Spiral Grave - Join Argonauta Records, To Release Debut Record


US doomers Spiral Grave, featuring also members of the legendary Iron Man, have recently signed a new contract with Argonauta Records for the release of their debut full length effort. Dubbed Legacy Of The Anointed, it is planned to land in stores later this year. More to follow.




Comments guitarist Willy Rivera about Spiral Grave's upcoming debut: Some of the musical ideas that ended up as songs on our debut were initially written while I was still with my previous band but with a rift growing between myself and the other members over personal and musical differences, I decided to hold onto them til I was able to find the right vehicle for them. I wanted to step away from the extremity of my former band and get back to writing songs that were heavy but had hooks and a strong vocal presence. For this band, I wanted to draw from bands such as Dio-era Sabbath, Candlemass, Metal Church, Armored Saint, Mountain, UFO and Judas Priest with enough experimentation that would allow us to branch out on future releases. I wanted that to be the template and I found like-minded friends in the surviving members of Iron Man. I've known Dee for over a decade and met Lou and Mot from the scene and affiliations and while I knew working with them would bring certain expectations due to the legendary status of Iron Man, I was hopeful in what we could create and had a gut feeling that it would be great. I was very aware of the fact that you only get one shot to make your 1st impression and being that I was writing a lot of the initial ideas,it meant that I had a lot to prove?not to mention, the scrutiny that I may encounter from people who perceived me as somehow trying to replace Al Morris but you can't replace a legend so you just try to make your own mark. So Spiral Grave is a new band with a debut album that I think will do justice to not only the scene we come from but those who helped pave the way?"
