Graveyard formed in 2006 in Gothenburg, Sweden, founded by Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund, Axel Sjöberg, and Truls Mörck. Their initial shared passion for hard rock, psychedelia, and blues established their distinctive sound from the outset. Nilsson, who was previously a guitarist in Albatross, transitioned to vocals and guitar, while Edlund, originally a guitarist, took on bass duties. The band quickly recorded a two-track demo, played early shows, and began planning their debut album with Transubstans Records. Their material on MySpace garnered attention from Tee Pee Records, leading to their self-titled debut album in 2007, which received positive critical reception. Guitarist Jonatan Ramm joined the band following the recording sessions, replacing Truls Mörck in the initial lineup.
The band’s rise in prominence escalated following their signing with Nuclear Blast Records. In 2011, they released their second album, “Hisingen Blues,” which was a critical and commercial success, topping the Swedish charts. This album solidified Graveyard’s reputation as a significant hard rock act. They continued to release albums, including “Lights Out” in 2012, which reached number 3 on the Swedish charts, and “Innocence & Decadence” in 2015, peaking at number 2. Throughout this period, Graveyard maintained a touring schedule, performing at events like the South by Southwest Music Festival in 2008 and touring with bands such as Witch, Witchcraft, Clutch, and CKY. In 2013, they toured Europe with Soundgarden.
After a brief hiatus in 2016, the band reformed in 2017 with a new drummer, Oskar Bergenheim, and Truls Mörck returning on bass, forming the current lineup alongside Nilsson and Ramm. Their 2018 album, “Peace,” reached number 1 on the Swedish charts, further demonstrating their enduring appeal. In 2023, Graveyard released their sixth studio album, “6,” which marked a more introspective and blues-infused direction, reflective of evolving musical inspirations. This album also reached number 14 on the Swedish charts. Graveyard continues to perform and record, maintaining their commitment to authentic rock and roll.
