"Graveyard of the Gulf" by Deadgaard and Orchid's Curse (SPLIT)

Graveyard of the Gulf
As someone who loves extreme metal and the Maritime Provinces of Canada, Graveyard of the Gulf was tailor made for me!

To put it simply, this split LP is a cracker from front to back. All the best things about death metal are all here.

You want blast beats? Guitar solos? Angry vocals?

How about a title named after a gulf in Canada that was the site of over THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SHIPWRECKS?

Well, Graveyard of the Gulf has all of that and more.

Deadgaard takes side one and once they were done with me, it was hard to think that Orchid's Curse was going to be able to keep this going.

This is a great split because the bands are similar enough to make it seem like you're listening to a single album and different enough that you'll notice. Dargaard is a bit more death metal and Orchid's Curse are a bit more grindcore.

But variety is what makes this world fun.
