Long exporting some of the music scene’s most popular metal bands (Parkway Drive, Thy Art Is Murder, Aversions Crown, Boris The Blade), Australia remains a fertile environment for new and exciting bands to rise up out of the underground. We saw that with Northlane years ago, Ocean Grove this year, and now we’re seeing Gravemind reach some exciting new heights with their upcoming EP, The Deathgate.
The EP, which drops August 11th, is a collection of tracks that fall somewhere between the A-level deathcore releases of the past decade, and straight up, no-holds-barred death metal. Sound like your kind of thing? It should be. 8 days away. You can stream the band’s video for “Anaethesia” below, which has racked up 20,000 plays on Youtube in just over a month.
The Deathgate is the sophomore concept EP from Australian death metal outfit, Gravemind. A lone astronaut must face the trials of an alien planet in order to survive. To do so, he must go back to the beginning, in order to change his future, he must change his mind. He must go through The Deathgate.
“This EP is about the suffering we endure, simply existing. It is an unburdening of mainstream ideals, of destructive ideologies, the insane framework that we’ve created in order to feel normal”, says the band about the new EP. You can preorder The Deathgate right here.
