Two weeks ago, Swedish rockers GRAVEYARD released their acclaimed new album, 6, through Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band is pleased to announce a couple of live shows on German soil in February 2024 as well as an appearance at Dutch festival, Into The Void, that will serve as the first leg of a 2024 European tour. Unique progressive psychedelic rock band, fellow Swedes and label mates, GAUPA, will be supporting GRAVEYARD on these dates. All dates are listed below.
GRAVEYARD commented: “Who are we? What are we? Where do we belong? All tricky questions but we think we got the answer. We’re Graveyard, your favourite bluesy rock n roll band and we belong on the road. That’s why we decided to team up with Swedish band Gaupa and book a sweet n tiny little European tour for spring 2024. Catch us in the following cities in February… “

Today GRAVEYARD release their brand new album 6 via Nuclear Blast Records. 6 is easily identifiable as the most striking, original album of GRAVEYARD’s story so far. A gently lysergic blend of desolate guitars, simmering Hammond and lithe, nimble bass and drums, the Swedes demonstrate a lightness of touch that they have only hinted at in the past. To coincide with the albums release, the band have also revealed a visualiser for the track ‘Bright Lights’.
The band comments ”It took its not always so sweet time, but the day for 6 to be released is finally here. Now let it spin”

About GRAVEYARD
As enduring and authentic as an old school leather jacket, GRAVEYARD have long since mastered the art of rock’n’roll. Formed in 2006 in Gothenburg, Sweden, their shared passion for hard rock, psychedelia and the eternal bedrock of blues marked them out from the start. Led by vocalist/guitarist Joakim Nilsson, they opened their account with their now seminal self-titled Tee Pee Recordings debut in 2007, showcasing fiery chemistry and some wildly imaginative songwriting. Subsequently snapped up by the mighty Nuclear Blast Records, the band’s rise to prominence was swift and irresistible.
In 2008, guitarist Jonatan Ramm expanded the ranks, joining Nilsson, bassist Rikard Edlund and drummer Axel Sjöberg for the recording of second album Hisingen Blues. A critical smash that more than lived up to the hype, it established GRAVEYARD as rock’n’roll heavyweights. A thunderous, soul-stirring live band, with subtlety and swagger in equal amounts, they spent the next decade keeping fans of loose-limbed and earthy rock music in a near-constant state of rapture. From the rootsy clatter of 2012’s Lights Out to the magical, muscular grooves of 2018’s Peace (taking in the sepia-tinted folk doom of 2015’s Innocence & Decadence along the way), GRAVEYARD have made some of the most vital and vivid heavy rock of the 21st century.
Swedish blues rock institution GRAVEYARD have released a new single titled ‘Breathe In, Breathe Out’, the second single from their upcoming album 6, that’s set to be released on September 29th via Nuclear Blast Records.
The band comments “Our 2nd single from the upcoming album 6 is rolling in like a fresh breeze from the west coast for all of you to enjoy. We are happy and thrilled about it, hope you will feel the same”
