...and here I die...satisfied | CD | Grave

GRAVE, one of the oldest Swedish death metal bands, has developed a sound and style that has inspired a number of extreme metal bands. The band started in 1986 under the name Corpse and changed it to Grave in 1988. The band was founded by singer and guitarist Ola Lindgren, Jörgen Sandström (ex-Entombed, ex-Candlemass (live), The Project Hate MCMXCIX) on vocals and guitar, and drummer Jens 'Jensa' Paulsson. The band had particular success in the early 1990s, and their first four albums, 'Into the Grave,' 'You'll Never See...,' 'Soulless,' and 'Hating Life,' solidified their reputation as one of the leading Swedish death metal bands. In late 1993, GRAVE released '...And Here I Die...Satisfied,' a Limited Edition EP featuring brand new, rare, and remixed tracks that encompassed the band's entire history. The EP was supposed to mark the end of an era for the band and paved the way for the release of the long-awaited third album by the trio. The complete booklet was redesigned by RA Design (Possessed, Vio-Lence, Varathron) and includes an interview by Pim Blankenstein with singer/guitarist Jörgen Sandström. Cover art by Axel Hermann (Asphyx, Morgoth, Unleashed).
