The official Jeff Gruslin appreciation thread[views:26465][posts:53]_______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:12pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] [img] Hands down one of the most brutal black/death metal vocalists to ever come out of New England or the world for that matter........ And he is back for the fucking Satanic attack!!!!!!!!! He has a new band called Godless! Watch for some gigs with Godless and CNV in the coming months! |
| _______________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:16pm - eddie ""] who? |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:22pm - Ninkaszi187 ""] eddie said:who? the real singer of vital remains. he sang on the demos, seven inch, and first two records. some of the sickest vocals ever. |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:23pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] Jeff Gruslin original Vokillist for Vital Remains (Reduced to Ashes demo, Excruciating Pain, Black Mass 7", Let us Pray and Into Cold Darkness). Vital Remains had THE best stage show I have ever seen when he was in the band..... |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:24pm - davefromthegrave ""] was he with them when they played the very first nemhf? |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:24pm - davefromthegrave ""] I ask because, the vocalist they had then was fucking amazing, and one of the best vocalists I have seen or heard to date. |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:29pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] davefromthegrave said:was he with them when they played the very first nemhf? I believe that was Thorns.........Different guy. |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:30pm - davefromthegrave ""] okay. that guy looked too big anyway. was this the dude with the big fuckin tumor on the side of his head? |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:30pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] no |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:32pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] I think he quit around 96' and then resurfaced very briefly but then quit again. There was another guy that did vox for Vital Remains who looked similiar. |
| _______________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:34pm - eddie ""] oh |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:35pm - davefromthegrave ""] they've pretty much had a different vocalist every time I've seen them, and I've seen them 5 or 6 times |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:41pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] Yeah, he is one of the most under rated vocalists I think. It would be awesome if he did VOX in a old Necrophobic style band. It would be the most satanic thing ever...... |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:53pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Is that a NECROVORE shirt? I went to Jeff's house once, it was like a record store, he was a vinyl freak. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 9:56pm - xxx proctologist ""] i saw him with vital way back in the day and even though he just pretty much stood there he had an incredible presence on stage |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 10:01pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Yeah, I got to see him about a dozen times or more, he would just stare straight ahead above the crowd. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 10:09pm - Notorious_D.U.G. ""] wasn't he let go after his comeback because he couldn't sing the newer songs on Dawn of the Apocolypse? |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 20,2005 10:18pm - xxx proctologist ""] AUTOPSY_666 said:Yeah, I got to see him about a dozen times or more, he would just stare straight ahead above the crowd. yeah he was just so scary lookin,that was also the first time i saw3 corpse paint or whatever live it really blew me away! he had this big fuckin cross or something on his mic stand and just sauntered over and started beltin it out! sick! |
| ________________________________________ [Oct 21,2005 12:35am - greggdeadface ""] glen benton aint got shit on this dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| _______________________________________________ [Oct 23,2005 5:45pm - coldnorthernvengeance ""] Watch for this show coming soon Nunslaughter Godless (featuring Jeff Gruslin) Cold Northern Vengeance Martyrvore Hekseri |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 23,2005 7:55pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] This is great news, but there are already like five bands called Godless out there, most notably the Puerto Rican band. Who knows though maybe they'll change it. CNV gets 1000 points for mentioning Necrophobic. |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 23,2005 7:56pm - DrinkHardThrashHard ""] greggdeadface said:glen benton aint got shit on anyone Fixed >:] Except for all those police departments who shit on him for his delves into the realm of statuatory rape. |

| ___________________________________________ [Oct 23,2005 10:19pm - davefromthegrave ""] I was only asking people who don't fuck donkeys, you goddamn dirty donkey-fucker. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 9:10am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I heard Thorns was a heroin addict. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 10:08am - largefreakatzero ""] I have Into Cold Darkness -- great fucking album. I think I saw them at Club Babyhead when that first came out. I remember lots of candles on stage... "Swear it! Swear it! Swear your oath to Satan!" |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 10:18am - dftg nli ""] AUTOPSY_666 said:I heard Thorns was a heroin addict. I heard that was the reason he was so good, he was always hopped up on coke and acid when he was on stage. just a rumor of course. I still want to know what other bands he's been in cause I loved that guy's performance. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 10:23am - the_reverend ""] who was the vital remains singer with long hair? that dude was funny. |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 11:19am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] That is Jake Raymond from Cape Cod in the 2001 picture. Chris Ross had long hair but he was in the band in like 1997, neither of those guys recorded with VR. I have no idea who that guy in the 2000 picture is. |
| ___________________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 11:21am - davefromthegrave ""] the_reverend said:who was the vital remains singer with long hair? that dude was funny. I'm pretty sure you're referring to the long haired dude who isn't glen. He seemed like more of a black metal vocalist than death metal. Between all the songs he would talk in a scary black metal voice, and I remember watching the drummer groan every time the dude opened his mouth. I could just tell that the band wasn't happy with him. |
| ______________________________________ [Oct 24,2005 4:50pm - Patnomalous ""] Yeah, I always use to enjoy their version of "39 lashes" from Jesus Christ Superstar. They were so over the top back in the day with Gruslin. Always a show when they use to play. Lots of theatrics. Upside down cross coffins with smoke, candles evrywhere, Evil robes with Satantic sermons. Just good showmanship. For a little awhile they were doing the corpse paint thing. My Favorite show was Autopsy, Incantation and Vital Remains @ Club Confeti. |

It was never released. It was suppose to be on the 2nd album but, the record label fucked up and it didn't make it. This is what I was told by Tony last year. When I was younger I use to see these guys all the time. back in 1991-92. Alot of killer shows back then. |

| ____________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 8:50pm - DevourTheConquered ""] was at the Scurvy Dog in Prov on Sat night...he was there |

| ___________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:00pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] I remember talking to Thorn a long time ago, I think his real name was TJ? He seemed pretty humble and down to earth. I recall Tony trash talking him in some AOL metal chat once, saying he got booted from VR for drug problems. Funny thing is, the dude Thorn/TJ came across as a lucid individual and denied what appeared to be bogus claims. |
| ______________________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:02pm - into cold slarkness ""] every one knows the real vr line up is the current one. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 8,2010 10:04pm - goatcatalyst ""] He probably scoffed at Tony's lugubrious hoagie rituals. |
| __________________________________ [Jul 10,2014 10:48am - IS NOT ""] he is NOT an NYDM prospect. do your homework. |
