New England (USA)-based act Ancine, the solo project of artist Michael Holgrave, has released today its new album, Death Hymns II: Book Of Tribulation. This new offering cements Ancine’s place in the world of gothic America, blending raw, morose sounds with the haunting beauty of neo-folk. With a distinctly New England twist, this record invites listeners into a world steeped in the darkness and history of the region—one deeply rooted in the tales of H.P. Lovecraft, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Edgar Allen Poe.
The follow-up to Death Hymns I, Book Of Tribulation (released in February 2924) expands upon the project's signature mix of delta blues, dissonant reverb-drenched gothic rock, and Western influences. The album explores themes of the macabre and the dark undercurrents of American roots music, all through the lens of Holgrave’s visceral songwriting and evocative instrumentation.
Fans of bands like Panopticon, Wovenhand, and Death In June will find a kindred spirit in Ancine’s unique sound—a raw and captivating blend of gothic Americana with an undeniable sense of haunting beauty. Link
