The band during the Into the Grave era.
One of the big four of Swedish Death Metal, along with Entombed, Dismember, and Unleashed, Grave was founded by singer/guitarist Ola Lindgren in 1986. Generally favoring a Three Chords and the Truth approach instead of a more technical sound (with some slight digressions into Doom and Industrial territory) Grave has been going strong for over three decades, and shows no signs of stopping yet.Discography:
- Into the Grave (1991)
- You'll Never See… (1992)
- Soulless (1994)
- Hating Life (1996)
- Back from the Grave (2002)
- Fiendish Regression (2004)
- As Rapture Comes (2006)
- Dominion VIII (2008)
- Burial Ground (2010)
- Endless Procession of Souls (2012)
- Out of Respect for the Dead (2015)
Endless procession of tropes:
- Cover Version: Has covered "Them Bones" by Alice in Chains
- Power Trio: Started as one, and briefly became one after Into the Grave, since original bassist Jonas Torndal left.
- New Sound Album: Soulless, which displayed more of a Doom Metal sound .
- Gorn: Generally a bit more subtle about it than most Death Metal bands, but they do delve into it on songs like Severing Flesh, Brutally Deceased, and Deformed.
