WITH 2017’s MOTHERBLOOD,
Grave Pleasures became one of the most exciting bands of the gothic revival. The Finns captured the macabre of Bauhaus and gloomy psychedelia of Echo And The Bunnymen, all while writing choruses that made the apocalypse sound riotously fun. Six years on, they’re finally ready to present
Plagueboys,
which by all indications is their most haunting offering yet.
We thought Grave Pleasures had disappeared. Where’d you go?
