Grave: Swedish Death Metal Titans
Grave is a legendary death metal band from Visby, Sweden, and a cornerstone of the genre’s early 1990s evolution. Formed in 1986 under the name Corpse before adopting their iconic moniker, Grave was part of the first wave of Swedish death metal alongside acts like Entombed and Dismember. Known for their crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and ominous atmospheres, the band’s debut album Into the Grave (1991) is hailed as a genre classic.
