Somber and sincere, Catacomb Fires is the latest, greatest release from Des Moines' very own Diamonds For Eyes. Joshua Putney's evocative vocals march down deep below the surface of the earth into some sort of crevasse where all of your darkest fears become very real. Putney's foreboding aura is meshed with the well-written, reflective sound of the rest of the band as they carry this gem of an album from start to finish like a mid-summer night's parade.
No Lament For True Lovers kicks off with a radio alert that says police are investigating a case in which a 23-year old newlywed has been found dead in a West Des Moines cellar. Featuring husband and wife band-mates, this video will string you along for the ride as Kristen Putney (bassist) ensnares her husband into a journey of life and death.
