Gravestone are a band from Sweden that plays a very old school form of d beat infleunced death metal and this is a review of their album "Sickening" which will be released in 2018 by Raw Skull Recordz.
A few seconds of horror movie style keyboards start off the album before going into a heavier direction which also introduces melodic guitar leads onto the recording while all of the musical instruments having a very powerful sound to them along with some elements of d beat and punk.
Vocals are mostly old school death metal growls that are very heavy to understand while the music is very heavily rooted in the mid 80's to early 90's along with the riffs also bringing in a decent amount of melody as well as the faster sections of the songs also bringing in a great amount of blast beats and the songs also bring in a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the music always remains heavy.
Gravestone plays a style of Swedish death metal that is very heavily rooted in the mid 80's to early 90's while also adding in touches of d beat and punk, the production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover gore, death and blasphemy themes.
In my opinion Gravestone are a very great sounding old school death metal band with a touch of d beat and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Timbthrasher" "Behead The Bastard" "Necromaniac" and "By The Knife". 8 out of 10.
