Surely a band that formed in the summer of 2006 can't be worth listening to? Wrong, very wrong. Serving their time in a whole host of hardworking bands that fell by the wayside, the five musicians who make up The Grieving Process: Senen, John, Jesse, Mudd and James, came together with a very precise aim, that of producing lasting death metal without even the slightest hint of compromise. Lasting death metal isn't a collection of riffs and breakdowns designed to tick off every box in the 'Eye Spy Guide to Modern Metal', it's music that won't do anything it doesn't deem part of a natural progression in order to fit in with whatever trend has captured the imagination of MTV2, shift CDs to clueless chancers or sound particularly good shoehorned onto the soundtrack of an overpriced and ultimately crap video game tie-in movie. With the release of a 3-song EP in the late summer of 2006, The Grieving Process caught the attention of Anticulture Records, a strong independent label from Europe. A deal was soon signed and the band was right back in studio working on their debut. The perfect antidote to homogenous, sludgy death metal that is coating the scene in laziness and mediocrity, The Grieving Process have already destroyed the East Coast with over a hundred shows and have toured through the states twice to support the release of 'Assimilated Deformation', sharing the stage with such acts as Suicide Silence, Despised Icon, Unmerciful, Winds Of Plague, See You Next Tuesday, Full Blown Chaos, Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza, The Classic Struggle, The Acacia Strain, Recon, Emmure, and many more. The band returned from a tour of Europe including a performance at this year's Death Feast Open Air Fest in Germany and a string of dates in the UK and France sharing the stage with labelmates Gutworm and Evisorax and even the mighty Dying Fetus at some stops, with the release of their debut EP 'Assimilated Deformation', and the recent signing to Blast Corpse Promotions, a European booking agency, geography will no longer be an adequate shield against their brand of hyper-brutal, yet intelligent, death metal fury. Starting this August TGP will begin the writing process of a new CD and plan on an early 2009 release of one sick, brutal album!
