Grave: Into the Early Grave

Back to the early 1990s again. This time we're discuss seminal Swedish Death Metal act, Grave. Formed in 1986 as Corpse, then changed to the equally necrotic moniker Putrefaction, then finalizing as Grave in 1988. Often lumped into the Stockholm scene, Grave arose from Visby, a town on the island of Gotland just off the eastern coast of Sweden. This relative isolation is reflected in their sound, which was much more brutal and heavy (in a sonic sense). The trademarks of their sound was ultra-downtuned guitars and guttural vocals. More akin to American death metal than their Swedish peers. This episode we go through their early catalog, or their "classic" lineup consisting of Ola Lindgren, Jens "Jensa" Paulsson, and Jörgen Sandström. Their later output is quite good as well (with exception of the Hating Life LP), which we may explore in a future show.
