Graveslave Streaming "Corpseborne" EP

Graveslave was founded in February 2014 between longtime collaborators Roman Johnson (guitar) and Ben Fagerness (drums). Josh Burke promptly filled the bass slot, and, after several rocky line-ups, the group was joined by MN metal scene guitar veteran Ian Frand and vocalist/manager Mike Bloodfist, who set the band on a demanding show schedule for maximum exposure.

After several DIY demos, Graveslave entered the studio to track the first real EP, “Corpseborne.” There are no programmed drums, quantized guitars, or pitch corrections. Its real music, and the integrity can be heard in every blast and squeal.

The band recorded at Signaturetone studios with production mastermind Adam Tucker to create a truly nauseating sound. It was during this recording period that Mike Bloodfist amicably stepped down as vocalist to focus on other projects. The position was filled by Twin Cities death-growl extrordinaire Don Durkee (Oklahoma Caddy Shack, ex - Down Infierno), who stepped in just in time to help finish the record.
