- Release Info -------------------------------------------------------------- - Artist: Graveyard Album: Innocence & Decadence Label: Nuclear Blast Playtime: 42:35 min Genre: Metal URL: Rip date: 2015-09-26 Street date: 2015-09-25 Size: 82.33 MB Type: Normal Quality: 258 kbps / 4410Hz / Joint Stereo - Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- - "Graveyard is a band best heard in passing. Imagine youÆre downtown at night, strolling past some dive bar that would be unappealing if not for the sounds coming from inside: bluesy and urgent, with a certain understanding of a time you never knew. Your curiosity is piqued. You walk in, buy a drink, and find a place to stand to enjoy the show. Four guys are up on stage with what first seems like the intention to play fast, get paid, and get out, but as their set goes on, their pace slows, and they begin to bare their souls and their love for the music. At points, it all may seem played out and just a little bit too familiar, but there are overlapping moments on Innocence & Decadence, the Swedish bandÆs fourth album, when the music not only draws your attention, but provokes your thoughts as to why it all works the way it does. At first listen, Graveyard is a band steeped in late Æ60s nostalgia. On pop-leaning tracks like ôThe Apple & the Treeö, you might mistake them for Cream. On the heavier and more brooding tracks, like ôCanÆt Walk Outö, theyÆre The Doors. Jonatan RammÆs riffs sound like theyÆve never seen the light of the 21st century, and Joakim NilssonÆs voice drips with whiskey. Where you might feel like youÆve gotten a pretty good grasp of their sound after ôThe Apple & the Treeö, the albumÆs second song, you might be tempted to leave, especially because the next one sounds like all the energy in the room has been extinguished. Stick around, though, because the sleeper ballad ôExit 97ö is the best track Innocence & Decadence has to offer. NilssonÆs mournful vocals sulk through a damp and steady rainfall of snares and hi-hats before organ greets his misery and gets him swinging from lampposts like some nihilistic Gene Kelly. ItÆs a soulful act that can reach the lonesome blues in anyoneÆs heart. ItÆs comforting, itÆs familiar ù itÆs comforting because itÆs familiar. And when you take a look at GraveyardÆs discography, youÆll find that any sort of enjoyment of their music derives from that very nostalgia. That can be problematic. Music like GraveyardÆs, so heavily nostalgic for a time nearly half a century gone, can only be enjoyed for what it is. Quality can only get you so far when you forgo innovation in favor of remembering the good olÆ days. Of course, itÆs any artistÆs prerogative to be inspired by whatever they like, so itÆs no serious detriment to GraveyardÆs satisfactory body of work. The fast-paced, nearly headbang-worthy energy in tracks like ôNever Theirs to Sellö, ôFrom a Hole in the Wallö, and ôHard Headedö is undeniable, while the slow-rolling drawl of tracks like ôToo Much Is Not Enoughö and ôFar Too Closeö keeps the heart and passion of Innocence & Decadence burning. It still remains, though, that active fans may be left underwhelmed and wanting more. So, while youÆll likely be tapping your foot and nodding your head, you might also be wrestling with the fact that none of this is new. Graveyard has the allure of an artifact from some bygone era, and theyÆre all the better in the sense that the artifact is very much living and breathing. The band is good at doing what theyÆve set out to do, and when it comes down to what matters, all parties involved ù musicians and listeners alike ù will surely enjoy themselves. When the band is done playing, though, with the stage struck and crowd dispersed, youÆll find yourself outside the bar greeting the cool night air, and in those first few breaths, youÆll catch yourself wondering about all the possibilities yet to be explored." - Track List ---------------------------------------------------------------- - 01.
