Surely a band that formed in the summer of 2006 can’t be worth listening to?

Wrong, very wrong.

Serving their time in a whole host of hardworking bands that since fell by the wayside, the five musicians who make up The Grieving Process have come together with a very precise aim, that of producing lasting death metal without even the slightest hint of compromise. Lasting death metal isn’t a collection of riffs and breakdowns designed to tick off every box in the ‘Eye Spy Guide to Modern Metal’, it’s music that won’t do anything it doesn’t deem part of a natural progression in order to fit in with whatever trend has captured the imagination of MTV2, shift CDs to clueless chancers or sound particularly good shoehorned onto the soundtrack of a overpriced and ultimately crap video game tie-in movie.

After nine months of writing and just before they were poised to record the vocals, singer Jay departed, but not having before securing a replacement in No Room In Hell Singer James Van Damm. This easily resolved drama the only blip in an otherwise seamless process, one driven by the band’s admirable purity of purpose, one inspired by the dedication to songwriting and evolution that has marked bands like Cryptopsy and Cannibal Corpse.

The perfect antidote to homogenous, sludgy death metal that is coating the scene in laziness and mediocrity, The Grieving Process have already destroyed the East Coast with over a hundred shows and with the release of their debut full-length ‘Assimilated Deformation’, geography will no longer be an adequate shied against their brand of hyper-brutal, yet intelligent, death metal fury.
