The Unquiet Grave Release Cosmic Dawn Tape

Swedish outfit The Unquiet Grave issued their debut release, Cosmic Dawn digitally in June, and Caligari Records has stepped in on the quick to follow that up with a physical pressing. There are 125 tapes made for the three-song offering, and the format seems like a good fit for the Norrköping-based project, reportedly helmed in its entirety by Micael Zetterberg, drummer for black metallers Aggressive Mutilator and former bassist/current drummer of death thrashers Terrorama, as well as the founder of Walking Lizzy Records, which released the 2012 Mesozoikum EP from Skraeckoedlan on vinyl.

A pretty varied background, and one that sets up The Unquiet Grave as an endeavor to be clear-headed in what it wants to accomplish. Information is minimal in terms of what’s given from Caligari or the band’s Bandcamp page — like more and more acts these days, The Unquiet Grave is reacting to the social impulse by playing it tight with the raw data of who’s involved, how, etc. — but Zetterberg keeps a near-retro vibe throughout Cosmic Dawn‘s three cuts, classic-style doom riffing meeting with a more languid impulse that the label seems to relate to folk. I’m not inclined to argue.

It’s a cool vibe either way, so while not much is really out there about the band, or where Zetterberg might ultimately be headed with it as a project, there are the songs, and they’re what matters.

The announcement from Caligari Records came down the PR wire and seemed right in line with The Unquiet Grave‘s minimalist sensibilities. It follows here:
