GRAVE – As Rapture Comes delivers a vicious sonic assault, proving once again why they are one of Sweden’s most influential death metal bands. Released in 2006, this seventh full-length offering is a relentless barrage of mountain-levelling hooks, devastating low-end brutality, and groove-infused savagery.
Alongside Entombed, Dismember, and Unleashed, GRAVE are pioneers of the Swedish death metal sound, having remained steadfast in their dedication to morbid, down-tuned, and crushingly heavy compositions since their early days as Corpse (1986) before adopting the GRAVE moniker in 1988. Unlike many veterans of the genre who drifted from their roots, GRAVE have never strayed from their signature blend of groove and sheer sonic violence.
With As Rapture Comes, the band continues their genre-defining legacy, delivering a collection of tracks that are as catchy as they are brutally punishing. A must-have for old-school death metal fanatics and those who crave the raw, unfiltered intensity of Swedish death metal’s golden era
