Here's my review of Graveyard's Hisingen Blues

I discovered this band from a friend who recommended this album. This is Graveyard's second release. Graveyard hail from Sweden. This a throwback band to the seventies. They sound like a band like The Groundhogs or seventies output of the band Pentagram. Both bands I like very much. They mix varied styles from Blues to the early style of Heavy Metal. If your looking for something that sounds old but is new. I'd recommend this to all fans of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. The Vocals are very strong on this release. But it's the music on this release that drives it for me. The reason I gave it 9 out of 10 is only I think the Production could've been better. Well the stand out tracks to me here are. Ain't Fit To Live Here great way to start a album. Hisingen Blues This might be the song that best represents this bands style. Longing is a track that sticks with me when I here it. Ungrateful Are The Dead just great song with some cool music.

Enjoy

Thought it was a great album. Made it pretty high on my top albums of 2011 list.

I like what I've heard. They were at bonnaroo last year, I really wanted to see them but I didn't make it. My friend saw them and said it was the best show he saw at the festival, which Is saying quite a bit.

When I first heard it, I put it on repeat and listened to it another three times in a row. Really enjoyed it. I agree with your rating, as well. At worst, 8.5, but 9 sounds right.

I really enjoyed it too. Agree with what you said in the OP.
