This is it folks!!
We are Grim Ordeal and we provide you with a “straight in your face!” mix of Thrash metal, groove metal and some more contemporary and even progressive elements. Featuring technical guitar work, gruff vocals and tempo fluctuations, Grim Ordeal has created a very unique yet recognizable sound.
We are based in the Dutch city of Deventer and have been active for a decade now.
We have released a 3 song demo back in 2011 (available to stream on Spotify) and a very well received first full release back in 2014 called “A Tragedy Unfolds”. If you’ve never heard that album before, feel free to contact any of us for availability and details and make sure to check the video we recorded for the titular track here:
We are asking you to contribute to our new album release so we can do it right. Our new material is more intricate and layered and needs expert sound engineering. We bring you songs you'll be listening to for decades to come and we're sure we have what it takes right here, ready to be recorded and unleashed upon the world!
You, our fans and contributors, can help us realize a new and bold step in a direction that is likely to lead to bigger gigs, better venues, exciting collaborations and new markets.
What YOU are supporting
We are actually still in the writing process, but have begun the recording of some of our new awesome songs. With 6 songs already to be heard on our current and upcoming live shows.
And i bet you want to HEAR one of our new songs! Here's a playthrough for Disillusion of War. Enjoy!!!!
It is our goal to raise $4500 which will help cover the costs of:
- Recording
- Mixing
- Mastering
- The Pro-Package deal with Into The Limelight Records
- Pressing of CD's
- Perks/Incentives
- Graphic Art for the new album
- Indiegogo Fees
- New Music Video for “Embrace the Darkness” shot by KRAL-Media
Lets have a deeper look at some of the above:
Recording/Mixing/Mastering
Obviously, the most important goal. Professional recording with one of the best in the business, J.B. van der Wal, (Herder/Aborted).
The Pro Package deal: Into The Limelight Records.
The record label we signed up with, Into The Limelight Records, will be releasing, pressing and distribute our new album across the globe.

Graphic Art for the new album
We are working together with a great graphic designer to create some great artwork for our new album and this artwork will also be featured on the Exclusive shirt
Music Video for the upcoming single “Embrace the Darkness”
Shot by Peter Kral - KRAL-Media&Design.
On the 20th of November this year, we shot a new music video, and we can tell you, it's going to be AWESOME. We can't give away too much, but we know you will be excited when its released.
What happens if the project is not fully funded?
Well, our minds are set to record this album either way. That's just how thrilled we are about our new work. It just sets us back a year or two.
Perks
We came up with 11 great ways to say THANK YOU. Ranging from a pre-release download of our new album, a signed copy of the album with a IndieGoGo EXCLUSIVE T-shirt, badges, Hooded Zippers, and full discography downloads.
And many, many more to come.
