Grave - Morbid Ascent EP

Grave have over the years become one of the most consistent brutal death metal bands around, and this new EP shows no signs of them slowing down yet. It includes just two brand new tracks, but we also get a cover version of Satyricon’s “Possessed”, a remix version of “Epos” as well as the newly recorded version of “Reality Of Life”, a classic Grave demo track from 1989’s “Sexual Mutilation” demo. “Venial Sin”, the opening track, also features some guest solos by Autopsy’s Eric Cutler. It is punchy, it is surprisingly long for a 5 track death metal EP (just over 26 minutes), and in many ways is the perfect appendix to last year’s ‘The Endless Procession of Souls’. If you see the name Grave on the outside, then you know that there is going to be some mighty powerful music on the inside.
