Lineup 2026

Grave are one of the founders of the Swedish Death / Doom Metal scene releasing their first demo, 'Sick Disgust Eternal', in 1987 following a name change from Corpse. Two further demos, 1988's 'Sexual Mutilation' and 1989's 'Anatomia Corporis Humanum' gained the band an enviable cult status. The latter demo was also to be issued as a four track EP. The band toured Europe as guests to Florida thrashers Malevolent Creation in September 1991 shortly followed by dates opening for Entombed.
In 1992 bassist Jonas Torndal quit and frontman Jörgen Sandström took over four string duties. Following the release of 1994's 'Soulless' Grave toured America in a headlining capacity prior to hooking up with the Cannibal Corpse and Samael tour as support. Further dates had the band putting in an appearance on the 'Full Of Hate' festivals and acting as openers for Morbid Angel. Following this bout of activity Sandström wound up joining Entombed in 1995. Grave persevered as a duo with Lindgren now responsible for vocals for the 1996 Tomas Skogsberg produced 'Hating Life' record.
