Oddly enough both bands had almost the same name &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Buried-at-Sea-58375831421\/\" target=\"_blank\">Buried At Sea<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GravesAtSea\/\" target=\"_blank\">Graves At Sea<\/a>. While they sounded different in many ways, they both carved out sense of weight and sonic intensity that was like nothing I had ever heard. The closest thing I could think to describe it was the sound of a glacier slowly moving across the earth scraping the landscape clean and pushing aside everything in it&#8217;s path.<\/p>\n<p>Over the last decade or so both bands have been semi-active. However with their signing to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.relapse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Relapse Records<\/a> last year, Graves At Sea just announced the release of their long awaited new full length album <em>The Curse That Is<\/em>. The title track from the album is now streaming and it&#8217;s pretty much everything I could have hoped for. After a long feedback laden intro, the track lurches to life with a new sense of urgency rarely heard from the band. By the end of the track it&#8217;s very clear that good things come to those who wait and luckily we will only need to wait until April 1st to hear the rest of <em>The Curse That Is<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Pre-orders are available through the <a href=\"http:\/\/relapse.com\/graves-at-sea\/\" target=\"_blank\">Relapse Records online store<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/gravesatsea.bandcamp.com\/album\/the-curse-that-is\" target=\"_blank\">Bandcamp<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in my StonerRock.com days I discovered two bands who totally redefined my definition of heavy was.
