Relapse Records has announced the signing of underground, cult doom/sludge quartet, GRAVES AT SEA. Formed in 2002, the band self-released the demo Documents Of Grief which quickly became one of the most talked about underground demos of the decade.
After recording their debut 7″ and a split with Asunder in 2004 and 2005 respectively, the band went on hiatus. GRAVES AT SEA are now stronger than ever, focusing their efforts on touring and recording new material. 2014 saw the group release their first new material in over nine years including a split with Sourvein and a separate two song EP.
Now thirteen years since forming, GRAVES AT SEA will record their highly anticipated first official full-length this summer with producer Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil) at Audible Alchemy in Portland, OR.
The group commented on the signing and new material: “So now this is gonna happen… We’re proud to say our first full length ever is coming out on Relapse Records. Relapse has been extremely cool to work with and we think it’s going to be a killer fit. Cheers. DFFD.”
