Swedish death metal veterans GRAVE will release their 10th studio album, “Endless Procession Of Souls”, on August 27 in Europe via Century Media Records. The cover artwork for the CD was once again created by Costin Chioreanu, who also worked with GRAVE on the previous two studio albums. In addition to designing the cover artwork, Costin was responsible for some of the extra art for the inside of the CD booklet and the vinyl.

“Endless Procession Of Souls” was recorded at GRAVE’s own Studio Soulless and was previously described by GRAVE guitarist/vocalist Ola Lindgren as “a mix of our latest two releases with some more old-school, groovy ‘Soulless’ parts.”

According to a press release, “Endless Procession Of Souls” “promises to be yet another death metal masterpiece in GRAVE’s revered catalog, featuring nine tracks of uncompromising no-bullshit death metal, flawlessly executed by the sole survivors of the real legendary Swedish Dödsmetal scene. ‘Endless Procession Of Souls’ combines the brutality of GRAVE’s last two studio albums with the groove of ‘Soulless’ and — of corpse — a lethal dose of ‘Into The Grave’ darkness.”

“Endless Procession Of Souls” track listing:

01. Dystopia
02. Amongst Marble And The Dead
03. Disembodied Steps
04. Flesh Epistle
05. Passion Of The Weak
06. Winds Of Chains

GRAVE — who just completed a tour of South America — will hit the road in Europe again in September with Century Media labelmates SONNE ADAM. This will be followed by GRAVE’s trip across the Atlantic where they will join forces with MORBID ANGEL and DARK FUNERAL for a North American tour.

GRAVE recently parted ways with its guitarist of three years, Magnus Martinsson.

GRAVE’s current lineup is as follows:

Ola Lindgren – Guitar/Vocals
Mika Lagrén – Guitar
Ronnie Bergerstål – Drums
Tobias Cristiansson – Bass

GRAVE’s November 12, 2011 concert at Club Distortion/Kulturhuset in Stockholm, Sweden was filmed for future release. The band celebrated the 20th anniversary of its classic 1991 debut album, “Into The Grave”, by performing the LP in its entirety, along with “another handful classic tunes.”

GRAVE in September 2011 completed a North American headlining tour with support from BLOOD RED THRONE, PATHOLOGY and GIGAN.
