'Their allure is not in the volume or force, but the threat, as if they’ve got a lot in reserve, simmering beneath the surface. And with grace and dynamic range, they’re a uniquely exciting act.' - Aural Aggravation
"With the release of Time, they’ve risen to meet high expectations, bringing together a relentless and pounding set full of huge guitars and close-quarter rhythmic intricacies anchored around haunting vocals." - Circuit Sweet
"'Time' starts with the unsettling ‘Wasteland’- it nails the power of this album succinctly and superbly: Caroline’s voice. As the music gets heavier throughout the album her captivating sound is the constant – clear, wavering, beautiful." - Echoes And Dust
FFO: Chelsea Wolfe, Swans, sounds of the apocalypse.
Dark and sorrowful yet triumphantly bold London/Hove heavy gloom quartet, who traverse their sound through a range of instrumentation and a deep direct penetration of the psyche. Second full length “Fed Into The Nihilist Engine” out now on NHS Records
"This is grimy, trudging through the murky peat kind of stuff, but laced with the spirit as well as the scale of the blues, something like a nastier version of Goatsnake. There’s a lot more going on, too, genre-wise with neo-folk passages and some smart, intricate riffs somewhere between the complexity of Mastodon at their most progressive and Sleep at their most catchy." - Echoes And Dust
"UK Doom quartet Grave Lines have surpassed all expectations with their stunningly dynamic second album Fed into the Nihilist Engine" - Terrorizer
Support comes in the form of doom-flecked, blackened downer-rock from Bristol, UK.
From grinding riffs to atmospheric passages layered with mournful vocals and samples. Influences take in everything from Converge, to Wolves in The Throne Room and from Gorecki to Alice in Chains. Essential!
