Swedish death metal veterans Grave have been around for more than 25 years, and frontman Ola Lindgren has stood tall amidst line-up changes and a brief hiatus to keep the band going, and stay more or less true to the old-school death metal style through which they initially gained popularity in the early 90s. Their latest album “Burial Ground” came out in late 2010, an album which perfectly exemplifies this musical style. Right before the band prepared to write material for the next album, they decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their debut album “Into The Grave” by playing it in its entirety first in Europe, and then in North America.
This North American tour was also the band’s first headlining tour in the continent after a long, long time. The touring party of Grave along with support bands Blood Red Throne, Pathology and Gigan made a visit to Hollywood’s Key Club recently, and before the show, I sat down with Ola at the adjacent Rainbow Bar & Grill to talk about this tour, the next album, his solo project and a few other things. Listen to the 8-minute conversation below, and check out the band’s facebook page for the latest info.
