Insect Graveyard
A Modern Perspective on the Artist
Insect Graveyard delivers a sound that loosely resembles a collective of washed away synthesizers and dried out guitars. The music is presented minimistically - based on the qualification that less is more.
The music is recorded in a way that reflects the natural beauty of the instruments used. Vintage synthesizers are crossed with rare drum machines which connect a sound that is hard to pinpoint – the songs are sometimes cinematic and at times enigmatic.
While the chord progressions are distant and smooth the outcome evokes a certain feeling of solitary. Trapped in this space the listener is forced to confide in the darker recesses of one’s own imagination.
Involvement with Autocrat U.K.
In recent years Insect Graveyard has consulted Producer Autocrat who has lent his production skills and reworked some of Insect Graveyard's core songs such as "Asia Minor Was the Key That Tore Us Apart" and "When the Turk Falls".
Other Music Involvement
Throughout the years, Levon has worked in numerous projects, most notibly There Goes Atlantis (1993-1996) and The Macro-Invertebrates (2000-2002). The song "Asia Minor Was the Key that Tore Us Apart" was written and partially recorded under the Macro-Invertebrates marque before the material was eventually finalized under the Insect Graveyard project name. Because of this Josh Healy has engineering credits because the first recording takes were done with his help.

Other Artists on Insect Graveyard
Three of my all time favorite songs were written by Insect Graveyard, if you've not heard "When The Turk Falls," "Asia Minor Was The Key That Tore Us Apart" or "Lesbian" you've missed out on some of the most instantly emotional and raw music to be set to tape.
The first time I heard "Plan B Baton Rouge" I felt an intense connection, and could not believe the emotional details and how accurately this song summed up what I was feeling at the time.
