Resigning in Oakland, California, Graves at Sea play a very Droney, Slow, Painful sounding type of Sludge. With members coming from previous bands and one member having knowledge in sound engineering their first demo went extremely well and immediately caught some attention in the doom metal subculture, promptly causing the band to get signed and start producing legit material and in turn, gaining even more praise in the metal scene.
