GRIFTEGÅRD Taps WOLVERINE Bassist For New Album

July 15, 2009

GRIFTEGÅRD, a doom metal band from Norrköping, Sweden, has tapped WOLVERINE's Thomas Jansson to play bass on GRIFTEGÅRD's upcoming album for a tentative September release.

GRIFTEGÅRD, whose name is the Swedish word for "a grave yard sans a church," features in its ranks former WOLVERINE guitarist Per Broddesson. According to the group's official bio, "the name holds a symbolism that is echoed in the musical and textual themes expressed by GRIFTEGÅRD — the aesthetic is clearly spiritual, although non-confessional, just like the atmosphere of a burial ground is perceived as solemn, sacred and severe regardless of whether the visitor is aware of which religious current it is a part of. GRIFTEGÅRD, in an artistic context, is the burial ground for finite and worldly thoughts and the birth place for ponderings of an infinite and spiritual nature — the superficial, the shallow, the empty has no place in GRIFTEGÅRD's universe."

Jansson will perform with GRIFTEGÅRD on July 18 at the Ballroom in Hamburg, Germany, where they will play alongside THE DEVIL'S BLOOD.
