GRAY GHOST
deep in the shallow end (2009/CHAINSAW SAFETY)
POST-HARDCORE. Atlanta's GRAY GHOST continues their slow, dark sound towards oblivion with their 2nd release. Still loosely based in the realm of hardcore, the band's sound is a progressive mixture of drone, hardcore, and metal. "deep in the shallow end" shows the band adding more complex layers to their songwriting process. Lyrically the record announces an unapologetic reaction to our modern day, dysfunctional world. Each song bleeds into the next to retain a choke hold effect. Cover art by Ryan Patterson adds to the bleak harsh nature of the music inside.

Appealing to both scenes lethally and equally as a new kind of aggressive aural amalgamation. "Life is wasted on the living" takes their trend killing approach to new heights.

to the ends of the earth (2012/D.I.Y.)
HARDCORE. GREAT REVERSALS from DEtroit drawing inspiration from bands like TRIAL, MODERN LIFE IS WAR, BANE and a bit of QUICKSAND, meld dense riffs, soaring melody, raw emotion and reflective lyrics with hopes of replicating the spirit of '90s hardcore.
