Grief

Grief carved a decent underground career playing ponderous, hateful sludge-doom, with rather bleak lyrics, at least judging from song titles such as "I Hate The Human Race", "Shoot Me", and "Miserably Ever After". The band released numerous singles and split EPs along with the five albums listed (the sixth, Turbulent Time, is a compilation of rarities and leftovers). The band first officially broke up in 2001, citing a dislike for the current doom scene (a lack of a consistent drummer, a problem that plagued the band throughout its career, was also a contributing factor), and since then have reformed and disbanded several times.
