Artist Spotlight: 1476

Hey everyone!

It's that time of the week, it's time for this week's edition of Artist Spotlight! This week's featured artist is 1476! 1476 is a death rock/folk band based out of Salem, Massachusetts that consists of Neil DeRosa and Robb Kavijan who have blended together an incredible blend of folk rock and death rock that is not as intense as one might imagine. The music is of a calm and relaxed nature that immediately takes you in and makes you aware of its warmth and beauty of the surroundings around you with folk inspired rhythms and soft, relaxing vocals that take the listener on a remarkable musical journey. I never expected a death rock/folk band to sound like this, and this was one of the most enjoyable listens that I've had the pleasure to partake in doing these Artist Spotlight features for the past year! Some highlights from them include "Swallow the Sun" and "Dithyramb".

The band's debut effort, "A Wolf's Age" was released last year and the band recently just released their brand new EP, "Smoke in the Sky".
