GRAVE GHOUL - "Gruesome And Macabre" CD

Imported from Dismal Fate Records (Italy)

The long-awaited debut album from GRAVE GHOUL!!

I was thoroughly impressed with the band's 2023 and 2024 EPs and had high expectations for an album. Wish I had had this CD in my hands prior to making my AOTY list, because this would have 100% made it on there. I've spun it 3x now and it has absolutely melted the skin from my bones. WOW!

Horror-obsessed OSDM with gross grind seeping into their putrid sound here and there. Just a nasty, nasty, nasty little treat. I can't say enough about how good this is. VERY HIGH RECOMMENDATION!!!

From the crypts of the UK rises Grave Ghoul, an old-school death metal band steeped in horror. Their debut album, Gruesome and Macabre, is a brutal homage to the golden age of horror cinema. Drawing inspiration from Italian, Spanish, and American horror films of the ’70s and ’80s, the album channels the darkest elements of the genre.

Fans of Mortician, Autopsy, and Impetigo will find themselves immersed in a world of cinematic gore and death metal brutality. The album features a collection of tracks that pay tribute to the visceral and atmospheric horror films that have influenced the genre.
