The music of MAR de GRISES invites to a desolate trip through the endless movement of our lives. Bitter feelings and the diverse forms in which the man expresses them are intermingled with the most various musical elements to create an intense sonorous film, where moving emotions emerge from overwhelming atmospheres.

This is somewhat of a surprise, the up-and-coming Finnish doom label Firebox signing a Chilean band with an original take on doom metal. Mar De Grises (“sea of gray”) has produced an extraordinary debut album in The Tatterdemalion Express, mixing elements of doomdeath, ambient, funeral doom, and even progressive into a seemless and unique sound. The songs are long (averaging around eight minutes each), sometimes complex but never overly ambitious. This is one of the best doom albums in the last several years.” - BNR Metal Archive

“Their music is not powerful only by virtue of its intense melancholy, but its refined beauty. Theres something comforting about this, a poetic spirit that shows us the quintessentially human nature of sorrow. Its sad, yet warm; seductive, but not corrupting. A stunningly beautiful release that needs to be heard by everyone.” - Sinister, Australia

“Those who truly explore metal, those who do choose to seek out this recording will find a treasure of immeasurable value in the heart of the Andes.” - Digitalmetal.com

Looking forward to see "For Just An Eternity" remastered... a bonus on a new album? That'd be great..

Mar de Grises and Swallow the Sun are definitely my favorite death-doom acts.

um, and that happens in a way, it's not really sad or angry or demonic... it's more,"hovering" if you like, just like post-rock.

the music is good but very repetitive, it makes me think more post-rock than doom at times... same 4 notes keyboard riff throughout the song, drums fades in, then cymbals, then some guitars and then all diminishes except keyboard, then the same thing happens again with a tempo shift... that's post-rock.

Absolutely glorious. Which is weird because the music itself is very simple. But somehow it all contributes to this passionate, colossal music that this band does.

Mar De Grises doesn't competes with anything. They're simply the best doom metal band nowadays.
