GRAVE PLEASURES (ex-BEASTMILK) announces new drummer Uno Bruniusson (IN SOLITUDE) and inks a deal with Sony!

Uno Bruniusson of Swedish metal pioneers IN SOLITUDE joins GRAVE PLEASURES, the band formerly known as BEASTMILK. The band have signed a record deal with Sony. They head into the studio this may with award-winning producer Tom Dalgety (ROYAL BLOOD, KILLING JOKE) and will release their new album in September 2015.

GRAVE PLEASURES now complete their impressive and illustrious lineup with new drummer Uno Bruniusson (co-founding member of now laid to rest Swedish band IN SOLITUDE, drummer for PROCESSION) who has joined their ranks in April 2015. Bruniusson’s vast experience, accomplished drumming flair and eclectic range of styles consummates the GRAVE PLEASURES lineup into a formidable force to be reckoned with.

Bruniusson marries his metal to singer/songwriter and founding member Mat “Kvohst” McNerney (also of HEXVESSEL), original Beastmilk bassist Valtteri Arino, guitarist/song-writer Linnéa Olsson (founding member and song-writer of THE OATH and SONIC RITUAL) who had joined BEASTMILK earlier in 2014, and new live/studio guitarist Juho Vanhanen of well-known Finnish blackmetal titans ORANSSI PAZUZU.

As self-styled apocalyptic post-punks, BEASTMILK were one of the most talked-about bands in recent times. Their “painful war-cry of the eternally doomed,” as one journalist described it, resonated with fans of all genres. They were instantly picked up on by Pitchfork, NME and The Guardian with raving reviews, and took the music scene by storm.

In early 2015 they announced that co-founding guitarist Johan Snell had departed their ranks, and the band will continue under the new moniker of GRAVE PLEASURES. But the rumbling grassroots momentum which built up behind them, has now transformed into something much, much bigger as GRAVE PLEASURES announces that they have inked a deal with Sony. Heading into the studio with Tom Dalgety, frontman Mat McNerney proclaims that we can “expect a recording of raw, wild, intense and desperate punk that could ignite any dank bunker or collapse a stadium.”

McNerney expands on their vision by describing the debut album “Climax” as a “brief introduction.” He claims that “The new songs are so raw and so vital, that they delve much deeper. We’re not stopping at a prologue, we’re heading straight for the zenith of our sonic love affair with the apocalypse.”  The future of this band is surely going to be as unprecedented and extraordinary as its inception.The end has only just begun.

BEASTMILK – Present New Video For ‘The Wind Blows Through Their Skulls’

The New video by Finnish Apocalyptic Death-Rockers BEASTMILK for ‘The Wind Blows Through Their Skulls’ is Basically Anti-Communist Propaganda
When the world is coming to a nightmarishly brutal end in front of your eyes, your options of things to do in your final moments are a little limited, especially if you’re some schmuck living in an ideallic 50’s suburb. Sure, you could be a giant wuss and hold your family tight, telling them how much you love them and junk. Or, you could be a real dude and go down dancing with the ship.

That’s the idea behind BEASTMILK’s brand new video for their song ‘The Wind Blows Through Their Skulls.’ Red scare flicks from the 50’s and 60’s smashed and cut together with breakfast cereal ads of the time serve as the perfect backdrop for catastrophic, surfy death rock. Watch citizens of 50’s run screaming into bomb shelters, then come to a catharsis of celebration. Don’t forget to catch the band on tour surfin in the EU this summer, then again in the fall with the catastrophic IN SOLITUDE and OBNOXIOUS YOUTH.
