Reviews DIRTY GRAVE – EVIL DESIRE – SATANATH The most straightforward way to describe Dirty Grave’s album is to
say ‘Saint Vitus.’ This album clones Saint Vitus’ debut. There is a
little more going on so let us jump in. This black/doom metal act has
listened intently to the first Saint Vitus album, picked up Pentagram
influences along the way and added a few psychedelic influences after
overdosing on its drug of choice. Until The Day I Die and Evil Desire
also hint at early Judas Priest. The logo is influenced by the early
one from the Birmingham/Los Angeles band that has been on its
farewell and final tour since 1995. Add the Satanic elements and
goodness of black metal, as signified by the lyrics and the
photographs of a sexy goat of a chick, and there you have it.
The psychedelic and hallucinogenic effects are present in both the
vocals and music. The bass is prominent, but not obvious if that
makes sense. The singer sounds out of it, which is perfect for the
music (and his dealer). The drummer has a terrible, but not annoying,
sound to his snare, which is in point of fact better than the
expensive pots and pan-ish sound so-called high-end drummers pay
$10,000 to achieve. He keeps the simplest of beats and is largely
unaware of what the other two guys in the band are doing. He is
tripping on his own groove and he cannot care less – unless his band
members reach for his stash. The Satanic and gloomy lyrics are a
change of pace. Unfortunately, the grammar needs some polishing. At
one point the vocalist sings “… you dead,” but it sounds like “god is
dead.” Listen for the simplistic noise solo on the track. Beyond The
Door has a story under its effects and keyboards. Remorse is a clone
of Saint Vitus and contains psychedelia. The aforementioned You Dead
picks up the pace and is actually the best track here. There is a
tightness and groove to the band’s acceleration. There is a booming
catchiness here. Track number eight is eight minutes of
simultaneously experimental and laidback heaviness.
Owing to its simplicity Evil Desire is quite easy to get into. The
band has few pretensions. It is cool to see Satan find his way back
into doom metal again. The front and back cover chick needs more
nudity, but hey beggars cannot be choosers. – Ali “The Metallian”
