“The music of MAR de GRISES invites to a desolate trip through the endless movement of our lives. Bitter feelings and the diverse forms in which the man expresses them are intermingled with the most various musical elements to create an intense sonorous film, where moving emotions emerge from overwhelming atmospheres.”
With a transverse aesthetic in music genres, and rescuing the most romantic poetry of their country, MAR DE GRISES (Sea of Grays) have broken barriers of distance and prejudice, opening from Chile to the recognition of the worldwide Doom and Avant-garde Metal scene.
Seems unusual, but this young southamerican band was already signing with Firebox Records just after the release of the Demo (2002), making its debut from Europe to the world. At the beginning of 2004, “The Tatterdemalion Express” was acclaimed for its unique and graceful soundscapes, and by 2005 the band was travelling around the world giving exclusive concerts in France, Germany, Holland, Spain, Belgium and Italy, including a stellar participation in the mythical Doom Shall Rise festival, in Germany.
Since then, Fans and media all over the world have awarded the band’s original and honest proposal.
Four years have passed and “Draining the Waterheart” is the long awaited step.
This is not the same song over and over again. Musical elements of diverse styles are back to conjugate themselves inviting to a unique trip across our most intense feelings. The bitter taste of Doom and the roughness of Death Metal intermingle with the delicate sensibility of Post Rock and the versatility of the progressive symphonic.
As this procession continues, an emotive aura seems to prevail and our illusions hide between endless melodies.
