And so Arizona’s Graves At Sea rise from the perennial gloom they inhabit once more, resurrecting their 2003 demo (subsequently re-released by 20 Buck Spin) for its vinyl debut. Despite its sluggish gait the band’s ultra-heavy doom is never in danger of grinding to a halt, instead cruelly driving you on with immense, sodden grooves that could easily have leeched from a prime Electric Wizard recording, providing the suppurating backbone onto which a rasping black metal gurgle is poured, uttered by
some strange and shapeless fiend whose mutterings veer between a deranged cackle and softly whispered lies designed solely to befoul the dreams of innocents.
