Graveyard

hard rock, stoner rock, death metal, blues rock, psychedelic rock

Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund (both formerly of Norrsken), Axel Sjoberg, and Truls Morck formed Graveyard in 2006. When Norrsken disbanded in 2000, guitarist Magnus Pelander went on to form doomy folk metal act Witchcraft and Nilsson and Edlund joined Albatros, a growly blues rock band whose lineup also included Sjoberg on drums. Initially they considered Albatros to be a hobby, but five years later, the members began taking their music more seriously and had grown dissatisfied with the direction their sound had taken.
