Review: The first full length Grave album, and their best one in my mind. They were swedish death metal masters, playing furious tunes in the vein of early Entombed; just more basic, brutal and guttural. This album is definitely a death metal masterpiece, each and every song are standards. From "Into the grave" to "Extremely rotten flesh" this band's music is etched in my brain and will most certainly stay there until I die. Ultraheavy low-pitched guitar riffs of doom, severe midtempo drums, always tight as hell and totally guttural vocals from beyond the... grave!? Their style is so much simpler than Morbid Angel, Atheist and bands alike from this time, and yet so much more exciting! Dead-end brutality and swedish death metal rarely reached such excellence except for Entombed "Left hand path"... Everyone should know this classic!
Tracks: 1)Deformed
2)In love
3)For your god
4)Obscure infinity
5)Hating life
6)Into the grave

GRAVE "You'll Never See..." Cd |
|

 (Century Media)
Release date: 1992
Review: This second Grave cd is a little weaker, slower but still alot of fun. I just love it! Great basic catchy death metal, still outrageously heavy, but with more progressive song structures. They seem to follow Entombed example, on "Clandestine". But it's different, and hell it's really great. The great cover involves a living dead and a cemetary so I love it. The lyrics are also hysterical. One more classical death metal album here, you won't find any better album in the genre.
Tracks: 1)You'll never see...
2)Now and forever
3)Morbid way to die
4)Obsessed
5)Grief
6)Severing flesh
7)Brutally deceased
8)Christi(ns)anity |

GRAVE "You'll Never See..." Cd |
|

 (Century Media)
Release date: 1993
Review: Their third album, not my fave but this is still Grave's last decent offering. More progressive, and maybe more powerful, in Entombed "Wolverine Blues" vein... But mostly boring in the length. Some good kickass parts, coz hell! They're Grave. But some of the fun from their 2 first albums is gone I think. It's still better than average death metal, but it just lacks some energy.
Tracks: 1)Turning black 2)Soulless 3)I need you 4)Bullets are mine 5)Bloodshed 6)Judas 7)Unknown 8)And here I die 9)Genocide 10)Rain 11)Scars |
