Grief

Grief is a multifaceted response to loss, particularly to the loss of someone or something that has died, to which a bond or affection was formed. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement refers to the state of loss, and grief is the reaction to loss.

Grief is a natural response to loss. It is the emotional suffering one feels when something or someone the individual loves is taken away. Grief is also a reaction to any loss. The grief associated with death is familiar to most people, but individuals grieve in connection with a variety of losses throughout their lives, such as unemployment, ill health or the end of a relationship. Loss can be categorized as either physical or abstract, the physical loss being related to something that the individual can touch or measure, such as losing a spouse through death, while other types of loss are abstract, and relate to aspects of a person’s social interactions.

    Biography

    Grief was founded in 1991 by Disrupt guitarist Terry Savastano and drummer Randy Odierno (who later switched to bass and later again left to join Bane of Existence). They broke up in 2001 mainly due to drummer problems - something that was an ongoing problem for the band from the start. They also cited what they called a "hostile environment for doom metal bands". They reunited briefly in July 2005 to play a cluster of reunion shows.

    The band had several 7"s including one with Dystopia and Corrupted each. A compilation album called Turbulent Times appeared in 2002 through Southern Lord. The group reunited for one show at the first annual New England Grind And Doom Fest on July 17, 2005 at The Middle East Cafe in Cambridge, MA. They were so excited by the response to this show that they began booking others, and they toured intermittently throughout 2005 and 2006.

    In 2005, the band played shows through in venues including The Ace of Clubs and The Knitting Factory in New York, The Khyber in Philadelphia, O'Brien's in Allston/Brighton, MA, The Living Room in Providence, RI, and Cherry St. Station in CT.

    Come To Grief

    by: Grief

    Encounter many problems in life
    Dealing with a constant strife
    Confidence nowhere to be found
    Ability run into the ground
    My future looks extremely bleak
    An immediate exit I seek
    Ready to take my chances with fate
    Carve my name in a block of slate
    Razor blades are everywhere
    They'll help me through my despair
    Horizontal slashes-the wrist
    Bleed, purge, my final bliss
    My equilibrium is way off balance
    I should be placed under surveillance
    As I add to these holes in the walls
    Life's got me by the balls
    Watch me as I come to grief
    Writhing in my final release
    Agony like you've never known
    From this clump of dust I'm thrown
    Betrayal!!!
    Betrayal!!!
    Deceived me
    I'll screw you all in the end
