Swedish death metal legends GRAVE celebrated 25 years as a band last night (September 6th) at Debaser Medis in Stockholm.

1988 was the year when Grave (previously CORPSE) created delightful death symphonies with the release of their first demo, Sick Disgust Eternal, which was similar to the brutality of NIHILIST and CARNAGE put together in Stockholm at the same time. Grave – together with ENTOMBED, DISMEMBER and UNLEASHED – has since then marched in the forefront of what would be called Swedish death metal and worshipped by metal heads all over the world.

Grave – Ola Lindgren (vocals and guitar), Ronnie Bergerstål (drums, ex-CENTINEX), Tobias Cristiansson (bass, ex-Dismember) and Mika Lagrén (guitar, FACEBREAKER) – performed songs from all their albums, as well as a handful of demo songs and other goodies from their career.

Grave also celebrated by offering up the official Grave anniversary ring that was only sold at the 25th anniversary show!

After the event the band remarked: "Huuuuge thanks to each and every one of you who showed up to the anniversary gig last night. We had a kickass time entertaining you although a set this long takes it's toll on an old man hehe.. We played one track from all of our releases starting with the Sick, Disgust, Eternal demo up 'til todays most recent release Morbid Ascent."
