Description
However, GRAVFRAKTAL is its own entity, and Unhallowed Death Triumph is as much a statement of intent as it is a summation of the band’s all-too-considerable powers. Indeed, a power-trio in every sense of the word, GRAVFRAKTAL unload an arsenal of physicality that spits in the face of so much cut ‘n’ paste studio “death metal.” Indeed, this is METAL OF DEATH writ large, draped in haunting hues of malevolent melody and bruising battery, grimy and regal in equal measure. Likewise, the band’s sound nods to everyone and no one, so entrenched in their DNA is olde-worlde death metal; after all, among the three of ’em, the members of GRAVFRAKTAL have participated in an enviable number of underground gems over the past 25 years and thus helped shaped the landscape of underground metal. But again, this band is its OWN entity, and this debut recording speaks for itself – commandingly!
