5 Star Grave

5 Star Grave is a heavy metal band from Cuneo, Italy. The band was formed in 2005 by Thierry Bertone, the guitarist and Gabriele Lingua the drummer and after a few months’ time the rest of the band members came along, Alessandro Blengino on guitar, Hervè De Zulian on synth, Claudio Ravinale the singer and Andrea Minolfi on the bass and vocals. In 2006 the band released their first EP ”The Zero Hour” named after the band’s name “Ground Zero” at that time. In 2007 they changed the band name to “5 Star Grave” and the year after that, in 2008 they recorded their first full length album “Corpse Breed Syndrome”, the album was like the others self-produced.   

2010 the band honored the punk legends’ the Ramones and released a free version of their classic song “Pet Sematary ”. It’s interesting to hear how 5 Star G, does the Ramones song and puts their musical stamp on it. It’s a nice version!

5 Star Grave recorded their second full length album “Drugstore Hell” in 2011 and in October that year they got signed to “Massacre Records”. The “Drugstore Hell” album got a release date the 25^th of May, 2012 that same year Gabriele Lingua left the band, now Roberto Gaia plays the drums instead. 

I think their music is sounding a bit like Murderdolls angry cousin. It’s dark and angry ”f*** you lyrics” performed with lighter and a melodic type of metal / horror metal with a horror punk style and with a straightforward angry approach to it. Yet it’s still catchy tones and if you’re into metal and the horror genre this is something to check out!

Worth mentioning 5 Star Grave appreciates their fans and have realized the value of them and what difference for a band they can make, here’s a quote from their blog. That you can find yourself at www.5stargrave.blogspot.com

“Your support is extremely important for us, a band ain't worth a flyin' fuck without it’s fans and we'll try to give you free stuff every time we can, in exchange we ain't asking you to buy our records or our merch, but simply to spread our videos and ask for 5SG gigs at your local metal promoter if you have the chance... It ain't that much after all, ain't it?”
