Gothenburg’s very own rockers Graveyard have always demonstrated an ardent devotion to heavy psych rock and the magnetic brand new opus “Fever” reconfirms their influential status with electrifying grooves and captivating vintage splendor.
The album opener “Back From The Grave” doesn’t waste any time and clearly reveals an energetic approach that would never need any special effects favoring raw heavily distorted tonalities through the monolithic guitar riffs and the consequent abrasive rhythmic patterns.
On “Tongue Tied” the colossal galloping rhythmic section takes the center stage focusing on significantly heavy dynamics with doom laden riffage and tasteful guitar leads perfectly complemented by a wild vocal performance.
“A Better Cut (Note To Self)” aptly maintains a feverish rhythmic structure certainly enhanced by the gritty guitar tones and the super fuzzy phrases while the fervent vocals can also express nostalgic feelings.
“Year Of The Horse” immediately stands out for the meaningful rhythmic blasts following a high-velocity trajectory as obsessive guitars deliver a constant fuzzed out riffage until elegant warm melodies create a brief yet deeply sorrowful breakdown.
“Dead Note” spreads immense melancholia through mellow vocals and bluesy slow burning harmonies but guitars continue to push the fuzz pedal hard and spontaneously reach a glorious groovy momentum culminating with an extensive hypnotizing solo.
Graveyard naturally convey the inflamed spirit of timeless heavy rock fully embracing a no frills impactful composition with an authentic retro sound giving life to the irresistible groovy soundscapes of “Fever”.
