GRAVE: More 'Morbid Ascent' EP Details Revealed

July 10, 2013

Swedish death metal veterans GRAVE will release a new five-song EP, "Morbid Ascent", as a limited 12-inch MLP (with full-color, 180-gram vinyl and full-color inlay) as well as digital download. Both formats will be offered for a fan-friendly price. The digital download will be made available August 26. The vinyl version will be sold at various stands at the Party.San and Summer Breeze open-air festivals in Germany.

"Morbid Ascent" includes two brand new tracks, a cover version of SATYRICON's "Possessed", a remix version of "Epos", as well as the newly recorded version of "Reality Of Life", a classic GRAVE demo track from the "Sexual Mutilation" demo (1989). The EP's opening track, "Venial Sin", features some shrieking guest solos by AUTOPSY's Eric Cutler. The cover artwork as well as additional interior artwork and the entire layout was once again created by Costin Chioreanu, who has worked on covers for the last three GRAVE albums as well as artwork for numerous other artists and bands (DARKTHRONE, DESTROYER 666, ULVER).
