Gloriously raw and creepy, never predictable, Chain Gang Grave draws from a wide range of influences – its sewer-sludge-death-punk nods to Black Flag, Immolation, and a whole lot in between. The band has been kicking around NYC for much of the past decade, releasing EPs and making a fan out of Mike IX Williams of Eyehategod, among others.
Four years since its last release, Chain Gang Grave returns, reborn as a duo, consisting solely of founding members Andrew Lanza and Jason Markowitz. The lean new incarnation of CGG rips the gate right off its hinges with its first full-length, Cement Mind. Songs like "Backwards Reaction" are bursting with end-of-the-world urgency and melodies that subjugate the ears.
Lanza states: "The album is split between the political and the personal. Some songs address the failures of the government and how poisonous far-right politics and conspiracies are, from the ground up. Other songs are attempts at verbalizing thoughts and feelings about confronting and overcoming mental illness."
Cement Mind was recorded and mixed by Lanza and Markowitz at their home studio in Brooklyn, and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Poison Idea, Dropdead, Ceremony).
