Swedish rock band Graveyard is back with a brand new album titled Fever, released on October 9, 2026, through Nuclear Blast Records. The nine track album marks the band's first full length release since Six arrived in 2023, and it finds the group returning to the heavy guitars, bluesy grooves, and psychedelic sounds that have made it a favorite among fans of classic inspired rock. Rather than trying to reinvent its sound, Graveyard decided to turn up the volume and get back to the raw, hard hitting music that helped establish its reputation.

Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2006, Graveyard has spent nearly two decades bringing the spirit of late 1960s and 1970s rock into the modern era. Albums such as Hisingen Blues, Lights Out, and Peace helped build the band's following by blending heavy guitar riffs with blues, soulful vocals, and a psychedelic edge. With Fever, the band continues that tradition while taking a more direct approach. The group wanted the new songs to hit harder and feel more immediate, delivering the kind of music that sounds just as powerful through a set of speakers as it does in a live performance.

The album features nine songs, opening with “Back From The Grave,” a heavy, groove driven rocker influenced by the sound of Black Sabbath. Other tracks include “Tongue Tied,” “A Better Cut (Note To Self),” “Year Of The Horse,” “A Means To An End,” “Time To Tell,” “Don't Shoot!,” “Room Tempered,” and “Dead Note.” The single “A Means To An End” arrived ahead of the album on August 14, giving listeners an early taste of the band's heavier direction. The record closes with “Dead Note,” a slower, blues soaked song that gives the album a more reflective finish after the hard driving rock that comes before it.
