Grave (band)

Grave is a Swedish death metal band that was formed in 1988 by vocalist and guitarist Ola Lindgren who is their only constant member.

Along with Dismember, Entombed and Unleashed, Grave is considered one of the "big four" of Swedish death metal.

However, bassist Jonas Torndal left the band as a result of his increasing dislike for touring.

After unsuccessfully trying to find a replacement, the group made a decision to become a trio, with guitarist Jörgen Sandström switching to bass.

Two years later in 2006, As Rapture Comes was released, further increasing the overall speed and aggression of the band's musical style.

In support of the album the band toured with Dismember, Vital Remains, Demiricous, and Withered through the US and Canada.

[5] Titled Endless Procession of Souls, it was released on 27 August 2012, in Europe and in North America on the next day.

[8] On 1 December 2017, Grave announced their split with their drummer for eleven years Ronnie Bergerståhl;[9] six months later, the band hired Tomas Lagrén as his replacement.

In August 2024, the original line-up of Jorgen Sandström, Jens Paulsson and Jonas Torndal returned to perform their first three albums at Party.San Metal Open Air 2025.
