DEATHGRAVE: It's Only Midnight Vinyl LP

It's Only Midnight is not an album you put on when you want something to fade into the background. It's twenty-plus minutes of San Jose grindcore played like the building is already on fire and the goal is to make sure nobody notices until it's too late.

Deathgrave sit in that ugly, beautiful intersection of death metal and powerviolence where songs clock in under two minutes and every one of them counts. This 2023 record has the kind of unhinged energy that old Repulsion and Terrorizer fans will clock immediately, but there's also something wickedly fun about it, the band knows exactly what they're doing and they're doing it with a grin. Pure dark aesthetic, no filler, no pretense. The kind of record that gets played loud through a busted amp at 1am and you don't feel even slightly bad about it.
