Gravetaker – Sheer Lunacy LP

Gravetaker – 'Sheer Lunacy' LP

140g Black vinyl edition limited to 300 copies

Vinyl edition of the 2025 debut recording. Emerging from the shadowed underground of Oulu, Finland, 'Sheer Lunacy' is the uncompromising debut from Gravetaker, a band devoted to reviving the raw and obscure spirit of early death metal. Drawing inspiration from the 'Soulside Journey' era of Darkthrone and the chaotic intensity of Katharsis, Gravetaker channels the untamed atmosphere of early ’90s extreme metal while carving out a sound that feels both primal and unpredictable. This is death metal stripped of modern gloss, ambitious in scope and firmly rooted in the underground. Across five expansive tracks spanning more than 35 minutes, each composition unfolds with a character of its own, moving seamlessly from haunting acoustic passages to violent eruptions of divebombing guitars and relentless blast beats. The album resists easy categorization, blending cavernous death metal with blackened intensity and experimental structures that reflect a fearless and unconventional approach to songwriting.
