"Earthen Grave's Dismal Times rewards increasingly on repeated listen ... Rachel Barton Pine, an accomplished and respected classical violinist, makes her strings burn, soar and rip, lending the material here a very unique edge... You can just see the heads banging in your mind ... and over the thrash the violin skitters, stabs and saws... trust me, you are unlikely to have ever heard anything quite like it ... If the doom gods are with us, this band will stay around and continue to produce the kind of unique, powerful and thoughtful music contained on Dismal Times." - HellrideMusic.com

What a show! I've seen 2 shows in the past week and was equally amazed by the raw power coming from the stage The fans at citylimits weren't as entused as the rave but nevertheless Earthen Grave shells out alot of energy. Looking forward to upcoming shows like vnuks! A die hard fan - Darren

Besides being very beautiful, your musicianship and talent are second to none!!! I unfortunately wasn't able to attend your show here in El Paso, Texas, which I regret,but will make sure I catch your next one!!! In the short time I become aware of you and your music, I have become a fan of yours !! The three excerpts of your band Earthen Graves songs I have heard are fantastic and I will be purchasing your cd ASAP!! Your style is remeniscent of Testament and Dream Theater and your technique in both metal and classical are amazing to say the least!! I will begin collecting all your cd's very soon!! Keep up the great work!!!!!!!!!! - Rick Loya
