Swedish classic rock connoisseurs GRAVEYARD have released the official music video for the first single, ‘Please Don’t’, off their eagerly anticipated upcoming comeback album, “Peace”.
Commented the band: ”As you may know, we’ve been doing some traveling lately. In many ways and on many levels. The good thing is that we brought back a few things for you all. Here’s a first souvenir from the road to PEACE.”
The album is now available for pre-order in various formats. The Nuclear Blast Mailorder edition will feature the CD as well as a red 7″ vinyl containing 2 exclusive and previously unreleased non-album tracks (‘Headache City’ & ‘Something Else’). Aside of that the album will be available as digipack CD as well as on black, yellow, mint, beige and clear vinyl.
Classic rockers GRAVEYARD have entered Park Studios in Stockholm to record their yet untitled album that is scheduled for release late spring/early summer in 2018, via Nuclear Blast. The album is produced by Chips Kiesbye (THE HELLACOPTERS, MICHAEL MONROE, THE NOMADS) and engineered by Stefan Boman (BURT BACHARACH, ALICE COOPER, DEF LEPPARD & KENT to name a few).
After a week of recording the band have got the following words of wisdom to say about the upcoming album and the ongoing process: “It’s great to be back in the studio and laying down the basic tracks have been nothing but sheer joy. This time around we’ve got more than enough songs to fill up an album and as always the really fun and thrilling part will be to see how the recording will treat each song from rehearsals to finished mix. With that said the obvious goal is to continue our walk down GRAVEYARD’s left hand album path with yet another album filled with all killers and no fillers. We’re up for a promising start here in the studio and we can’t wait to let all of you be the judge of how you think we did. All for now back to recording.”
Swedish grandmasters of classic rock, GRAVEYARD, have launched a fan competition for their current single and music video, ‘The Apple And The Tree’.
The song marks the first single to come off the band’s fourth full-length album, “Innocence & Decadence”, which is due on September 25, 2015 worldwide via Nuclear Blast.
See the competition instructions below:
COMPETITION TIME – your side of the Apple hang out with GRAVEYARD.
“Weekend is coming up and this time around it’s competition time!!
The purpose behind this competition is that we want you to give us your quick or long analysis of the story for the ‘The Apple And The Tree’ video. We simply want to put you to the test and see if that weekend fever might activate some right side of your brain activity.
To be a part of this once in a lifetime opportunity you will have to do the following.
1. Share the video for ‘The Apple And The Tree’ (https://youtu.be/HqVGfMcRNhY) to all your friends here on Facebook
2. When sharing the video we want you to tell your friends in writing what you believe is the story & purpose behind the somewhat fucked up plot in the video. Is it simply the fun of someone digging in cow shit for 8 hours? Was it a dream that one of us had? You just go ahead and tell the world and us.
To win this competition we want interpretations of what the video might mean. Not our interpretation – YOURS (which might be the same as ours) So hit us with the best, funniest, most stupid etc explanation of what the video might mean and we’ll reward one of you with a grand price.
3. To be apart of this competition we need to be able to see your analysis (and amounts of likes) in your share – so make sure that your privacy settings are set to PUBLIC while the competition is still running. Also please add the hashtag #graveyardapplevideo
Competition starts today, Friday, September 11 and ends on Sunday, September 20. The winner will be announced by us via our Facebook profile on Thursday, September 24 – shortly before the release of our new album, “Innocence & Decadence”.

Commented the band: “Somewhere between innocence & decadence is where you will find GRAVEYARD. Hard at work trying to figure out which apples that will fall from what tree. Can you see us? We’re that little hopeless case of a fly in denial – since forever stuck between the piles of shit that your ever repeating life keeps lining up for you.”

Commented the band: “Got a new album coming your way in September called »Innocence & Decadence«. It’s gonna be an album filled to the rim with a little bit of this – and for all of those who might wonder or worry – there will be quite a lot of that on it as well. We’ve had a great time recording the album at the “gemytliga” Atlantis Studios in Stockholm together with Janne Hansson and Johan Lindström. And after kinda being away from our daily routine as a touring band and the thrill of a new album on its way ….. we wanna leave you with. Good to be gone, great to be back and let there be September!“ – Axel, Joakim, Jonathan & Truls aka GRAVEYARD
