Since the turn of the millennium, GraveWax Records has consistently
signed the most depraved bands around. Bands that make the Devil keep
his kids locked in at night, terrified at the hints and whispers of
what might lurk out there in the abysmal darkness. Bands so sick that
we keep them chained to the water heater downstairs so that we might
contain their gleeful malevolence, just letting the stuff out a little
at a time for fear of kicking the doors of Hell wide open.
You might notice that these bands seemingly have nothing in common.
You might even assume that we just ran down to the local cemetery,
spade and contract in hand, and dug up every piece of worm-riddled
flesh we could get our grubby hands on. Well, you’d be wrong
to think that. Dead wrong. You see, GraveWax transcends the apartheid
of genres by rising beyond simple categorizations. Every band on our
growing roster has something very important in common: a death aesthetic.
And a fresh way of dealing with it, whether it be the hellfire preaching
of Those
Poor Bastards or Sons
of Perdition, the putrefying chops of the Route
66 Killers, or the EC comics mentality of the Creepniks.
These bands share a common language from many different tongues.
Sometimes anachronistic, oftentimes downright degenerate, the assorted
fiends and ghouls of GraveWax Records never fail to please. Now open
up and say “ARGHH!!!!!!”
