- Complete their new album "As Rapture Comes" Release date: Europe July 24th, 2006 and US July 25, 2006. (Source: Century Media records May 5 2006)   |
|
Death metal legions of the world rejoice! A new, massive masterpiece by Sweden’s death metal cult-act GRAVE is coming your way. Entitled “As Rapture Comes” the new recording shall enrapture anyone who digs uncompromisingly extreme, heavy, groovy and gloomy death metal. Vocalist/guitarist Ola Lindgren comments the completion of the recording as follows: "The new album is finally completed. 9 tracks which can only be described as the most aggressive, evil and brutal stuff we have ever created both sound and song-wise. The album was recorded by ourselves at Studio Soulless and the final mix was made in the Abyss Studio with Peter Tägtgren. This one takes GRAVE into a new dimension while still staying true to our legacy of brutal, heavy death metal."“ As Rapture Comes”, which was completed following GRAVE’s successful European tour with label mates Cryptopsy and Aborted in February, will hit stores in Europe on July 24th, 2006 and July 25, 2006 in the US. Be ready for another GRAVE-styled Swedish death metal masterpiece, showcasing the band’s dynamic groove, more aggressive feel than ever before and it also contains a heavy remake of the Alice In Chains classic “Them Bones”. The displayed cover artwork for “As Rapture Comes” was designed by the Polish artist Jacek Wisnieswki, who hasn’t only worked with GRAVE on the previous “Back From The Grave” and “Fiendish Regression” albums, but who also created great images for releases by bands such as Krisiun, Vader, Decapitated and many more. Here is the full track-listing information for the coming release: GRAVE – “As Rapture Comes” CD 1. Intro - Day Of Reckoning (0:49) 2. Burn (6:24) 3. Through Eternity (3:45) 4. By Demons Bred (4:16) 5. Living The Dead Behind (6:26) 6. Unholy Terror (3:44) 7. Battle Of Eden (3:38) 8. Epic Obliteration (4:02) 9. Them Bones (2:32) 10.

| • New album finished ! After 3 weeks in Abyss studio the new album entitled FIENDISH REGRESSION is finally finished. 11 tracks were recorded including 9 brand new songs + a cover version of Saint Vitus classic "Burial at sea" and a re-recording of a old song named "Autopsied" which was originally written and recorded for promotion in 1989. The cooperation with Tommy and Peter Tägtgren really payed off and we are very satisfied with the result both song and soundwise. To say that the songs are brutal would be an understatement. The new blood of drummer Pelle Ekegren really shows through the whole album. Fast, heavy and brutal is the only way to describe it. European release through Century Media rec's is planned to late August. Ola & Grave May 17, 2004 |

• European tour cancelled The european tour that was planned for March and April 2003 has been cancelled due to problems with the bookings and scheduling of the tour. With only 3 weeks to go before the start of the tour we had not recieved what was agreed upon in terms of booked and confirmed shows. We feel that in such a situation we will rather wait until we can go on a full european tour and play for all of YOU rather than just a few selected countries and shows. We want YOU to know that Grave really wants to and will tour as soon as we get the opportunity to do a successful tour. Added March 25 2003 |
|
• US tour confirmed Grave has been confirmed for the first US tour since 1996. The tour will start in late May and run all through June.

• Original drummer leaves the band Jensa Paulsson, one of the original founders of Grave has now officially left the band due to work and family related issues. Chris (Cristofer Barkensjö) from Swedish deathmetal mates Kaamos will replace him permanently. Chris will still continue his duties in Kaamos as before. Chris is an excellent drummer and has been a friend of ours for a long time so we are very happy to welcome him in the band. He’s played 2 shows with the band already, in Åbo Finland and Gothenburg Sweden, filling the chair for Jensa. His first appearance as a member of Grave will be at the March Metal Meltdown in New Jersey. We also would like to thank Jensa for all the good years and good times and wish him the best of luck in the future. Added February 10 2003 |

• Update The releaseparty went really well. We managed to get a lot of our friends veeeery drunk. Portal and The Forsaken did great shows. We decided to do something special for this show so we all dressed up as on the photos of Back from the grave and we also consumed loads of blood. Photos from the show will be upped soon. Tons of interviews for the new album the past weeks. The response has been very satisfying since the majority of the press and radiostations like the new stuff and will give it very good reviews. Releasedate for the US set to January 28:th 2003. A full US tour is planned to start in the early spring of 2003. The European tour that was planned for November/December had to be pushed forward and will probably start in mid January. Added November 6 2002 |

• Release party The release party for the new album "Back from the grave" will be held at The Shrine club in Stockholm at Friday October 11. A listening session with food and drinks for specially invited press etc. will start off the evening. Doors will be opened later for the audience. Grave will of course perform live and have also invited deathmetallers Portal and labelmates The Forsaken to play. If you are in town that night, don't miss it.... Added September 13 2002 |

• New album completed The new GRAVE album was completed this week in Stockholm. It was recorded in Sunlight Studio like all of our previous albums. The mastering was also done here in Stockholm at Polar Studios. Century Media has scheduled the release to October. I will post some samples of a couple of new tracks for you to download shortly. The first release of the album will be a limited edition with a second Cd containing the 3 demos we did before getting signed. Added July 20 2002 |
|
• New release date The release of the new GRAVE album - Back from the Grave - has been moved forward due to the bands European tour which ended the 2:nd of June. The album was not completed as scheduled before the tour started and therefor the release will be in September instead of June which was the original plan. 9 songs are recorded and the mixing/mastering will be done in late June. Added June 9 2002 |
|
• Recording At March 3:rd GRAVE entered the studio to record their fifth full lenght studio album. The place to do it is of course once again the Sunlight Studio in Stockholm. Tomas Skogsberg is as usual taking care of engineering and producing the band. Nine tracks has been laid down and is currently in the works to be finalized within the next couple of weeks. The album will be entitled BACK FROM THE GRAVE Added March 23 2002 |
|
• New songs finished After the successful reuniongig at Machine Bar in Stockholm the band followed up with another live show in Gävle-Sweden at Club Wasteland. That show also went very well and got good response from the fans and magazines. The past months has mainly been rehearsals and writing new material. Up until now there are 8 new songs finished and a couple more in progress. The band will enter the studio in mid February. Once again the Sunlight studio will be used together with Tomas Skogsberg as producer. The new album has the working title - Back from the grave - which also is one of the new tracks. It will be released in June by Century Media records. I would describe the material as very hard and heavy. It picks up and continues where the Soulless album left off. Brutal stuff indeed, I promise... Added January 16 2002 |
|
• First gig with new lineup To keep you up to date here is a quick flashback. About two years ago we got a new bassplayer in the band. Freddan Isaksson has played in various Stockholm bands, most known would be Therion. The old bassplayer Jonas Torndal has joined the band again and now plays second guitar. 4 new songs are written and will be recorded this fall and possibly released. In the meantime we concentrate on writing more new stuff and do some gigs in Sweden (or anywhere else if you hook us up). At the 14:th of September GRAVE played a show at Machine Bar, a club located at the Hard Rock cafe in Stockholm and got a massive response. It was the first live show in a lot of years and the first ever with the new lineup. Added October 19 2001 |
