Old. School. Swedish. Death. Metal. Could it be any more true? While fellow originators Entombed went the route of Death-n-Roll and Dismember kept the faith, both Unleashed and Grave apparently quit the scene around 1997 or so, though 2002 saw both bands return with a vengeance. After a ~5 year premature burial, Back from the Grave showed this band crushing headstones again with a resurrection tour de force. Showing a type of Fiendish Regression in 2004, the band proved they didn't need to change what worked for so many years and instead went back to basics. In 2006 As Rapture Comes has the gentlemen of Grave at their most demonic in years -- just look at the artwork. With Peter Tägtgren at the helm, this thing boils and blisters like the sonic blueprint of old school Swedish Death Metal tribute band Bloodbath was mixed with that infamous Sunlight Studios sound courtesy of Tomas Skogsberg so many years ago. Down-tuned, demented Death Metal is on fierce display here over 8 original songs, an intro, and a sickeningly good cover of Alice in Chains' "Them Bones" -- Grunge really never sounded so good. If you enjoyed Grave at any point throughout the band's storied career, their latest offering should have you grinning from ear to deafened ear. Ola and crew are making another statement to the pretenders out there crowding the scene: "This is ours. Stand back and behold." As Rapture Comes proves we can all die... satisfied. Again.
