Grief (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grief were one of the pioneering acts of Sludge doom. This Boston based was founded in 1991 by Disrupt guitarist Terry Savastano and drummer Randy Odierno (who later switched to bass and later again left to join Bane of Existence). In 2001 the band split up due to being unhappy with the hostile musical climate in which their music (doom-metal) was unfortunatly not appreciated anymore. They broke up in 2001 due to what they called a "hostile environment for doom metal bands". They reunited in July, 2005.
Upon splitting the band blamed the scene for a lack of support for doom metal in general. The band had several 7"s including one with Dystopia and Corrupted each. An album called Turbulent Times appeared in 2002 through Southern Lord which was merely a compilation record. The group reunited for one show at the first annual New England Grind And Doom Fest on July 17th, 2005 at at The Living Room in Providence, RI
