GRAVEYARD: PEACE

"Peace" De Résistance

Since 2015's "Innocence and Decadence" (which made my 2015 top ten list), Graveyard has broken up for good, citing "differences within the band", then has gotten back together and released yet another classic album.  Drummer Axel Sjöberg has been replaced by Oskar Bergenheim, and  Graveyard's fifth album is as great as I had hoped.  Graveyard has managed to put their own unique stamp on the blues, something which is increasingly hard to do after decades upon decades of bands attempting to do just that.  Graveyard manages to sound retro without sounding specifically like anyone from the past, and has a sound that is both clean and gritty, mellow and heavy.  

Every tune is strong on this album, so I will post the two with official videos.   Here is 

"The Fox":

And now "Please Don't":

"Peace" is clearly available from Nuclear Blast records, but I have to point out that if you order the vinyl or CD from Amazon, you get to download the digital version on the spot, and listen to it while you wait for the physical album to arrive.  This is something you cannot do yet if you order directly through Nuclear Blast.

Graveyard is a lock for the Stoner Rock Hall of Fame, when such a thing ever materializes, and each of their albums deserves your attention if you are a fan of the genre.  

Graveyard are from Gothenburg, Sweden, and are:

Joakim Nilsson – Guitar & Vocals
Jonathan Ramm – Guitar
Truls Mörck – Bass
Oskar Bergenheim - Drums

More next weekend!!
