Sludgecore trio EARTHGRAVE summon a
crawling miasma of growling guitars, hoarse screams and driving drums on their
debut album 'The Verge Of Human
Abyss' fit to make Eyehategod proud.
The
band move between grooving mid-tempo doom-tinged sludge into chugging hardcore
breakdown territory with ease and competence, with the occasional punk outburst
and d-beat bringing the tempo back up, almost in places touching on old school
death metal akin to “Realm Of Chaos”
era Bolt
Thrower.
Art
on this release mirrors the lyrics and vocals; bleak, monochrome imagery
collaged together with ragged edges hinting at themes of suffering and the
worst elements of human nature.
'The Verge Of Human Abyss' drops on the 7th of July
via WOOAAARGH
on CD/MC and digital download. The limited Cassette Edition is a co-release
with Black
Omega Recordings. Today ahead
of the album’s official release we’re debuting two blistering tracks which you can check out below. So if
you’re fans of Seven Sisters of Sleep, Crowbar,
Integrity, Eyehategod and Bongzilla then this is a band not to be
missed. You
