WAXFACE the graves of god TEST128399

Digging into the Belgian Heavy Metal Vaults: Waxface’s ‘The Graves Of God’ (TEST 128399)

Today’s entry excavates a gem from the Belgian heavy metal archives. We are looking at the 1985 EP “The Graves Of God” by Waxface, released on the legendary cult label Mausoleum Records with the catalog number TEST 128399.

This 12-inch, 45 RPM vinyl is a classic example of the output from Mausoleum, a label revered by collectors for documenting the European metal scene of the 80s. Waxface delivers a solid slab of traditional heavy metal across four tracks.

The EP features:
A1: Graves Of God
A2: Dressed To Kill
B1: Night Killers
B2: Are You Ready For A Ride

Recorded at Joe’s Garage in Waalwijk, Holland, and self-produced by the band, the release captures the raw energy of the mid-80s Belgian scene. The band features Frank Haesevoets on vocals and guitar, Phil Bertrand on guitar, Didier Keerstockt on bass, and Manhattan on drums.

TEST 128399 is a sought-after item for Mausoleum completists and fans of obscure 80s Euro-metal, offering a concentrated dose of the era’s heavy riffs and attitude.
