GROTESQUE BLISS - Grotesque Bliss Format CD

Release date April, 2025

Hailing from Australia, GROTESQUE BLISS feature vocalist / bassist Bjorn of the equally mighty TEMPLE NIGHTSIDE and Grave Upheaval; guitarist Chris Burton, whose credentials stretch back to the '90s with Paramacium, Cryptal Darkness, and then the successive The Eternal among others; and veteran drummer Matthew Southcombe, whose credits include Internecine Excoriation among others, filling out the lineup. In 2022, the trio promptly set about capturing their ancient doom-death. Two rehearsals followed, with a self-titled demo arriving in 2024. Now, that demo sees international release in expanded form, concluding with a cover of My Dying Bride's classic "I Am the Bloody Earth." Thus padded out to a full-length, GROTESQUE BLISS' first long-form recording is a dark & disturbing display of paradigmatic doom-death, and unapologetically so.
