THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE is PERILOUS GRAVE's latest offering of Epic Gothic Black Metal.
Released on July 7th, 2025 - it is the project's greatest effort yet. Featuring eight tracks of CARNIVOROUS
CARNAL CARNAGE, it has been posted on accounts such as SYMPHONIC BLACK METAL PROMOTION.
The CDRs and cassette tapes also feature covers of "Body Electric" by
Sisters of Mercy and "Princess of the Night" by Saxon,
with the Bandcamp Deluxe Version featuring three exclusive bonus tracks that aren't available anywhere else.
ABHARTACH
ABHARTACH is a compilation of remastered songs preceding the new era of Perilous Grave
as well as three new recordings: "ABHARTACH" - A new song written for the compilation to demonstrate the new sound of the project "ELDEST OF LIGHTNINGS" - A cover of Megiddo's forgotten masterpiece "MEMORIES OF THE DARK" - A full reworking of an ancient PERILOUS GRAVE song from 2021
"Archaic tragedies thought lost..."
There are quite a few releases from Perilous Grave that precede the current era, however these
recordings are not adequate enough to remain amongst the current era of the band. However, they
still remain on Bandcamp as people have paid for them. These releases are the following:
"SAPPHIRES AND SULPHUR" (Halloween 2024)
This EP had four tracks of songs that aren't too unlike the current songwriting of PERILOUS GRAVE,
but their production is too amateur and my skills weren't there yet to bring my ideas to fruition.
I consider it to be the final entry in the Hallow's Eve trilogy.
"COUNTESS OF CRIMSON KNIGHTS" (20th July 2024)
This is the second full length album from PERILOUS GRAVE, with a whopping 80 minutes of music.
It's only a shame that those 80 minutes are produced abysmally. I am interested in revisiting this record
and Sapphires and Sulphur in the future.
This release was dedicated to JON KENNEDY.
"SOILSIU" (11th November 2023)
This record is similar to CRADLE OF FILTH's "VEMPIRE" in the way that it is a similar
runtime to a full-length, but is conceptually an EP. Seven minitracks of Celtic Darkness.
The longest track on this record is almost 6 minutes, which is humourous considering that would
become an average runtime of a modern PERILOUS GRAVE song.
"GLIMPSE" (Halloween 2023)
This demo is the second entry in the Hallow's Eve trilogy, and features early versions
of tracks from the cancelled album "YŪGEN" aswell as an
early version of "THE COUNTESS OF CRIMSON KNIGHTS".
"MORS OMNIBUS" (26th August 2023)
PERILOUS GRAVE's debut full length. This album definitely has a vision, but that is
about as far as it goes. I was still quite young at the time of recording this, and
this is reflected in the production, performance, and overall product of the album.
"BLACK METAL HORROR HITS BRITAIN!" (Halloween 2022)
The first in the Hallow's Eve trilogy.
The first in the graven saga.
PERILOUS GRAVE's debut demo.
"RUBIES AND REQUIEM" (???)
There was a briefly released follow-up to "SAPPHIRES AND SULPHUR" called "RUBIES AND REQUIEM",
but I will not allow this EP to be released as long as I am present on this cursed Earth.
It is the worst product of PERILOUS GRAVE and it is a smear to the discography.
The only remnant of this lost EP is "CAILLEACH'S TRAGEDY" on "ABHARTACH".
