about
Primitive Graven Image was formed in 2006 in Buckinghamshire, UK by guitarists and brothers Rob and Luke Lehane aka Ljosalfur and Dokkalfur, out of a love for the traditional black metal style. Immortal, Darkthrone and Emperor were the flavour of the day and a 6 track demo of spontaneous, infectious blackness was swiftly kicked into shape. In just 2 months, the band were offered a deal and signed to Pennsylvania based Open Grave Records, who released the band's demo to the press as a sign of things to come. The band's debut album "Traversing The Awesome Night" was released in May 2007 in the midst of the enthusiasm, provoking good responses from the black metal underground and beyond in the USA, Europe, Australia, and the UK alike, putting the band on the black metal map almost immediately. A live show of unrelenting fury was swiftly put together. Drummer Matt “Vordhr” Platts, previously of the pre-Akercocke "Salem Orchid" line up, and more recently of Interlock and Empyreal Destroyer, was soon convinced, and was followed shortly afterwards by Bassist Joshua “Mjolnir” Langford Coxon, who took up the remaining five strings. Debuting the live show at Chesham's Fusion festival on 07/07/07 - a truly magickal date - the band won the audience over with a set of warp speed blast beats, deranged groove, tribal fury and sheer intensity resulting in the band being invited back to headline the festival the following year. Working now as a fully functional four piece, work began on
