Dirty Grave - Sin After Death (New Full Album) Dirty Grave plough a well trodden musical trough through the fetid soils of what is known as proto-doom, the Brazilian quartet borrow elements from such bastions of the proto-doom genre as Black Sabbath and Pentagram yet somehow manage to a create sound and groove that is totally unique and utterly their own. This uniqueness owes much to the distinctive vocal stylings of bassist/vocalist Mark Rainbow.
Rainbow sneers, growls, screams, groans and croons his way through the eight songs that make up \"Sin After Death\", his varied vocal inflections bringing an air of malice and sinisterness to the table that both Ozzy (Osborne) and Bobby (Liebling) would find hard to compete with. Rainbow also plays a mean bass and his growling bottom end, combined with Henrique Lima's tight powerhouse percussion, lays the perfect foundation for guitarists Pedro Barros and Victor Berg to showcase their prowess with a stunning array of raunchy doomic refrains and scorching metallic solos, the two six-stringers playing over, around and off each other in a masterclass of how to combine schooled technical ability with raw natural feel.
A band can be accomplished musicians but if that band does not have the songs to best frame those abilities... well its game over. Thankfully Dirty Grave do not only have the musical chops they also have the songs, dark proto flavoured rockers like \"In This Night\" and \"Turn Off All My Fears\", theatrical laced doomic tomes with schizophrenic vocal melodies like \"Slaughter (Human Race Is Dead)\" and \"Satan's Wings II (I Saw The Devil)\" and blues tinted stoner metal such as \"Slow Journey\", in fact there is not one single song on \"Sin After Death\" that falls into the realms of mediocre or banal, each track an essential part of the whole.
