The band comments: “ This is the first song we wrote after Covid cut our tour Short to Play festivals in Austin in March of 2020. It was a strange time as we watched the world shut down and one of us became very ill. A friend took us in for three days and we soaked in the landscape and ambiance of Texas. There was this feeling in riff and rhythm that personified our extremely bizarre and positive experience. People at the venues were thanking us for not canceling out as other bands had. The Texas metal community has the most hospitable people on earth. The song wrote itself in literally ten minutes. We even returned to Texas to film the music video for the song. ”
Formed back in 2018 by brothers Patrick and Anthony Salerno, and aptly named after the graveyard situated next to their home, GRAVE NEXT DOOR delves into the dark and macabre. Drawing from the iconic sounds of BLACK SABBATH, BLACK FLAG and even CREAM, all blended with the trio’s individual edge. Sanctified Heathen sees the band deliver brutally heavy distortion, doom grooves and powerful vocals. A morbid exploration awaits with lyrical themes of addiction, mortality, war, and their own personal experiences seeping through the album.
