Der Weg by The Wright Valley Trio

"Am I on a journey with no destination or return? That’s it? Just a mere vision of madness? Consumed by just two thoughts; two giants with boundless rage and unbridled power beating at the gray mass which once was home to something one could call character. Hopelessness and self-destruction, and with them alcohol and soon other drug abuse, take hold. At least they promise to free me from the all-enveloping loneliness. That's the way I’ve taken."

"Der Weg" (engl. “The Way”) challenges listeners with an inevitable confrontation of themselves while breaking all boundaries of conventional music. Exceeding the three-hour mark in its entirety, "Der Weg" uses low tuned instruments/guitars to take listeners on a journey into the deepest and darkest corners of the self. The beats and riffs create a world which makes listeners feel the viscous tar that life can be. A world of rapid blasts providing them with adrenaline rushes. And a world with almost peaceful-seeming fields of harmonium and synths; taking the listeners on an almost spiritual journey.

We are from Wiesbaden (Germany) and play a flavour of Doom, Sludge and Post-Blackmetal. Named after one of the most barren places on earth, a huge dry valley in Antarctica, warmth and comfort are none of our strength. Instead we create massive walls of sound which we unleash on the listeners. Our trademark are really long songs, ranging from cultivated boredom to heavy riffs.
