8th album release by Sweden's long lost death metal sons GRAVE! Their lethal formula is all here: very down tuned distorted guitars, guttural death gurgles and a generally raw, evil atmosphere presiding over everything. All these essential elements are here once again as Grave rises from the tomb to show the young folk how Death Metal should be done. Unlike previous Grave albums however, Burial Ground contains much more variation in pacing and tempo than past works, blending speed oriented, thrashing moments with grinding sludge doom and mid paced interludes on a level previously unforeseen. Grave makes this really work to their advantage to keep the listener off balance, shake things up and keep things interesting. Grave have returned with a real humdinger of a death metal opus with Burial Ground. They maintain every aspect of their beloved core sound, yet managed to expand its parameters in a way that only adds to the mood and heaviness. This is death metal as it should be done and one of their best works over a long and storied career! Caution to those expecting a 100 mile-per-hour, raucous and chaotic barnburner of a death metal album. This is a different but very brutal animal. However, if you like very dark, bleak, evil death metal done the old school way, then Grave is definitely selling what you should be buying. Dig this up!
