Former Cancer front man John Walker formed this band in the summer of 2006. It hasn't a lot to do with the death metal he played with Cancer. The style Liquid Graveyard plays isn't easy to describe. You can call it Avant garde alternative progressive gothic death metal, but even then you have no idea how they sound.
One thing is sure, it isn't easy stuff to listen to and I am not always amused by Raquel Walker's vocals. Especially the growls are not very convincing. Sometimes she uses semi-spoken parts but also soprano high ones. Also on the soprano part she can't compete with the known female fronted gothic bands. After 4 songs I loose the attention because the songs are just not strong enough and after a while it gets bored. When you want to shine, the vocals should be much stronger and the songs are just too average.
Perhaps there are people that like this kind of hybrid metal, for me they just mix too many styles and because of that they forgot to write songs that stick in your mind and have a head and a tail. Not my kind of thing! But don't let that stop you to take a listen!
