Review
Sweden’s
Kings of Psychedelic Blues Rock, Graveyard, have recently released
their new full length entitled Peace. The bands fifth record is an
impressive collection of 10 smoking tracks of high energy retro rock.
These guys have a sound that mimics early Rolling Stones, Kinks and
13th Floor Elevators and mixes in that of 70’s rock bands Atomic
Rooster, Bang, Captain Beyond and early Pentagram. Peace has a
familiar feel, while still sounding unique and exciting. The sound is
inviting and warm, but with heavy dose of psych inspired grit.
Graveyard is, and has been, the real deal.
The
album explodes with the driving, raucous It
Ain’t Over Yet.
An intense rocker with AC/DC inspired vocal delivery. Cold
Love
is
a bluesy, rumbling lament to some long lost heartbreak, See
The Day
is
a slower tempo track with a deeper, meditative feel. The band
channels their inner Doors vibe, and even bring in a little Hammond
organ with the Roadhouse Blues style stomp of Please
Don’t. The
band keeps a similar vibe with slowed down, groovy vibe of Del
Manic,
with a warning to heed chorus. I am a sucker for a 60’s inspired
pop song. The band delivers in spades on The
Fox. A
perfect little piece of fuzzed out perfection.
The
band brings their full on swaggering rock groove with Walk
On.
The
band brings the 60’s pop back for a bit with the unique Bird
of Paradise before
bringing the full on rock n roll assault of A
Sign of Peace, with
it’s driving drums and killer guitar work. The record closes with
the guitar heavy swagger and jam heavy feel of Low
(I Wouldn’t Mind). A
bombasti rocker to close out this killer set.
The
album title seems to resonate throughout the record, be it pleas for
world peace, neighbourly peace, or the eternal search for inner
peace. Graveyard have handed us another classic. This record is a bit
more reminiscent of their earlier releases. If you dig those records,
you will dig on Peace. Highly Recommended!
