"In Theory" (5:25) 5. "Buried Alive" (5:12) 6. "Celebrity Judge And The Sinners Part I " (5:36) 7. "The North Wind" (5:25) 8. "Tribulation Cometh" (4:24) 9. "Harder To Hate" (3:58) Hailing from Perth, Australia, Grave Forsaken have a lot in common with fellow Australian metal exports Mortification. Not only are Grave Forsaken on Steve Rowe's (Mortification) label Rowe Productions, they also have a lot in common musically with modern Mortification. Grave Forsaken are pursuing a traditional heavy metal direction with some thrash overtones. There were times while listening to this CD for the first time that I had to check the liner notes to see if it was Steve Rowe singing. Not only is the tone very similar, but even the enunciation of certain words are similar. The vocal duties are shared by a couple different members, yet their two members styles are not so different that I would have noticed had I not read the liner notes. For instance, the vocals used in "Play It Loud" and "Celebrity Judge And The Sinners Part I " vary from thrashy growls to a mid-range shout, not unlike you might hear on Mortification's "Blood World" or "Post Momentary Affliction." Other tracks like "The Calling" or "Death on the Cross" remind me vocally of some of the more recent Mortification releases. Also like Mortification, Grave Forsaken lyrics are very openly Christian in nature. Mortification have been accused of writing cheesy lyrics over the years, but they have never backed down from presenting a clear Christian message. For that they have gained my respect. Grave Forsaken have taken a similar lyrical stance. I found most of the songs to contain simple, memorable choruses. Only having heard this CD twice I can already sing the chorus to "Death On the Cross". "Death, death, death on the cross, Christ he died for our sins, Death, death, death on the cross, salvation comes from him." Cheesy? Perhaps, but some metal fans would have it no other way, and I am sure that Grave Forsaken wouldn't either. Personally I find the lyrical approach refreshing, but I can see how it might be a bit of a turn-off to those who are not Christians. The music contained herein is mostly mid-paced with some occasional fast parts. The songs are simple, yet have some cool guitar riffs. I wouldn't have minded having heard a few more fast paced songs, and perhaps some steady double bass here and there as well. The band incorporates some nice melodic guitar solos as well, however, I would have liked to have heard some more speedy guitar licks, not unlike you might hear from Testament or Exodus. I am quite sure that some people will take all the references to Mortification in this review to mean something negative. However, this is simply not the case. I think that Grave Forsaken proudly wear their influences on their sleeve. "Beside the River of Blood" is a good Christian heavy metal CD that will most certainly appeal to fans of traditional heavy metal and mid-paced thrash metal. Grave Forsaken - Destined for Ascension (Rowe Productions) 2008. 1. "Warriors Of Light" (4:48) 2. "Perish The Thought" (3:19) 3. "Eternal Destiny " (3:10) 4. "Celebrity Judge And The Sinners Part II" (5:43) 5. "Punishment" (3:52) 6. "Horror And Sadness" (6:46) 7. "Destined For Ascension" (4:17) 8. "No Eye Has Seen" (4:26) 9. "Blood On The Scales" (6:04) 10. "The Road To Damascus" (10:15) Australia's Grave Forsaken seem to be getting labeled a Mortification clone. I suppose when you are big Mortification fans, like the guys in Grave Forsaken, that is bound to come across in your music. Indeed, I myself thought the band's full length debut sounded quite a bit like Mortification. With their second full length CD, Grave Forsaken have continued to explore similar musical ground as their debut, but they also have gained a bit more of their own identity. Comparisons to Mortification can still be made. For instance "No Eye Has Seen" reminded me a bit of some of the material on Mortification's "Blood World", and in particular "Love Song". Steve Rowe of Mortification even makes two vocal cameo appearances on "Eternal Destiny" and the epic length "The Road to Damascus". However, Grave Forsaken are not a Mortification clone. They seem to have added a wide variety of influences on this one. The music itself incorporates elements of thrash metal, classic metal, doom, death metal and even some groove based riffing. The songs range from the very fast, to mid-tempo, to slow and doomy. It's actually hard to put Grave Forsaken into any one label. I've seen them labeled as thrash metal, but this will certainly bring thoughts of bands like Slayer, Kreator, Testament, Anthrax, etc. While there may be some of those influences mixed into songs like "Warriors of Light" and "Perish the Thought", Grave Forsaken don't really sound like any of those bands. Rather I think it's just easier to describe them as extreme heavy metal. They also incorporate a lot of melodic guitar solos. Some of the lead work is performed in actual lead breaks in the song, such as the break in the middle of "Perish the Thought" or at the end of "Eternal Destiny". At at other times the leads are being played underneath a verse or chorus. One of the things I enjoy about this band is that all the members sing. On "Destined to Ascension" I actually started to connect the voices with the different members. Guitarist Elia Salmela has the most immediately recognizable vocal style, with his deep, menacing death metal growls. Vaughn Gregory has a more straight forward, thrash metal bark. He almost shouts out the lyrics with a punk-like attitude. It's actually these vocals that remind me of Steve Rowe's post death metal material. In "Celebrity Judge and the Sinners Part II" I had to check the liner notes to see if it actually was Steve Rowe singing the verses. Drummer Matt Skipworth vocals are slightly raspy and talked out, rather than sang. Personally I would have liked to have heard a bit more him actually sing in a more classic metal style with a bit more melody, aggression and confidence. Each song features usually one or two of the different members doing lead vocals. Album closer, "The Road to Damascus" features the entire band taking turns at lead vocals, along with Steve Rowe. As with the band's debut, the band's lyrical approach reminds me of the heyday of the Christian metal scene in the late 80's and early 90's. While some may scoff at the "cheesiness" of this sort of lyrical approach, I appreciate the band's honesty and desire to share their faith. They aren't trying to hide anything or sneak in a heavily veiled message. For this I applaud them. The production on "Destined for Ascension" seems to be a step above the debut, but still has that raw, underground sound. The guitars are heavy and crunchy, while the drums are clear and powerful. It sounds as if the drums may have been triggered as there are times when they sound a little digital, especially during some of the fills. Cranking this CD on several different CD players, it actually sounded best on my cheap stereo. When I pumped the music through my far more expensive car stereo, some of the recording seemed a little harsh, especially the cymbals. I have a suspicion that this harshness in the highs has more to do with the mastering than the actual mix itself. Still, this doesn't really hinder the music at all. I still found myself enjoying the disc. Grave Forsaken are an underground band and they have an underground sound, with all instruments clearly heard. My favorite tracks are "Warriors of Light", "Perish the Thought" and "Destined for Ascension", with it's driving beat and squealing guitar work. Australian exports Grave Forsaken just keep cranking out the tunes. On "This Day Forth" the band have progressed musically from their earlier material, offering less death metal influences and a whole lot more thrash metal influences. As well, the death metal vocals have been almost completely eliminated, save for a small portion of "Celebrity Judge and the Sinners, Part III ". Instead, much of the vocals are barked out with a punk like fury. While their earlier albums most certainly had a heavy Mortification influence, this newer album takes a cues from the many Bay Area bands. However, that is not to say that Grave Forsaken are jumping on the current retro-thrash bandwagon currently exploding out of California. Rather, they are beginning to find their own sound and steer away from wearing their influences on their sleeves. Sure, there are still some Mortification influences here and there, but you won't hear anyone accusing them of sounding like a clone of Morty either. At times I heard some influences from some of the more gutteral thrash bands like Sodom, Destruction, Whiplash and At War. Check out the Slayer-iffic opening riff of the title track, or the manic opening riff of "Wasting Power". Track number two, "Mother of Harlots" is a straight forward, machine gun, speed metal romp. The double bass assault from new drummer Dave Kilgallon (Mortification/Scourged Flesh), along with the speedy guitar riffs should send any self respecting thrash fan into instant fits of head banging mania. Ok, perhaps that's a bit corny, but it indeed does describe the sound of some of the music contained herein. Grave Forsaken are becoming a force to be reckoned with in the underground metal scene. As with any underground band who are doing everything on their own, there is room for improvements. However, with each new release Grave Forsaken continue to improve production, their songwriting and their skills as musicians. With the next release I am expecting one lethal onslaught of pure thrash metal. Grave Forsaken - Fight To The Death (Soundmass) 2010. 1. Mutilator (05:49) 2. Fight To The Death (04:03) 3. War Is Hell (05:20) 4. Black Saturday (05:14) 5. The Years Of Carnage (05:46) 6. Call Me A Dreamer (03:50) 7. Destruction Comes (03:53) 8. In Our Time Of Trial (04:03) 9. This Dying Day (05:30) 10. Light In The Shadow (04:13) Following up the band's 2009 release "This Day Forth", Australia's Grave Forsaken continue to explore thrash metal terrains. Gone are the more guttural growls, with only the punk-infused thrash shouts remaining. Vaughn Gregory is the lone vocalist, for the most part on this album. He seems more biting and vicious than in the past, and I don't miss the death vocals at all. On "Fight to the Death" the band have a lot of Bay Area influences. Specifically there are some Slayer-esque influences to some of the riffs. However, Grave Forsaken still sound like Grave Forsaken, not some Slayer-clone band. Over the course of four albums the band has really carved out their own sound, while not completely forsaking their influences. I still hear some of those Mortification influences here and there. The first four songs on "Fight to Death" are straight forward thrashers complete with gang vocals. None of these songs are ultra fast. I'd actually say they were mostly mid-paced, but still aggressive and heavy. Frankly, speed for speed sake has never impressed me much anyhow. The single from the album "War is Hell" is probably one of the most infectious songs the band has written to date. The song has a monster hook, from the opening bass through the riff-tastic verse and chorus. Unfortunately the metal mayhem is broken up by track six, "Call Me a Dreamer" which sticks out like a sore thumb. The song is a duet Vaughn sharing lead vocal duties with female vocalist Chloe Sprankling. I want to call the song a ballad, but it's really not a ballad in the traditional sense. Actually the song is pretty heavy in parts, though not as manic as the rest of the CD. I actually think this song would have gone over better had it been put at the end of the CD. I suppose the band were experimenting a bit on this track, which is cool, but I do think it breaks up the momentum of the CD. Otherwise, "Fight to the Death" is yet another step up for Grave Forsaken. Thrash on! Grave Forsaken - Reap What You Sow (Soundmass) 2012. 1. Reap What You Sow (5:26) 2. End of Days (4:23) 3. Kill Your Idols (5:29) 4. Silent Screams (3:29) 5. Victory or Death (3:45) 6. Ghost Light (5:24) 7. Coming Home (3:47) 8. Situation Mess (3:29) 9. Master of the World (4:47) Australia thrasher Grave Forsaken just keep cranking out new music! "Reap What You Sow" is the band's fifth full-length album in six years. This is a pretty impressive accomplishment for a band that has remained a mostly independent band. This album was released through the Australian independent label (and web store) Soundmass. As with their last album, "Fight To The Death" the band continue to explore speed and thrash metal terrain. Grave Forsaken are not a 'thrash-for-thrash-sake' band. They aren't afraid to write songs with varied tempos and even mix in some other influences into their sound. For instance, "Victory or Death" is an immediately likable, punk-infused, shout-along, thrash metal anthem. The song has an Overkill flair to it. On the other hand, there are songs like the title track which is just pure thrash metal. After a short, bizarre violin intro, the title track kicks off the album and is a speedy thrasher with some quick drum work, abrupt staccato guitar riffing and a shout-along gang chorus, " REAP! WHAT! YOU SOW!" "End of Days" follows up and is a slower, chunkier number. It's the variety of tempos and memorable songwriting that keeps the album from sounding same-y or getting boring. Lyrically, the band explores social and personal issues through a Christian perspective. Their lyrics don't come off preachy or 'cheesy', but rather thought provoking. Though Grave Forsaken now sit comfortably in the neo-thrash genre, they haven't lost their identity. There's just something about their sound that is all their own, despite the other influences that are present. "Reap What You Sow" is Grave Forsaken's best yet. Grave Forsaken - The Fight Goes On (Soundmass) 2015. 1. The Fight Goes On (6:14) 2. There Is No Peace (3:35) 3. Politics of Popularity (4:03) 4. Four Creatures (3:38) 5. Duluth Airbase Intruder (4:41) 6. Strike the Oppressor (4:20) 7. God Is With Us (3:55) 8. Glimpse of Armageddon (3:42) Australia's resident Christian metal band have yet again dove even deeper into their own brand of groove and thrash metal. Some of the riffs here are downright heavy! The opening title track and album closer "Glimpse of Armageddon" both come to mind immediately as having those memorable machine gun riffs. Once again just as with their last album, Grave Forsaken are not a 'thrash-for-thrash-sake' band. They aren't afraid to write songs with varied tempos and even mix in some other influences into their sound. For instance, "Four Creatures" is a mid-paced, song with a bit of a groove and a chorus that begs to be sung along to. It almost becomes a heavy metal worship song. "Holy is the Lord God Almighty, Who is and Who is to Come. " Their lyrics don't come off as overly preachy, but rather thought provoking and intelligent. Much like the music, the lyrical themes vary quite a bit. While there is not doubt that this is a Christian band they also deal with some social and political topics as well. "Politics of Popularity" deals with exactly what the title of the song implies, people getting voted into office based on celebrity status. It should also be mentioned that the song has a cool "wah-wah" solo as well. "Duluth Airbase Intruder" is a historical recollection of the event that took place in 1963. The sorry goes that there was an intruder of the Air Base that nearly caused complete chaos. The intruder ended up being a bear and not an enemy and the crisis was averted as planes were literally taking off. "The Fight Goes On" proves the point that I've said in past reviews, Grave Forsaken are a band that improves and becomes more likable with each new album.

"Have you ever heard a thrash metal band sing about signs of the apocalypse, God being the only one that matters, Microsoft controlling the masses, or the need for an environmental cleansing? If not, you probably haven’t listened to Grave Forsaken’s This Day Forth, eight heavy songs that revolve around making the world a better place and how humans are destroying it with their greed and lustful desire for more. The lyrics to the music are what really make this record stand out. Deep, meaningful prose that forces the listener think about the world and their situation in it is captured here. Themes such as selling yourself on a daily basis, giving all of your energy to the job and having none left for a personal life, as well as re-examining your relationship with the Earth and the Lord are all poignant and effective in their mission to make one think and reconsider what is being done on a daily basis. “This Day Forth” is thrash metal done right." - Rob Rockitt, Hard Rock Hideout. "Destined for Ascension" by Grave Forsaken is a Christian metal album with a touch of doom and thrash. Expect nothing less than insanity with this album. All of the staples of classic metal are present on this album – chunky guitar riffs, crazy solos, angry vocals, and drums galore – and remind the listener of a Jesus-oriented Slayer or Megadeth. What sets this album apart is its ability to stay up in your face while expressing views of spiritual faith. The musicians are all top-notch, and the band is tight. If you are looking for a slick, overproduced metal album, this one's not for you. Rather, the band pays homage to their early metal influences with an analog garage band recording. Highlights include the opener, "Warriors of Light," with its papal-church-organ-led intro and thrashy arrangement. "Celebrity Judge and the Sinners Part II" features a growling guitar riff and standout lyrics. The title track, "Destined for Ascension," has yet another growling riff, cool breaks, and subtle variances." - William and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team. "Thrashers Grave Forsaken is back with their first fullength. Really liked their demo so it was with big anticipation I put the disc into the cdplayer. Unfortunately it wasn't as good as I had expected. The band still plays thrash but there are just way too many slow parts that make me lose interest. They really need to speed up to coming releases! Faster for the Master, you know. The faster tracks are also their best. Really like their Biblical lyrics but musically they need to speed up. Grave Forsaken truly have lots of potential which they really showed on their demo and if they add more speed, harmonies and variation next album can be really interesting." - metalforjesus.org. "Metal that sort of elevates over any sub-genre, creating something unique. It's not really thrash, nor death, but at the same time it's both" - Metal Metropolis. "There is no doubt this is a single-minded, single-purposed band and that this is a deliberate tool no doubt designed to keep the listener’s attention throughout the complete package. Guess what…it works!" - Arttie Parker, Christian Metal Realm. "The guitars are stupendous as they rift from mountainous peaks to heavenly dual opuses. The songs are thumpin' and grindin' from the start to the finish, so make sure you are not sitting down when you throw it in your player or you may just be catapulted down to your face!" - Nokternal Hemizphear. "Grave Forsaken is a band that knows what they like, knows what they want to deliver, and deliver it well." - Metal Metropolis. Grave Forsaken EP - released 2005 Beside the River of Blood - released 2006 Horror and Sadness EP - released 2007 Destined for Ascension - released 2008 This Day Forth - released 2009 Light the Hall (Live) - released 2009. Grave Forsaken is a five-piece Christian thrash metal band with influences from all kinds of classic metal styles. The band formed in 2004 with four relatively unknown musicians and a strong desire to succeed. In 2005, Grave Forsaken recorded a self-titled demo EP which was released independently to a welcoming audience. The early death metal influences seen on the EP soon began to take on a sharper sound as the band played a number of local gigs and wrote new material. In 2006, the album "Beside The River Of Blood" was released, having been signed to Rowe Productions even before it was completed. Tracks featured on the album such as "Buried Alive" and "Harder To Hate" received high praise from both fans and critics. The band made it clear that they're not only a thrash band, also venturing into death and doom metal territory with tracks like "Tribulation Cometh" and "The Celebrity Judge And The Sinners, Part I." In 2007, Grave Forsaken appeared in Heaven's Metal magazine. The band also established a fan club known as the "Grave Forsaken Mosher Crew", now with a dedicated MySpace page. Later, GF teamed up with a new producer and recorded their first single, entitled "Horror and Sadness". The band also established themselves as a touring group, having completed their second trip to Australia's east coast. The tour co-incided with the launch of the "Horror and Sadness" single and also welcomed in the newest addition to the band, Scourged Flesh drummer Dave Kilgallon. Keen to keep the momentum going, the group released their second full length "Destined For Ascension" in early 2008. This album was met with much acclaim, and even featured the vocal talents of label boss Steve Rowe on 2 songs. Signed by Soundmass and with Tim Steadman taking over lead vocals, the lineup recorded the 3rd full length album "This Day Forth" throughout 2008 and released early 2009. During the recording, Tim left the band. At this point Vaughan Gregory took over the lead vocal role again. Some of Tim's vocals were left on the final mix, making "This Day Forth" Tim's last appearance as an official member of the band. The release of this album has represented the artistic peak of the band so far. In September 2009 the online special Mosher Crew live Album "Light The Hall" was released. The gig was recorded in July 2008, and featured the lineup of Vaughan, Elias, Matt and Dave. With 2009 celebrating five years of the bands existence, with the view for many more to come, the catch phrase 'Five Years and Beyond' was developed signalling the bands commitment to each other and to the Christian metal scene - but first and foremost to God. As the band heads on into 2009, the line-up has changed - with Vaughan (lead vocals), Elias (lead guitar), Simon (rhythm guitar), Matt (bass guitar) and Richard (drums) - but the music is still the same. The band has no intention of slowing down either, and is already plotting their next moves in the future. We hope you'll join us for the ride!
