Graves Of Ceaseless Death is the debut album from death metal band Ruinous, the three members all having played with Funebrarum amongst others too numerous to mention so no lack of experience here then.

It’s a dark and brooding album leaning towards old school death metal with some doom thrown in. More concerned with heaviness than speed and the band aren’t afraid to slow things down when required though the cacophonous sound is relentless, even in the slower parts. Plenty of rhythmic variation keeps things interesting and the riffs are thick, heavy as hell and brutal. The vocals from guitarist Matt Medeiros are indecipherable ranging from a growl to a scream and of the more extreme variety, even by death metal standards, that some may find it hard to get past. This is the kind of apocalyptic death metal I like best though with inventive chord changes and a fair amount of dissonance thrown into the mix and it delivers throughout.

If you don’t like death metal forget it but for those who enjoy the more extreme variety, you owe it to yourselves to check these guys out.
