Norrköping, Sweden doom metal goliaths Griftegård unleashed their debut full-length, Solemn-Sacred-Severe, in the US earlier this year via Van Records. Branded "a milestone" by Sweden Rock Magazine, who gave the record a much-deserved 9 /10 rating upon its Euro release late last year, Solemn-Sacred-Severe was recorded and mixed during the first half of 2009 in Milk Studios, Norrköping, and produced by the band, with co-producer engineer / studio owner Magnus Jonsson. Arguably one of the genre's most eclectic offerings this year, the riff heavy masterwork includes appearances from various friends of the band, all of whom added to the already multi-textured epic doom hymns.
