Don't think I've listened of anything by Grave aside from Into The Grave and some of their demos. Not sure why, I really like old school Swededeath, and Into The Grave is a darn good album. Gonna keep an eye out for this for sure.

I'm amazed that they still churn out quality releases year after year. I mean seriously its quite hard to find a single weak album in their catalog. And this album is equally great, catchy, and powerful. 9/10

Ditto! But I wouldn't go with a 9/10 even though I think it's their strongest album in regards of songwriting and production as of yet.
hmmm..."...hints of soloing scattered throughout the album..." might be a bit of an understatement and what I really dig about the new album is the a) "Evil Chuck" influence thru out and b) the thrashiness that can't be denied.

I suppose I worded that poorly, what I meant was the solos aren't prolonged. I appreciate the brevity and all and I know they aren't here to compete with the likes of Obscura in terms of technicality, but little five second solos here and there doesn't really rev my engine.

Good old grave still putting out awesome albums all the fucking time, just love their brand of death! solid album to say the least.

I just got finished listening to this one, Troy. Even though Decibel praised it, I can't help but think that this is just a solid album at best. Eros was pretty good, but that's about as good as it got. Sadly, the new Revolting isn't much better, but I'd put it well above this Grave disc.

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of well-known zines praised this - it's a big name death metal band that has a fairly big following due to some early classics back in the '90s and a lot of people lose their shit over veteran bands repeating themselves for some reason. I dunno, I think their contemporary stuff is a big step down from what they were doing when they started and this album is just another by-the-numbers release that, while far from bad, just isn't worth praising.

You're right

ah ok, I wasn´t finding anything about new album on the net and as I saw that you had already done a review, so I wondered how you heard the new album.
But it´s ok, I already got to hear the album and I really liked the song called Epos.

Nevertheless the album is wonderful. The thing I would like to admit is the originality of the expressed ideas leaves much to be desired.. it would be more surprising to listen to something new and novative. However 7 out of 10, in my opinion.

This is a blast! Listening to grave for years...no disappointment here, just pure death metal!

I have all of Grave's albums, so I definitely need to pick this one up as well.

This is their best work since Soulless. I think it's a truly solid album!

Am seeing them live tonight also...bring it!

Totally excellent,their best release since 'You'll never See',cant stop playing it!
