow
will return with songs of joy
carrying the sheaves with them
like those who dream
Those who sow will bring songs of joy
4) Oh, Gates
4:23, lyrics:
Lift up your head, oh gates
Rise up ancient doors.
Lift up your head, oh gates
Rise up ancient doors.
The king of glory will come in.
The lord God.
Strong and mighty.
Yeah, He’s coming with glory.
He’s the Lord of hosts.
Strong and mighty.
He’s coming.
Who can ascend his holy mountain?
Who can stand in His holy place?
Who is the king of glory?
He’s coming.
The King of Glory
is coming.
5) Undone
5:38, lyrics:
I want to speak in tears.
I want to cry in tongues.
I need You to unmake me.
I need the undone.
I've thrown enough stones
to make a mountain all of my own.
But I can’t seem to throw this one into the sea.
Woah is me, I am unclean.
OH, HOLY. Yeah. Holy is the Lord.
Yeah. Holy is the Lord almighty.
I want to speak in tears.
I want to cry in tongues.
I need You to unmake me.
I need the undone.

Stream / Download (OFFICIAL)
1) The Final Empire
8:03, lyrics:
Holy One,
You empty oceans. You snuff out suns.
Fill me with their fear and fire.
Bring the light
until there's no place new to shine
The end of darkness is the death of me.
And who can deliver me
from this body of death?
There's a different kind of distance between us
The compass can not guide
The clock can not keep time
from crumbling
into memories
Let the dark dissolve
like all kingdoms fall
Death will die with time
The Final Empire
Time will die with death
The Final Empire
Holy One,
You empty oceans and snuff out suns
So bring back the light.
The end of darkness is the death of me
and this body of death.
You empty oceans. You snuff out suns.
Fill me with their fear and fire.
Bring the light
until there's no place new to shine
The end of darkness is the death of me.
And who can deliver me
from this body of death?
There's a different kind of distance between us
The compass can not guide
The clock can not keep time
from crumbling
into memories
Let the dark dissolve
like all kingdoms fall
Death will die with time
The Final Empire
Time will die with death
The Final Empire
Holy One,
You empty oceans and snuff out suns
So bring back the light.
The end of darkness is the death of me
and this body of death.

For the cassette version, 1-2 are on Side A, and 3-4 on Side B.
Taken from [this interview]
"A few years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. [. . .] The last time I was in the hospital I had the music recorded for all the songs except Imperishable. That one was just an incomplete idea. I spent a week in the hospital, and I could only watch so much Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. I wrote all the lyrics in that bed as I tried to figure out what was happening to me and what my response should be. Then, when I got back home, I rearranged Imperishable to mimic how it feels to be slowly wheeled down a hospital hallway, surrounded by cold, other sick people and the sounds of beeping machines."

2) The Loneliest Liturgy 6:42
3) Imperishable 3:22
