Graveyard Announce Return and Lineup Change

graveyard

It was just over four months ago that Swedish heavy rock magnates Graveyard disbanded. Signed to Nuclear Blast and set for a slew of autumn dates, they pulled the plug on headlining Desertfest Belgium 2016 and all their other appearances, set 2015’s Innocence and Decadence (review here), their fourth album, as their last one, and the lineup of guitarist/vocalist Joakim Nilsson, guitarist Jonathan Ramm, bassist Truls Mörck and drummer Axel Sjöberg seemed set to go their own ways in still-to-be-determined directions.

Well, Graveyard are back. They posted the note that appears in the image and is transcribed below on Thee Facebooks announcing their return and intention to move forward without Sjöberg on drums — not a minor change, as anyone who’s ever seen the band live can tell you — and plans for new material, shows, and all that kind of being a band stuff. One imagines Nuclear Blast will welcome them back with open arms. It hadn’t been half a year yet. Depending on how long it takes them to nail down a drummer, they could probably pick up the album cycle where they left off in supporting Innocence and Decadence and putting together their next release.

Here’s what they had to say:

A new day rising.

Living isn’t always easy and playing in a band doesn’t tend to make the noble art of living well any easier. Things weren’t working and in the end a change in the line-up was the only option for our return. Graveyard’s journey will continue with a yet to be named new future drummer and the reasons behind this change of scenery is something that we don’t want, wish or will comment. We’re gonna leave it be with Axel’s own words: “Word on the street is that there is a job opening in the drummers section.” We wish Axel all the best and you can follow his next move with his already set to fly new outfit BIG KIZZ.

We’d also like to apologize to each and everyone of you out there for putting you through these uncertain Graveyard times. With that said we’re beyond glad to announce that as of today the Graveyard is officially re-opened for business. Albums will be recorded, shows will be played and all of this hopefully for a long, long time to come.

Let’s shine on!
