Grief
Founded in 1991 by Disrupt guitarist Terry Savastano and drummer Pete Donovan in Massachusetts, Grief were among the earliest and most uncompromising practitioners of sludge metal, fusing hardcore punk's hostility with doom metal's glacial tempos. Their discography across Pessimiser Records — including Come to Grief (1994) and the sprawling Torso (1998) — documented a distinctly New England strain of depression and aggression. The band dissolved in 2001, citing a hostile environment for doom metal, before briefly reuniting in 2008; Savastano later revived the lineage as Come to Grief.
