Grave - Morbid Ascent

1988 was the birth year for Skrillex, Rihanna but also it was the year when Grave – previous Corpse – created delightful death symphonies with the release of their first demo, ”Sick disgust eternal”, which was similar to the brutality Nihilist and Carnage put together in Stockholm at the same time. Grave – together with Entombed, Dismember and Unleashed – has since then marched in the forefront of what would be called Swedish death metal and worshipped by metal heads all over the world.

Last week on August 26 did Grave’ release the new EP  ”Morbid ascent” (Century Media). The fact is that Grave also celebrates 25 years as a band, and this is worth honouring to say the least! On Friday September 6 (Today, This Evening) the mighty Grave – Ola Lindgren (vocals and guitar), Ronnie Bergerstål (drums, ex-Centinex), Tobias Cristiansson (bass, ex-Dismember) and Mika Lagrén (guitar, Facebreaker) – will perform songs from all their albums, as well as a handful of demo songs and other goodies from their career, at Debaser Medis in Stockholm. This is probably one of those gigs you want to be able to tell the grandkids about!"

Just some info about our merch that will be available on the Stockholm gig this friday.
New shirt design limited to 100 pieces, the new EP "Morbid Ascent" of course and then this little gem. Reissue of our first 7" "Tremendous Pain" which was originally released in 1991. Needless to say, bring cash for all the goodies..

Will be sold for 666 sek on the 6th of september at the anniversary show in Stockholm. For this evening we will only be able to offer 10 - 15 rings since they are handmade so these will be very exclusive for that night.

So, todays tune "Morbid Ascent" is the title track from the new EP.

Ghost - Here Comes The Sun

Ghost is a Swedish heavy metal band formed 2008. The band was hyped up in 2010 partly because of members' choice to appear behind the masks without giving their identities. The group claims to be sent by the devil to the commercially viable rock collecting souls for him. The debut "Opus Eponymous" was nominated for a Grammy in 2011 in the category hard rock.

Ghost is booked for the Getaway Rock Festival, Sweden Rock, Metal Town, and Roskilde festival in summer 2011.

Rumors claim that the members should be established persons in Stockholm death/black metal scene, who they are we leave unsaid. :)

On Friday the 13th it was time for me and my friend to witness "Ghost" Live when they did visit the Strand here in Stockholm together with In Solitude and Stench.

Devil himself must have had a finger or two when Ghost was created, with their down-smoked legacy of seventies Black Sabbath and classic doom metal.

They messes for their new initiates fans, like a pope in the church and that this is a dark well-played manifesto for an hour is no doubt. They played the new album and included the bonus tune from the latest record, the Beatles’ cover "Here Comes The Sun" and ends with the entire body of Christ.

Both me and my friend are happy with Ghost’s effort at the Strand and we are trying to get out from the explosive-filled concert hall with a smile placed higher than usual. We run into some known faces like Leif Edling (Candlemass) and David Isberg (Opeth), we are told the guys in the Ghost has been living in the rehearsal studio for three weeks before this gig, that this would become such a good gig as possible.

Here is some pictures from the gig!

Todays tune ”Here Comes The Sun” (Beatles cover) is the Bonus track from the album ”Opus Eponymous”



Live at the Strand, May 13, 2011
