about

Recorded in the basement during quarantine 2020

"The untidy sounds coming from Chain Gang Grave are an assimilation of the bands name itself, a sum of its parts broken down to the frayed and sizzling circuitry. Theres an unstable balance of lurching heaviness here, but far from typical or cliched... The band delivers dissonant rock structures with a jagged melody built underneath the smell of burning hair and thrift store perfume. These elements are placed on the coveted top shelf along with other valuable anti-trophies as a glaring warning, and a prize, to future cave dwelling primitives..."
-Mike IX Williams, Eyehategod

“It’s like someone got Black Flag all types of messed up and then explained death metal to them.”
–Metal Injection

"If you’ve ever wondered how would Eyehategod sound if they switched their downers to uppers, Chain Gang Grave are here to show you... Some real blood-spitting music."
–The Pit

“The New York City outfit leans closest to hardcore but that doesn’t mean they also don’t dish out Melvins-like noise rock, filthy death metal, and dissonant yet melodic parts into the mix...”
–No Echo

"I can’t get over how this duo blends Hardcore Punk, Death Rock, and Death Metal to manifest a sound that’s really 1 of 1. Chain Gang Grave is depraved AF."
-CVLT Nation

"Death rock, death metal, sludge, noise, punk, and hardcore are the genres covered across these nine tracks which, on paper, sounds ludicrous but the way this two piece approaches this amalgamation is nothing short of astounding and electric. The production trudges through the sewers and that’s just part of this album’s glory; it’s nasty yet holds a ton of fuck you punk energy, its fangs are sharp yet wildly off kilter."
–Nine Circles

"Chain Gang Grave are dressed in the grit and grime of their home: Brooklyn. 'Cement Mind' is an unhinged creature that fires out a thumping hybrid of death metal and punk."
–Angry Metal Guy

"Energizing sonics that are driven by a raw lyricism... Chain Gang Grave simply abide by their own rules."
–Heaviest of Art

Endless Wound
by Black Curse

supported by 6 fans who also own “Cement Mind”

I came accross Black Curse, and their first demo, on Greg Biehl / No Gleaming Light YT channel in late 2019 and a bit later, in 2020, as it was covid, a whole lot of time was spent at home listening to music. In April 2020, I took a slap in my face. The songs that were already on the demo, with the new production here were so insane, it dragged me to hell. Black Curse is definitely one of the most violent band I listened in the last years. Next-level Black-Death metal for sure ! drs_dramm
