Just when you thought you had heard it all…. Evil Grave were an exceptionally unique
underground rock band from Malta that shook the islands with uncompromising attitude and
dark imagery.

Heavily influenced by Black Sabbath and early progressive rock with a traditional
Maltese twist, Death From Malta, gathers together all known existing material from the band.
Featuring 15-minute track: Machinery.

The band were discovered by Lee Dorrian when he was on vacation in Malta several years ago, after asking around about underground bands that may have existed on the islands during the late 60s/early 70s.

Asgard were a 3-piece, proto-progressive rock band from Coventry, UK. They were initially influenced by early Pink Floyd and The

Velvet Underground, before becoming more experimental in their own right. They soon caught the attention of legendary DJ and

general tastemaker; John Peel, who had planned to sign them to his Dandelion Records, before financial problems signalled the

demise of said label. In early 1970, they recorded these three tracks on a one-sided 12” acetate. They are the only recordings

by the band still known to still exist. The sole surviving acetate in question, had been sitting in the bass player’s garage since

the 70s and was not in the best of shape; sections of the lacquer had actually flaked off and had to be meticulously glued back on.

Thankfully it has been lovingly restored for the purpose of this archival release by Rise Above Relics.

Limited vinyl pressing of Trivialities is released by Rise Above Relics on February 14th. You can pre-order a copy here:
