![]() ![]() ![]() I always wanted to play Japan, Brazil, a little bit more of Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, where my cousin lives. On official Facebook page Joakim Nilsson announced that Graveyard is working on dates for worldwide tour: "We're excited to visit new place, where we haven't been before. In September 2015, through Nuclear Blast the band released Innocence & Decadence full-length album. In October 2014 the band announced that bass player and co-founder Rikard Edlund was leaving the band to "pursue other musical ventures". In 2013 they toured Europe with grunge band Soundgarden. A third album entitled Lights Out followed the next year. Graveyard released their second album Hisengen Blues in spring of 2011. In 2009 they toured with the rock band CKY. In the Fall of 2008 Graveyard toured with Witchcraft and then Clutch. After SXSW, Graveyard toured with label mates Witch. ![]() Graveyard was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine's Fricke's Picks for their first ever US gig at SXSW. Graveyard performed at the 2008's South by Southwest Music Festival. The debut album received generally good reviews. On the recording sessions' completion, Truls Mörck was replaced by guitarist Jonatan Ramm. Their self-titled debut album was recorded by Don Ahlsterberg and released in early 2008. Songs from the band's Myspace caught the ear of Tony Presedo, founder of Tee Pee Records. In the meantime, they posted a demo of some of their material on MySpace. Upon their initial formation, Graveyard quickly recorded a two track demo, played a total of three shows, and began planning for a full-length album with Swedish label, Transubstans Records. Together with Sjöberg and guitarist/singer Truls Mörck they began practicing as Graveyard. We also wanted a more straightforward sound.” Rikard played guitar but he is a bass player. Nilsson explains, “I am a singer, but in Albatross I only played guitar. When Albatross broke up, Nilsson and Edlund decided that for their next venture, they would head back towards their roots as musicians and songwriters. Initially they considered Albatross a hobby project, but after five years the members began taking their music more seriously and had grown dissatisfied with the direction their sound had taken. When Norrsken disbanded in 2000, guitarist Magnus Pelander went on to form doomy folk metal act Witchcraft and Nilsson and Edlund joined Albatross, a growly blues rock band whose lineup also included Sjöberg on drums. Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund (both formerly of Norrsken), Axel Sjöberg, and Truls Mörck formed Graveyard in 2006. ![]()
