GRAVES AT SEA Stream New Song "Dead Eyes"
February 18, 2016, 8 years ago
Portland sludge / doom quartet Graves At Sea has just shared a new song from their forthcoming debut full-length The Curse That Is. "Dead Eyes", a monolithic, eleven-minute anthem, can be streamed now via the SoundCloud audio player below.
Graves At Sea's debut full-length The Curse That Is, is a tour-de-force of incredible magnitude nearly fifteen years in the making. The album will see a worldwide release on April 1st via Relapse Records. Physical preorders are available at this location.
In addition, title track "The Curse That Is" can be heard via the YouTube clip below.
After issuing a series of highly-regarded demos and splits, the quartet has re-emerged, having recently cut their teeth performing on mainstages at Maryland Deathfest, Roadburn and numerous other festivals. Now, Graves At Sea unleashes their strongest, most ear-shattering material to date. Engineered by Greg Wilkinson (Noothgrush, Brainoil) and mastered by Brad Boatright (Sleep, Yob, Old Man Gloom), The Curse That Is effortlessly fuses colossal walls of feedback-laden sound with gargantuan riffs that crush and crawl with the weight of mountains alongside thunderous rhythms meant to tear a hole in this dying earth. Coupled with self-loathing lyrics of torment and demise, the listener is engulfed in wave upon wave of aural misery throughout the over seventy-minute ride through Hell.
