Our Graves drops debut album, ‘System Overload’ – Out now
Our Graves
Oakland-based electro-industrial band Our Graves – founded in 2024 – has officially released its debut album, “System Overload”. The album showcases a blend of electro-industrial, EBM. The band is fronted by Ron Graves, also known for his work with Suicide Queen and Noctronyx.
“System Overload” was born from a period of grief and reflection following the loss of Ron Graves’ father. The album’s tracks handle themes of societal decay and personal struggle. Some songs critique oppressive institutions, while others explore inner conflict and the consequences of moral collapse.
You can download the release right now from Bandcamp or stream via other digital services.

Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void.
