1497 - Grave Deformed 1991

The world was shocked in the early 90’s with the awakening of the Swedish death metal scene. The glorious movement that would change the whole subgenre and influence a whole next generation, just like Possessed, Kreator, Sepultura, Destruction or Death did way back in the middle 80’s. Grave was one of those killer bands that were part of that wave, formed by 4 young angry guys with rage, talent and ambition. On their debut release "Into the Grae", each song is a violent exhibition of killer riffs, some raw and incredibly fast, other much weighty and slow. The band alternates fierce velocity with calmed mid-paced tempos during most of the compositions. “Deformed” is merciless, bestial and harsh to the extreme; the double bass-drum rhythms and the rampant riffing series are superb, along with the sinister vocals in a majestic display of incendiary death metal.
