Having only just broken up in September last year, the Swedish heritage rock group Graveyard has now announced its return with a slightly revised line-up. That is to say, drummer Axel Sjöberg is no longer with the band (check out his new outfit Big Kizz), and auditions for the vacant position are underway.

The following official statement was released by the band via Facebook:

A new day rising,

Living isn’t always easy and playing in a band doesn’t tend to make the noble art of living well any easier. Things weren’t working and in the end a change in the line-up was the only option for our return. Graveyard’s journey will continue with a yet to be named new future drummer and the reasons behind this change of scenery are something that we don’t want, wish or will comment on. We’re gonna leave it be with Axel’s own words: “Word on the street is that there is a job opening in the drummer’s section.” We wish Axel all the best and you can follow his next move with his already set to fly new outfit BIG KIZZ.

We’d also like to apologize to each and every one of you out there for putting you through these uncertain Graveyard times. With that said we’re beyond glad to announce that as of today the Graveyard is officially re-opened for business. Albums will be recorded, shows will be played and all of this hopefully for a long, long time to come.

Let’s shine on!

In light of this fantastic news, we will of course get right on reviewing the band’s most recent outing, ”Innocence & Decadence”, which came out on Nuclear Blast Records in 2015. In the meanwhile, you can stream one of the songs from it, ”Too Much is Not Enough”, right here:
