Recently I made a new friend on the Internets and through an exchange of email convos I found out that she also had her own online magazine called Halcyon Magazine, it’s a fairly new site, but with that said she’s got some great content on their. I’m posting up this interview that she recently did with the Swedish band Graveyard. Their sound can be classified as classic rock, definitely an old school feel and soul to their sound.
Halcyon recently caught up Graveyard’s Axel Sjöberg after their American tour. Hailing from Gothenberg, Sweden, Graveyard plays psychedelic rock n’roll recalling Pentagram, the heavy riffs of ever-influential Sabbath, updated with the blues-fueled sounds of Heavy Cream. While Graveyard has been acccused of being conjoined twinsies to Sweden’s other Pentagram-inspired doom metal favorite, Witchcraft, I think they stand on their own- though perhaps in the same mystic forest as their Swedish compatriots. Graveyard, for one, has a slightly jazzier feel, with more open areas of free-spirited explorations, freaked-out drumming and bluesy, improvisational sections. Their recent album, was recorded in analog by Don Ahlsterberg (Soundtrack of our Lives, The International Noise Conspiracy, Division of Laura Lee), lending them that classic Swedish-garage grit that still manages to maintain a certain pop sensibility. – Halcyon Magazine
