The Graviators

“Haxagram”
Evil Deeds (Napalm Records)
release date: 8/31/2012
by Scott Hefflon

Second release from these Swedish doomsters, and it doesn’t take long into “Haxagram” to note the solid riffing, the dry production, and the odd timbre of the vocals. Like a real young Ozzy reaching for the high notes and the bottle simultaneously, destined to only hit one of them. While many sludge rockers go gruff or deathy to cover the fact they just ain’t no Dio, The Graviators stand by the near-sobbing anguished plea.
