On this day (June 14) in 2010, Swedish Death Metal icons, Grave released their ninth full-length studio album โBurial Groundโ via Regain Records.
Stylistically, โBurial Groundโ showcases band moving in the same direction as their previous release, โDominion VIIIโ, where Grave had stepped back to the band's old-school Death Metal roots. In 2010, Fredrik Isaksson left the lineup and was replaced by Dismember's Tobias Cristiansson.
Nile founder/guitarist Karl Sanders performed lead guitars on the song โBloodtrailโ.

Overview:
In 2010, Ola Lindgren, the founding and only constant member from Graveโs original line up, returned with one of the bands heaviest efforts since โBack from the Graveโ. โBurial Groundโ is yet another step back towards the bands classic Swedish Death Metal roots.
For those you who are not familiar with Grave, they are considered to be one of the "Big Four" of Swedish Death Metal, along with Dismember, Entombed and UNLEASHED. Many of which used the famously trademarked Tomas Skogsberg/Sunlight Studios "buzzsaw" guitar tone.
Now, I think you know exactly what to expect from โBurial Groundโ; gritty, buzzsaw-like guitar tones, โpit-of-hellโ guttural growls, and that thick, sludgy, crusty, decaying down-tuned Swedish Death Metal tone that began it all.
Grave is a band that is known for uncompromising ferocity, even as the band steered away from their roots. With โBurial Groundโ the band continues on where their previous release (Dominion VIII) left off; a return to their D-beat driven, rapid-fire, โleave no grave unturnedโ attitude. On songs like "Dismembered Mind," "Sexual Mutilation," and "Bloodtrail", Ola spews gruesome tales of unfettered, hellish torment. In a victorious return to form, โBurial Groundโ proves that Grave can still deliver unrestrained brutality. โ E.N. Wells
Noteworthy:
"Sexual Mutilation" is a a re-recording of a track from one of Graveโs earliest demo tapes.
