…::: MY OWN GRAVE – “Necrology” :::. (Available in Super Jewel Box
format) (OUT NOW!!!) Three years after the debut
full-length and a mini-album in between, Sweden’s MY OWN GRAVE comes back
strong with a darker, denser and merciless form of Death Metal with their
second effort “Necrology”. This is a nasty slab of supreme machine-gun
riffs, intensely paced songwriting and with a sound so sinister, “Necrology”
will arguably be one of the elite releases in 2009; chained with the
abhorrent sound of old Swedish Death Metal and merging with the face-melting
brutality of US Death Metal! This is simply straight-up Death
Metal with class, not for the weak of heart! Features the superb
production duties handled by multi-instrumentalist maestro Dan Swan� at
Unisound, Sweden (Dissection, Dark Funeral, etc) and killer album artwork
courtesy of illustrator / tattooist Jon Zig (Suffocation, Deeds Of Flesh,
Sinister, etc). "When I hear albums like this, it makes
me proud to be a part of the Swedeath phenomenon. Great songs with
well-crafted hooks and a musicianship to die for. The perfect blend between
old-school and modern Death Fucking Metal!!" - Dan Swan� / Unisound Click

My Own Grave is a Swedish Death Metal band founded in April 2001.
They released four self-produced demos before signing with Karmageddon Media (ex-Hammerheart) in 2004.
The debut album Unleash was recorded in Necromorbus Studio, and produced by Sverker “Widda” Widgren (Diabolical, Demonical).
Unleash was released in January 2006, worldwide by Plastic Head, but Karmageddon went out of business and it was never promoted.
Since the material on Unleash was a combination of old demo songs, and material written in 2004, My Own Grave decided to start writing for a new album.
In September My Own Grave were offered to tag along with Setherial on their European Tour of December 2006,
and since they did not want to tour with their old Unleash material, a decision was made to release the new songs as a mini-album.
My Own Grave signed with Pulverised Records, and a limited edition of the upcoming mini-album was printed for the tour.
The five tracks strong mini-album was named Unholy, and changed My Own Grave’s sound by moving away from their thrashy roots,
towards traditional death metal. Important pieces in this conversion were John’s fast blastbeats, Aron’s change from screams to deep
growling vocals, and an improved musicianship overall. Unholy was once again produced by Widda at Necromorbus Studio.
Unholy received critical praise worldwide and was named best album of the month in Close-Up Magazine, issue 92. Til’ this day it still holds an average score of 8.3 / 10!
Unholy was released in March 2007, and that year My Own Grave toured Sweden and Scandinavia with bands like Vital Remains, and God Among Insects.
After a gig in Ume� in April 2008, My Own Grave decided to focus on finishing the new album, not knowing how long it would actually take before the album would be released.
The new album was recorded mostly in My Own Grave’s own studio Blastbeat in Sundsvall, in September-November 2008.
Mixing and mastering was handled by legend Dan Swan� at Studio Unisound.
The amazing cover and booklet artwork was created by Jon Zig whom the band contacted after seeing his work for Suffocation.
Both artwork and master was ready for release in March 2009, but logistical trouble arose for Pulverised Records and the album was not released until July 20th.
The album is called Necrology, an appropriate title since the lyrical theme is death throughout human history.
