The Grief is proud to release their debut single this month: “A New Dawn” available digitally now on Spotify & all other common streaming platforms.
A New Dawn comes from the band’s debut digital EP “Ascent” to be released in late February.
A lyric video for the single can both be found below, with the single’s artwork at the top of this post.
Formed in early 2016, The Grief features members from Cork-based metal bands Corr Mhóna and For Ruin, some of whose members had originally played together in a Katatonia tribute band. The Grief plays a mixture of doom-tinged metal with influences from all the aforementioned bands & made some live appearances in 2017 before recording an initial unreleased demo with the initial line up of the band: Robert Farrow - Drums, Kieran O'Leary - Bass, Paul Quinn - Guitars, Stephen Quinn - Vocals, John Murphy – Guitars.
With the drum position vacated by Farrow who has since moved abroad, the band decided to focus on recording their first 9 songs during 2019 at Murphy’s home studio in North Cork. Recordings were completed in late 2019 with Murphy performing the drum parts while a new drummer was being recruited.
The 9 songs have been mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound (www.unisound.se) in January 2020 and the band plans to release the material digitally via a number of releases during 2020.
