A Fresh Era for Grave: The Reunion Unveiled
< strong>Lindgren expressed his excitement about the reunion in August 2024: “We are grateful for everyone who responded positively to our declaration last week and shares our enthusiasm. Let me clarify what this ‘reunion’ means. Earlier this year, the other three original members reached out for a conversation that led us to rehearse together again and assess if we still had that special chemistry.”
“I can say without hesitation that reuniting after all these years surpassed our expectations, which encouraged us to schedule some performances.We are currently organizing festival appearances throughout 2025. However, there are no immediate plans for touring or recording new material with this lineup just yet—though it’s difficult to predict where this journey might lead us.”
< strong>Lindgren’s remarks also hinted at future possibilities: “The version ofGrave that disbanded last year isn’t gone forever; it’s simply taking a hiatus.
[longtime drummerTomas Lagrén]] has not been removed from the band and will have an opportunity to join any future projects when they arise.” < / p >
