Graben - Self Titled

GENRE: Hardcore, Crust, D-Beat, Metal
FFO: Entombed, Svffer, Trap Them, Alpinist

Here's a fantastic 11-song release from Cologne, Germany's Graben. You know going in that since they are from Germany, they are going to have that amazing crust sound nailed down. Beyond that, there are tons of Entombed-esque toe-tapping grooves hidden in this, along with furious tempos reminiscent of Alpinist and the vocal anger of Trap Them. If you can't tell already, I highly recommend this!
