Since October of 1993, T-Roy has been on a nomadic mission to bring the visions of Sourvein to life through distortion and determination. One city and country at a time, Sourvein has been on the road closing in on 25 years. Called "one of the heaviest bands to ever walk the Earth" by Terrorizer Magazine, the band has returned with their Metal Blade debut "Aquatic Occult" (2016) and plan to hit the high seas once again to pillage and plunder across the globe.

Graves at Sea was formed in 2002 by friends Nick Phit and Nathan Misterek, with then members Roger Williams & Steve Klatz (RIP). After self-releasing the demo titled Documents of Grief, they toured extensively and were quickly noticed by Greg Anderson of Southern Lord/Sunn, who released their 7" Cirrohosis/Atavist Arise in 2004. Later in 2005 the band released a split with friends Asunder on Life is Abuse (cd) and 20 Buck Spin (vinyl).    In 2007 Graves at Sea went through a line up change when Nathan moved to Oakland and Nick moved to Portland, OR. After playing two final shows with Chiyo Nukaga (Noothgrush) on drums and Miguel Veliz (ex-Sourvein, The Roller) on bass, the band broke up in 2008. In 2012, however, they decided to reunite with Chiyo on drums and Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil) on bass, but due to touring restraints, Chiyo and Greg decided to step down.    The current line up is Nick Phit (guitar), Nathan Misterek (vocals), Bryan Sours (drums, ex-Subarachnoid Space) and Jeff Mcgarity (bass, ex-Preta) making Graves at Sea once again a touring and recording band. In 2013 they recorded a split with Loss and a split with Sourvein, all with new material and have numerous tours planned far in to 2014.

Initial scene... Silence...   Progression... Stagnated and numb emotions scattered around, piling in tiny landscapes of sorrow, the reconciliation with the "beyond". Captain Death and the Lady In Blue, melting visions of those departed, saturated memories. The dreaded holocaust, concluding circle and the farewell, borrowed time, acceptance and martyrdom. Nothing left and nothing more.    Deuil, (Mourning in English) is a 4-piece blackened sludge, drone act from Liège, Belgium. They've started their expedition in 2012 and they are slowly grasp the battlements of life, the soil of the lost, where stench of death suffocates and wishers... nevermore. Purple and violet clouds, last thoughts transcend into misty shadows, crippled and deformed and with fear crumbling eyes venturing forth, like many did before, like Edgar Allan Poe did, for his lost, beloved Lenore.   The equivalent of Victorian post mortem photography in sound, Deuil are constructing solid soundscapes of cathartic funeral doom with extremely haunting details. Brewing their sound with blackened and sludge elements, they form their pieces into huge, slow-pasted, excruciating beautiful and mournful elegies! They keep the "burden" of the genre's tradition amazingly, while they add their very distinctive personal aura to it, fine-tuning their creations. Evident outcomes captured in their first work, entitled "Acceptance/Rebuild" (2013). A two-track mesmerizing achievement, already released on limited CD-r and tape and currently awaiting it's proper treatment on glorious vinyl in the very near future.   Deuil is an odd and yet, very earthly experience! Their sound has the scent of a deathly awe, their creations in general are like a memoir of the lost and a pilgrimage to where time shutters and all hope is forever gone! Nothing less and many more.
