This past Friday, August 21, Swedish classic rock heroes, Graveyard, performed live at the Marshall London party at Berns in Stockholm, Sweden where the company introduced their brand new smartphone.

The band played a four song set including new tunes, “Magnetic Shunk” and the current single, “The Apple And The Tree'”. Eventually the band was joined on stage by guitar legend Slash (ex-Guns N' Roses,Velvet Revolver) for cover versions of Creedence Clearwater Revival's “Fortunate Son”, The Beatles' “Helter Skelter” and Black Sabbath's “Children Of The Grave”.

Graveyard will release their new album, Innocence & Decadence, on September 25th via Nuclear Blast Records. The rock band's fourth album, Innocence & Decadence was recorded live in the studio, directly to analog tape, with producer Johan Lindström and is the follow-up to Graveyard's 2012 release, Lights Out.

A new video for “The Apple And The Tree” can be seen below. Commented the band: "Somewhere between innocence & decadence is where you will find Graveyard. Hard at work trying to figure out which apples that will fall from what tree. Can you see us? We're that little hopeless case of a fly in denial - since forever stuck between the piles of shit that your ever repeating life keeps lining up for you."

Innocence & Decadence builds on the solid foundation and formidable reputation that Graveyard has cultivated since its formation in 2006, providing the most shining example to date of a sound the band calls "classic rock with a modern roll". The quartet describes the record as a blend of "everything from old 20's blues to krautrock with synthesizers, Irma Thomas, blast beats and psych rock."

“Just like life in general, it depends on what you choose to see and hear," said the band in a statement. "Innocence & Decadence is built on thousands of layers of love, fury and being alive in the year 2015.”

Innocence & Decadence will be released in various formats (vinyl look digipak, digital download, black/clear/splatter/orange/green/bi-coloured vinyl as well as a T-Shirt/CD bundle). Preorder your copy here.

Innocence & Decadence was recorded in Stockholm, Sweden at Atlantis Studios with Janne Hansson (Opeth, The Hives) and Johan Lindström (Tonbruket).

Commented the band: "Got a new album coming your way in September called Innocence & Decadence. It's gonna be an album filled to the rim with a little bit of this - and for all of those who might wonder or worry - there will be quite a lot of that on it as well. We've had a great time recording the album at the "gemytliga" Atlantis Studios in Stockholm together with Janne Hansson and Johan Lindström. And after kinda being away from our daily routine as a touring band and the thrill of a new album on its way... we wanna leave you with. Good to be gone, great to be back and let there be September!”
