i actually never heard a word about this band before i came across this ebay auction, which helped me to add this monster to the collection. the same seller that had the alpha & omega record of the last post, offered 'red horse' and i was simply intrigued by its cover and vinyl asthetics. so i took a short trip over to the tube and listened to some stuff.
whoa, what the hell? early graves sounds dark, fast and absolutely pissed. a lovely mixture of punk, crust, hardcore and metal which reminds from time to time of the almighty converge. the whole album is an absolute cracker. check out the title track 'red horse' and bear witness to the rumbling sound of the record, which adds a bit of a stoner feel.
the album was released by no sleep records. i don't think i have any other no sleep records album but i definitely like what they did with this output. nice slip sleeve of good cardboard quality, black dust sleeves and this gorgeous vinyl colour. a red marble vinyl that almost looks pink out of 300 copies. great album through and through. got to keep my eyes open for the band's other stuff. no sleep records. 2012.
