One of the most distinctive and revered forces in modern rock music, Sweden’s very own Graveyard are back with a brand new single, “A Means to an End”, the first glimpse at their highly anticipated 7th studio album “Fever”, which will be released on October 9th, 2026, worldwide on Nuclear Blast Records.
Arriving three years after the gloomier, introverted “Six”, Graveyard are literally turning up the heat by delivering a sonic experience that is drenched in fuzz and distortion, sporting massive Sabbath-ian grooves on opener “Back From the Grave”, CCR fueled grandeur on “Time to Tell” and straight-forward, hard hitting rock on “Room Tempered”, “Tongue Tied” and “A Means to an End”. Formed in 2006, the band collectively emphasizes the fierce spirit of the album.
With “Fever”, the band returns to the forefront of the scene with a noticeably heavier, more direct sound. They’ve entrusted the mixing duties to Pelle Gunnerfeldt who is widely renowned for capturing the ferocious energy of bands such as The Hives, Refused, and recently Viagra Boys whereas mastering was handled by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering. Amidst its sheer drive, Graveyard retained the undeniable, blues-soaked soul that originally defined their breakthrough album, “Hisingen Blues”, on slower songs like album closer “Dead Note” yet with a good dose of fiery anger.
After the fairly subtle, mysterious art on “Six”, Graveyard went for a striking visual approach on “Fever” relying on acclaimed Dutch artist Maarten Donders who cooperated with the band on their Split 7” with Goat, and whose work has been prominently showcased at cult festival Roadburn, featuring designs for more than 50 artists, ranging from Acid King to legendary Frank Zappa.
With two number-one albums in Sweden already to their name, Graveyard will initiate the touring cycle with a co-headline run through Scandinavia with Blues Pills to properly celebrate the release of “Fever”, followed by Europe/UK wide touring and festivals in 2027.
Brace for impact, Graveyard came back from the grave and they caught a “Fever”.
