Two DeBaser reviews praise Grayceon’s cello-driven, bass-free progressive/post-metal. The self-titled debut leans on long, melancholic pieces led by electric cello. All We Destroy (2011) blends prog rock, folk, post‑metal and touches of doom/metalcore, including a 17‑minute suite. Performances highlight precise drumming, dynamic guitars, and Jackie Perez Gratz’s versatile vocals.
