NUCLEAR BLAST has issued the following:

Classic rock outfit GRAVEYARD is nominated for the best album of the year with ”Hisingen Blues“ by Classic Rock magazine’s Roll Of Honour!

To let the band and their masterpiece receive this well-deserved award, please participate in the voting HERE!

Furthermore, the re-release of their debut ”Graveyard“ is available since last Friday.

Seeing the big success of their second record “Hisingen Blues”, the band as well as the label decided to re-issue their stunning and nowadays hard-to-find self-titled debut album which gained a lot of attention in the underground on its initial release back in 2007. The album contains all tracks of the original release also featuring the original sound to experience the true and pure essence of GRAVEYARD – even a bit rawer than what you know from their current masterpiece “Hisingen Blues”.

Get the record via the Nuclear Blast online shop or as an iTunes download with an exclusive bonus track and a digital booklet: http://bit.ly/graveyarditunes

Graveyard’s ‘Hisingen’ Outsells Britney Spears’ New Album In Sweden

“Hisingen Blues”, the second full-length album from the Gothenburg, Sweden-based psychedelic doom rock band GRAVEYARD, has entered the official chart in the group’s home country at position No. 1. The CD, which will be released in North America on April 19 via Nuclear Blast Records, was produced, recorded, and mixed in 100 percent analog by Don Alsterberg (JOSÉ GONZALES, JUNIP, SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES, THE INTERNATIONAL NOISE CONSPIRACY) at Don Pierre Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The band shares details about the album artist, Ulf Lundén: “We wanted a cover that wasn’t your average rock/metal cover, and our friend Ulf Lundén was just the right guy to do it. We had seen his work for his own band, BOMBUS, and we knew he had a wild imagination. So we just let him loose. He put us up against the green screen, took his photos and that was that. A couple of weeks later, he showed us what he had done. We were astonished by his work, a perfectionist indeed. We got what we asked for, a cover that isn’t average. Rich with details, swamp/jungle feeling, weirdness and a lurking evil feel to it.”

A limited-edition seven-inch picture disc of the title track, “Hisingen Blues”, backed with the exclusive vinyl track “Granny And Davis” and featuring different artwork was released through Nuclear Blast Germany’s mail-order on February 25 and was made available via Nuclear Blast USA’s webstore on March 15. This release is limited to 500 copies worldwide.

Graveyard: New Single Available For Streaming

Swedish occult rock outfit GRAVEYARD will release its new album, “Hisingen Blues”, in late March via Nuclear Blast Records. The CD’s first single, “Hisingen Blues”, can be streamed using the Soundcloud player below.

Drawing influences from by all sorts of guitar-driven music, GRAVEYARD delivers it all — along with stunning imagery and a pure, authentic attitude.

Commented Nuclear Blast head of A&R Andy Siry: “We are honored to be working with GRAVEYARD from now on! These guys are the most unique and amazing band the so-called retro rock scene has to offer, although GRAVEYARD are MUCH more than this. Keep your caps peeled — GRAVEYARD is upon us. 2011 will be the year of the ‘YARD!”

Added the band: “It feels great to work with such experienced and dedicated people as the Nuclear Blast crew. Awesome!! It’s a label that’s founded by old-school tape traders that obviously are good at what they do, since NB is one of the few big independent labels that manages not only to survive, but to expand in today’s difficult music climate.”
