Serving their time in a whole host of hardworking bands that since fell by the wayside, the five musicians that make up The Grieving Process have come together with a very precise aim, that of producing lasting death metal without even the slightest hint of compromise. After nine months of writing and just before they were poised to record their vocals, singer Jay departed, but not before securing a replacement in James Van Damm. This easily resolved drama the only blip in an otherwise seamless process, one driven by the bands admirable purity of purpose, one inspired by the dedication to songwriting and evolution that has marked bands like Cryptopsy and Cannibal Corpse. The perfect antidote to the homogenous, sludgy death metal that is coating the scene in laziness and mediocrity, The Grieving Process have already destroyed the East Coast with over a hundred shows and with the release of their debut full-length ‘Assimilated Deformation’, geography will no longer be an adequate shield against their brand of hyper-brutal, yet intelligent, death metal fury.
