Extreme Thursday: Liquid Graveyard


It's been a strange old week here at Femetalism, with everyone going off in different directions and having holidays in disparate parts of the country. I for one spent a weekend in fog and pouring rain up a hill in Derbyshire drinking tea and listening to Agalloch. But now we're back, chilled out and relaxed, just in time for yet another bloody Thursday.

If there's one thing musicians in successful bands love to have, it's side projects. It gives them room to breathe, try new stuff, experiment and, hopefully, produce some kick-ass metal while they're doing it. This week we have the side project of Cancer front-man John Walker; a bit of avante-garde progressive death metal in the form of Liquid Graveyard.

Liquid Graveyard were formed way back in 2006 by John, his wife Raquel and Adrian de Buitléar of Mourning Beloveth. Mixing many different styles and influences, the result is a somewhat eclectic mix of every bit of metal pulled together by the precise playing and hugely diverse vocal range of Raquel. Whether growling deep and slow, taking it higher with a more ethereal sound, or messing with synths and electronics, Raquel's vocal abilities pull together the disparate riffs, beats and styles.
