About

Grave is a Death Metal band from Visby, Sweden. One of the longest-running Swedish death metal bands, Grave has created a sound and style which has been an inspiration on a number of the genre's more promising younger outfits. Having started out as a band called Corpse in 1986, they released loads of demos before their legendary 1991 debut Into the Grave. "Into the Grave" established Grave as one of death metal's most brutal new hopes, and its release was ensued by a host of live performances across Europe and America. 1992's You'll Never See, the band's critically-acclaimed second release, showcased their growing musical talent with a cleaner, stronger sound which appealed to a wider audience while retaining the group's trademark heaviness. Unfortunately, it was also the first album without the bassist Jonas, who'd left Grave several months earlier as a result of his increasing dislike for the touring lifestyle. After unsuccessfully trying to fill the slot, the group made a collective decision to revert to their original three-man line-up, with the guitarist Jörgen Sandström switching to bass. In the late 1993, Grave released ...And Here I Die...Satisfied, a limited edition EP featuring brand new, rare and remixed tracks encompassing the band's entire recording history. The EP paved the way for the release of the trio's long-awaited third full-length offering. Soulless was recorded during the early part of 1994 at Stockholm's Sunlight Studios (just as all of the group's previous releases had been) with the producer Tomas Skogsberg.
