GRAVE HEX - "Vermian Death" cassette
Imported from Night Terrors Records (Netherlands)
Imagine being disemboweled by that phallic worm on the cover art. The debut album from these Finnish freaks sounds how I'd imagine that'd feel. It's a visceral listen. Raw and wrigglin', it brings the fuckin' pain!! Fans of Abscess, Autopsy, Undergang, and Morbific will find lots to love with this nasty fucker.
Limited to 75.
Fueled by a raw punk spirit and forged in the shadow of decay, GRAVE HEX deliver blistering death metal soaked in tension, rot and filth. Their tracks erupt with scathing, unpolished energy, conjuring a foul stench that lingers long after the music stops. With a sound that channels the putrid legacy of bands like Autopsy, Undergang and Morbific, “Vermian Death” is an uncompromising slab of bestial rage. GRAVE HEX are poised to make a mark among the ranks of the most unrelenting and primitive purveyors of death metal, drawing in maniacs from both the punk and metal underworlds.
GRAVE HEX was (de)formed in Helsinki in March 2024 by Matti (of hardcore band Vainoa), Miikka (Vainoa), and Martti (ex-Loka, ex-Radien), united by a shared vision of primal, worm-ridden death metal.
Songwriting took off like a spontaneous blaze, and the material for the debut release came together quickly - written and rehearsed in short order, then recorded over three sessions during the summer of 2024.
The result, “Vermian Death”, is a crushing torrent of metal, steeped in cavernous soundscapes and feral lyrical themes. Shortly after completing the album, the band welcomed Hanna on bass and is now preparing to unleash their bestial death worship live in 2025.
