Swedish death metal veterans GRAVE will release their new album, “Out Of Respect For The Dead”, on October 16 via Century Media. The CD’s eerie artwork, which can be seen below, was again created by Costin Chioreanu, who has been responsible for the band’s last three albums as well as the “Morbid Ascent” EP.

Three years have passed since the release of GRAVE’s last opus, “Endless Procession Of Souls”, that was followed by a European headlining tour together with SONNE ADAM, the release of the vinyl-only “Morbid Ascent” EP and another tour with labelmates ENTOMBED A.D.
Since fall 2014, GRAVE has been working on the follow-up to “Endless Procession Of Souls”. And it has turned out to be one of the angriest and most evil albums of the band’s career.
