Unholy Grave - Revoltage



















This was the 2007 full studio album by these Japan's Raw Grindcore band, Unholy Grave, that released under Agromosh Records.
23 tracks including the intro and outro, recorded in DIY style for a true old school sound. The amazing point about this band is they build their very own sound and personality and i think I'd always be able to recognize Unholy Grave between hundreds or thousands other bands. The pace is fast and chaotic with no signs of letting up to the end. There are a few midpaced parts but the are far and few between. Imagine Napalm Death as the gateway drug and these guys as heroin. This band have a totally unique raw sound, original vocals, alternating growls and hysterical screams, but it's not the usual way of uttering grindcore vocals... here it's really grotesque, funny, (sometimes they laugh or do very strange throaty noises...) and in the same time filled with extreme intensity and anger! The guitars have an amazing dirty sound, riffs are grindy, basic and simply kick ass, with blasting parts and also crusty midtempos plus groovy rythms, but always played with intensity and never getting boring.
Unholy Grave have arguably donated their best material on this album, with some songs verging more into D-beat while others getting into the Metal zone but still staying punk as fuck!!! This CD will leave you devastated.
