Elevators to the Grateful Sky Releasing Cape Yawn March 11 on HeviSike
Sicilian four-piece Elevators to the Grateful Sky released their debut full-length, Cloud Eye, in 2013 through respected Swedish imprint Transubstans Records. The band has inked a new deal for the follow-up to come out through UK label HeviSike Records in March. It’ll be a download/LP-only deal out March 11, and the band has unveiled the first song of presumably several that will make their way to the public ahead of the release in the form of “Ground,” which is enough to pique my interest in what the rest of the record might have in store.
The announcement that Elevators to the Grateful Sky had signed to HeviSike came through the PR wire and brought the song with it. Whole deal looks a lot like this:
HeviSike Records announce signing of Italian psych rockers Elevators To The Grateful Sky | New album Cape Yawn released in March 2016
Cape Yawn will released on 11th March 2016 through HeviSike Records
The Birmingham-based label HeviSike Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Elevators To The Grateful Sky, and with it the release of their brand new album Cape Yawn in March 2016.
In what will be the second full-length album for the Palermo, Italy-based band, Cape Yawn marks a dramatic shift in both gear and sound for the heavy psych rockers who first came to light with the release of their self-titled debut EP in 2011.
Formed by friends Sandro Di Girolamo (Ex-Undead Creep) and Giuseppe Ferrara – both of whom cut their teeth as the brutal (and now defunct) death metal set Omega – Elevators To The Grateful Sky pull together and package a diverse range of influences from each band member’s distinct experience. Joined by Bonham-worshipping drummer Giulio Scavuzzo and guitarist Giorgio Trombino the band is a pressure cooker filled to the brim with psychedelic metal, doom, classic and groove-laden rock.
Serving their early days in their native Palermo, it didn’t take long for their EP to find its way onto the desk of Swedish label Transubstans Records who jumped at the chance to release their debut album Cloud Eye in 2013. An out-and-out foray into the darkened days of early grunge and straight up heavy 70s rock and roll, fast forward to Cape Yawn and the band has developed even further. Complimenting and drawing on influences as diverse as Danzig, Fu Manchu and legendary alt rockers Morphine (the song ‘Laura’ on Cape Yawn is dedicated to the band’s lead singer Mark Sandman) to galvanize their songwriting talents, Elevators To The Grateful Sky produce something entirely of their own making. It’s an album that will keep audiences guessing and leave no rock lover wanting.
Cape Yawn by Elevators To The Grateful Sky will be released on 11th March 2016 on HeviSike Records. In the meantime, you can share and stream the brand new track ‘Ground’ here
