We were big fans of Finland’s Beastmilk when their debut album was released a few years back. The bad news is that was their only album, as they broke up shortly afterwards. The good news is that singer Kvohst and bassist Valterri Arino continued on as Grave Pleasures, with help from guitarist Linnea Olsson, formerly […]

The debut Beastmilk album, 2013’s Climax, was one of those non-metal albums that was immediately accepted by metal fans. While there was certainly some heaviness to the band, and singer Mat McNerney logged time in Finnish folk metal band Hexvessel, the band’s sound was more rooted in dark post-punk along the lines of old Killing Joke […]

We were big fans of Beastmilk’s 2013 album, Climax. While it was a little more post-punk than metal, the band boasted Mat “Kvohst” who’s played in death metal bands like Hexvessel and Code. At any rate, Beastmilk is a thing of the past, as they’ve changed their name to Grave Pleasures and recruited a new guitarist, […]

One of our favorite albums of last year was Beastmilk’s debut full-length, Climax. While it fits more into the loud post-punk landscape than it does metal, it was loud, aggressive, and split the difference between Christian Death and Joy Division. Yet the stellar production from Converge’s Kurt Ballou and frontman Kvohst’s black metal past was […]

The Finnish band’s debut isn’t really a metal record, per se, and would appeal more to fans of Christian Death and Bauhaus than anything else. However, their brand of “death rock” struck a chord with us, and it’s fast, dark and just heavy enough for […]

[youtube]http://youtu.be/hpoe4Ih1FT0[/youtube] Finnish export Beastmilk might have a ridiculous name, but they’ve also got an interesting lineage. Vocalist Kvohst has played in black metal bands Code and Dodheimsgard, as well as folk band Hexvessel. Their four song EP perked up Converge’s ears, and the band’s Kurt Ballou recorded the band’s debut full length, Climax. A lyric video […]
