CHAIN GANG GRAVE - "Fever Dream"


CHAIN GANG GRAVE: Metal Injection premieres Eyehategod-approved band's new track "Fever Dream"

Chain Gang Grave has revealed new track "Fever Dream," from its upcoming debut full-length album, Cement Mind.

As Metal Injection warns: "Chain Gang Grave is about to completely f*ck your day up with their skronky, jagged version of noise rock... It's like someone got Black Flag all types of messed up and then explained death metal to them. It rules."

Pre-order the album, here:

Gloriously raw and creepy, never predictable, Chain Gang Grave draws from a wide range of influences. 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. Williams recently delivered this quote: "There's an unstable balance of lurching heaviness here, but far from typical or cliched... The band delivers dissonant rock structures with a jagged melody built underneath the smell of burning hair and thrift store perfume."

Consisting solely of guitarist/vocalist Andrew Lanza and drummer Jason Markowitz, CGG rips the gate right off its hinges with its first full-length, Cement Mind. Songs like "Fever Dream" 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).
