New York's Gravesend has returned with a new recording which shows the music going for a mixture of war, black, death metal and grindcore and this is a review of their 2023 album "Gowanus Death Stomp' which will be released in october by 20 Buck Spin.
The sounds of insects start off the album along with some soundscapes and spoken word samples a few seconds later before going into a heavier musical direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats and war metal elements can also be heard and the vocals also add in a lot of black metal screams.
At times the music captures the brutality of grindcore while the tremolo picking in the faster riffing also gives the album more of a raw feeling. A great portion of the tracks are also very short in length along with the songs also mixing in touches of 90's era death metal and a few bestial growls.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as some of the riffing also bringing in a small amount of dark sounding melodies, synths are also added towards the end. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover vermin, decay and filth themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Gravesend and if you are a fan of war, black, death metal and grindcore, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "11414" "Code Of Silence" "Thirty Caliber Pesticide" and "Vermin Victory". 8 out of 10.
