Early Graves was a U.S.-based extreme metal ensemble that combined influences from hardcore punk, thrash metal, crust punk, and sludge metal genres.
Origins
Established in 2007 by ex-members of the technical metal outfit Apiary, Early Graves embarked on extensive tours throughout the United States alongside bands such as The Handshake Murders, Gaza, The Funeral Pyre, and Unearth. Their first full-length record, We: The Guillotine, was launched worldwide on August 19, 2008, via Ironclad/Metal Blade Records. This was followed by their sophomore album, Goner, released on June 22, 2010. The group concluded their activities after a final performance at the Decibel Metal & Beer Festival held on December 10, 2021.
Passing of Makh Daniels
Vocalist Makh Daniels tragically lost his life in a vehicular accident on August 2, 2010, while en route from Oregon to Reno, Nevada. Ironclad Recordings, responsible for releasing Early Graves' second album Goner earlier that June, issued an official message offering sympathies to Daniels' relatives, friends, and band members.
