Andreas Muhr Heavy, really heavy. Don't turn it up too loud because the doomy sound wave might throw you out of the closed window!

Jono Schneider Perfectly filled to the brim with massive riffs that scream “this life sucks!” for all the world to hear. Guitars sound like evil serpents and the drums don’t stop churning like a demon pulling its way out of a sinkhole. Later things get a little lonely on the planet and cry out to the heavens. Top rate sludge. Riffs until the end of days, which may be very soon indeed.

Ten thousand times we'll drag our failing flesh And trade our toil for pittances Ten thousand times our dismal daily wages You'll take and not be satiated Ten thousand times we'll sell our sorry souls And try to fill the gaping hole Ten thousand times we might be born again And not escape your cruel net We will look upon your works, ye mighty, and despair. Confronted with your endless greed, what hope for the biosphere? The deserts will stretch from sea to empty sea The silent spring, the reckoning, and finally we'll sleep With hollow eyes we'll smile and we'll say yes sir, no sir We'll take our paltry paychecks and go back to our drugs and scrolling We'll populate the end-times with our disaffected children We'll slouch towards the sickening dystopia you're building The world world itself is holy Every tree is it's own cathedral And all of it is up for sale The wild world itself is holy Every tree is it's own cathedral And all of it is up for sale The wild world itself is holy All of it is up for sale A special stupid kind of evil The wild world itself is holy The wild world itself is holy The wild world itself is holy My soul recoils My heart is broken Again and again

Agony 11:08
The sharpened edge of pain is rage The pain and rage together make a cutting blade The soul is to the flesh As the sharpness is to The blade, the cutting edge, As flame is to shadow What is your life without your agony? You’ll never know What is the knife without the cutting edge The cutting edge The cutting edge of suffering is making others suffer Countless multitudes of victims punishing each other Terror, offer up yourself Horror, offer someone else What is the world without our misery? We’ll never know What is the knife without the hand that deals the killing blow The killing blow Terror, offer up yourself Horror, offer someone else

No one is free at all No one is free at all from capital Ground down every day Ground down, you wanna live, you gotta pay Nowhere is free at all Nowhere is free at all from capital Parasites own it all Parasites own it all and grind you down Detached And abstracted Made wretched Made wretched and low Alone And alienated Made into Made into a thing to be owned I don't wanna fuckin pay I don't wanna work all day

One day, through the shattered concrete The forest will explode Our great great great grandchildren Will drive their herds along our cracking roads Theyll say, "all things are temporary All things are in the hands of the gods" They'll make their camps at night Beside the rusting piles of cars In this eternal soil the endless rhizomes coil The churning roots expand then Rot away then grow again And in the ancient seas The living planet breathes And through its swarming cells It knows and understands itself One day, through the darkened towers Sharks will hunt their prey Far above in wooden boats The fisherfolk will ply the waves They'll say "many things are mysteries Many things can never be known" They'll make their nets from six-pack rings And make their hooks from bone Theyll say, "all things are temporary All things are in the hands of the gods" They'll say "many things are mysteries Many things can never be known"

released October 6, 2022

Laced with noise, sludged to the gills it’s fortunate enough to have so it can breathe in the rising ocean waters, and pointed in its lurch, the five-song/43-minute outing takes the directionless fuckall of so many practitioners of its genre and sets itself apart by knowing and naming exactly what it’s mad about. It’s mad about wage theft, climate change, the hopelessness that surrounds most while a miserly few continue to pillage what should belong to everybody. The question asked in “Agony” answers itself: “What is the world without our misery? We’ll never know.” With this perspective in mind and a hint of melody in the finale “Sic Transit Mundus,” Grales offer a two-sided tape through From the Urn Records that is gripping in its onslaught and stirring despite its outward misanthropy.

Grales haven’t been out for a long time, emerging in 2019 with their demo – but with the release of 2022’s sludge-a-thon Remember the Earth but Never Come Back, have quickly made a name for themselves for causing a musical crater in their native Montreal. Churning riffs, plague-ridden vocals and a misanthropic outlook.

Grales nous propose ici un album très bien fait, qui ne tombe pas dans le piège typique du sludge, qui est de tourner en rond, et nous invite à explorer son monde assez complexe et dilaté de l’humain. Une force brute exécutée de façon intelligente et affligeante par le fait même.

Remember The Earth But Never Come Back is a well-produced and excellent sounding album if you dig your Doom/Sludge Metal on the heavier DISTORTED side of life. The creative mood of the entire album is complex and engaging thanks to the brutal sounds, superb harsh vocals and sublime lyrics Grales have written for this album. Remember The Earth But Never Come Back is a first rate album that brilliantly showcases everything I love about the Doom/Sludge Metal Underground scene.
