THE

MEET THE BAND:

OUR SACRED GROUNDS is a rising force in modern metal, delivering an emotionally charged fusion of raw aggression, atmosphere, and melody. Hailing from New Jersey and now based in Nashville, TN, the band carves out their name with a sound balancing chaos and clarity — where bone-crushing riffs meet cinematic soundscapes, and vulnerability collides with power.

Fully self-produced and independent, Our Sacred Grounds blends elements of metalcore, nu-metal, post-metal and edm, forging a signature style defined by introspection. Lyrically rooted in personal struggle, resilience, and transformation, each track serves as a cathartic release — both for the band and the listener.

With a growing discography available on all streaming platforms and a vision to make music a full-time calling, Our Sacred Grounds is known for their DIY ethic, emotional depth, and an unfiltered connection with their audience. Whether on stage or in the studio, they are here to turn pain into purpose — one song at a time.

COLLIN SILK

I’m Collin - 1/2 frontman, producer and creative force behind Our Sacred Grounds, our metal band built on raw emotion, truth, and sonic intensity. I live for live performances, honest connection, and making music that shakes people awake. Every riff, scream, and lyric is crafted with purpose. Drawing from deep life experience, personal transformation, and the unfiltered realities I, and we all face.

Booking it 700+ miles from my New Jersey hometown, I currently reside in Nashville, TN, where I remain focused on building a powerful presence for our band both off and on stage. I self-produce everything we release, and I’m constantly pushing the boundaries of what’s possible as musicians. My mission is to create art that hits hard and means something to people.

This journey’s been messy, beautiful, and intense. And through it all, I’ve learned that the most meaningful thing you can do is show up fully as yourself. Authenticity brought to every lyric, every sound, every moment is the path I chose.

— LEAD VOCALIST, CINEMATOGRAPHER/PHOTOGRAPHER

I’m Rob — 1/2 frontman, photographer and filmmaker driven by a deep passion for storytelling in every form. I moved halfway across the country to chase a dream, and I’ve been building it ever since.

Through the lens, I capture raw emotion. Through the music, I turn havoc into sound. Through content, I connect with others chasing their own path.

I am the heart of the visual content you see through Our Sacred Grounds, my metal band that blends intensity with sensation. When I’m not on stage or behind the camera, I’m exploring new coffee spots, building my own brand, and creating content that inspires others to take risks and follow their own wild vision.

Whether you’re here for visuals, sound, or something real — welcome to the journey.
