Grayceon ~ All We Destroy A-Library CD {Profound Lore}

San Francisco???s Grayceon gave out this album for FREE at their CD release party Feb. 11^th, 2011 at Bottom of the Hill. On it you get massive melodic metal that is mutually muscular, menacing, moving, modern, mindful, methodical & mature.?? All We Destroy straddles heavy & tuneful sounds incorporating orchestral classical styles and prog & post rock influences amidst the crushing riffage.?? Listen in & get an earful as Jackie Perez Gratz (cellist for Amber Asylum, Giant Squid)) shrieks a gritty banshee scream, bowing the bejesus outta her electronic cello that looks like a whale???s hollowed ribcage.?? She???s got the pipes to belt out a breathy beautiful bittersweet melody too.?? Max Doyle (Walken) pulls off some brilliant fretwork without sounding overly technical.?? Harsh metal crunch shifts to flanged & chorus plucked string arrangements.?? Zack Farwell (Walken) can blast the fuck outta his drums but knows when to show restraint and accent & pace the ever shifting energy & mercurial mood. Grayceon continues to impress with a full force album proving metal can be graceful AND destroy! Most songs are around 7 to 9 minutes with an epic 17 minute metal opus.?? For Agalloch & Ludicra fans as much as This Mortal Coil & Amber Asylum enthusiasts. Intensely ruling!???? ALL CLEAN ??????~Curtis KImby
