Artist History Cradle To Grave was formed in late February of 2002 by guitarist Denis Barthe formerly of Aggression with vocalist Greg Cavanagh and bassist Eric Green both formerly of the band Bottom Feeder. In May of 2003 they would be joined by drummer Matt Fowler to round out the current lineup. They have boldly positioned themselves on both ends of the emotional spectrum while pillaging everything in between. Love. Loss. Happiness. Anger. A monster has been created. A monster with nothing to prove. Or lose. And so it begins...

Press Reviews Cradle To Grave was given birth to in February of 2002 by guitarist Denis Barthe (ex "Aggression"), vocalist Greg Cavanagh, bassist Eric Green, and drummer Marc Majorel (all ex members of "Bottom Feeder"). Since the completion of this recording, Marc has been replaced by new skins master, Matt Fowler. This is their first recording, a 5-song demo that shows a wide verity of influences. Although this band is from Canada, there is a heavy dose of southern-fried Metal, you can see similarities to bands like "Down", "Superjoint Ritual", and all the others that make up the NOLA scene. Cradle To Grave have also pillaged what they wanted from the Thrash, Hardcore, and Nu-Metal genres, mixed it all together, and have forged a powerful sound. Some songs are a little odd, "Nuclear Flowers" has a passage that almost sounds disco-ish??? But when you hear tracks like "Southern Oak", and "Just Cause", you know they have hit upon something great. Greg's vocals are harsh, and almost cross the line into Death-Metal territory, but just as they are about to cross over, he rains himself back in. The rest of the band is pretty damn solid as well, and for a demo, this sounds bloody great. If I were you, I'd start pimpin' this band to your friends now. That way, when they make it big, you can say you were there from the beginning. RATING = 8 Metal (Released 2003) Jeff Richardson at Urotsokidoji's Pad magazine from Toronto
