| Grief Of Emerald > Albums & Lyrics |
Formed from the ashes of MANDATORY back in 90, EMERALD was given birth by Johnny (ex-DECAMERON, ODERU) and Anders (NECROFEAST). It’s only in 1996 that they stuck to the name of GRIEF OF EMERALD. A miniCD, now completely out of print, followed on a Scottish label. In September 96, the band entered the studio to record their debut ‘signs of a stormy past’ which, due to some financial problem from the said label, never saw the shadow of the dark. Two years later, the band got hooked up by LISTENABLE and their debut album and they decided tore-record some songs form the previous album and add some new hot shots. Haunting and intricate, GRIEF OF EMERALD’s debut definitely showed a band with potential thanks to their heavily loaded guitars, gunmachine like double bass, haunting keys and tortured vocals. This successful ear slaughtering piece came out in October 98 bearing the title of ‘nightpawn’. GRIEF OF EMERALD have been answering a lengthy list of interviews up to now establishing the band’s name and boasting their will to kill. The band headlined a metal festival in the South of France , played some dates in Benelux and are scheduled to play to some festival this summer in support of their new album ‘malformed seed’. Engineered by band’s keyboard player Bengtsson, the new album benefits from an even more smashing production. It also blows the first offering with its added intensity, it’s 7 string down tuned guitars and those particular stomping slimy parts that crush the whole place. With massive audio torture like ‘threshold to fire’ or the unrelenting majestic ‘wingless’, the wicked ‘life has lost’, GRIEF OF EMERALD have now found their niche in the overcrowded black/death metal scene and are establishing their own style in a very clever manner. The band have also expanded their lyrical style to bloody topics like in‘nightstalker’dealing with a serial killer, or the huge sounding ‘beaten beyond recognition’ . (No, it doesn’t deal with nice girls as you may suggest) Like razor blades, they slaughter and leave no survivals !!
