Crawl Across The Sky - The Silent God (2017)

A sonic declaration of human suffering and and critique on art and the Church, The Silent God is the latest and most ambitious effort by Ellicott City native and currently Chicago-based artist Crawl Across the Sky. Composed of multiple elements from post-metal soundscapes and lush orchestration, these twenty-one tracks, altogether spanning a playtime of almost an hour and half, explore the possibility of purposeful human existence, universal suffering, and the existence of an omni-benevolent, omniscient, and omnipotent god.

Multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer Nathan Kwon (ex-Tapestry, the Band), the mind behind musical projects Crawl Across the Sky, Haeun, Lavender, Ashen Swan, and Copernican, has embarked beyond his usual ambient and drone territory and also engages with post-metal, orchestral, and black metal elements to create an unusual narrative, utilizing genres to allow listeners to partake in an aural odyssey of emotion and philosophy. Tracked, produced, mixed, and mastered in both a small bedroom in Ellicott City, Maryland and in a dorm room in Wheaton, Illinois, with the help of talented vocalists Hannah Lane and Charis McIntyre, The Silent God is a raw and honest attempt by a small independent musician to express his journey of faith and life.
