GRAVE DOMAIN
Weirdjazz WJ20230002 / LR-2197607
"The concept for Grave Domain came out of my pastime of photographing graveyards, which I’ve done for many years. I wanted to make music for those who work with the dead. And I didn’t want it to be morose. I wanted it to be anthemic. The result is an album that represents the spaces between the land of the living and the land of the dead."

REVIEWS
"Baltimore based Grave Domain is the one-man metal/hard rock/goth creation of one Shel Plock who took the name from a character he found flipping through a Dungeons & Dragons spell book. Proudly lo-fi in attitude, Grave Domain thunder through such songs as 'Death Notices' and 'Across the Acheron' with a rabid kaleiodoscopic energy, enhanced with strains of psyched-out 70s synthesizer for cheap splatter movie soundtrack effect. Plock signs/burns out with 'Deth Bed' [sic], a great, mad rant squawked through a shredded microphone, as a roiling junk-heap of broken electric guitars and crushed electronics crashes behind him."
— The Wire (Issue 475 September 2023)
"Something of a concept album... the new collection introduces a 'host of characters' with a prevailing horror theme, track by track. Grave Domain leans into its influences as a 'pastiche of heavy metal, hard rock, and gothic influences derived from music, comic books, and horror novels alike, stitched together like some Frankenstein’s monster with a taste for the anthemic.'"
