Album Review: Grave - Out Of Respect For The Dead

There's one word that best describes death metal OGs Grave: dependable.

Main man Ola Lindgren and his crew of hired hands haven't thrown a sonic curveball since the death'n'roll rumblings of Soulless in 1994. Accordingly album number 11 brings the raw guttural death metal goodness the Swedes are renowned for. Charming ditties like Redeemed Through Hate, Plain Pine Box and Grotesque Glory will one day be put in a museum as shining examples of the traditional Swedish death metal sound. The world changes: but Grave don't. And thank goodness for that.
