When Norrsken disbanded in 2000, guitarist Magnus Pelander went on to form doomy folk metal act Witchcraft and Nilsson and Edlund joined Albatros, a growly blues rock band whose lineup also included Sjöberg on drums. Initially they considered Albatros a hobby project, but after five years the members began taking their music more seriously and had grown dissatisfied with the direction their sound had taken. When Albatros broke up, Nilsson and Edlund decided that for their next venture, they would head back towards their roots as musicians and songwriters. Nilsson explains, “I am a singer, but in Albatross I only played guitar. Rikard played guitar but he is a bass player. We also wanted a more straightforward [rock] sound.”
Together with Sjöberg and guitarist/singer Truls Mörck they began practicing as Graveyard. Upon their initial formation, Graveyard quickly recorded a two track demo, played a total of three shows, and began planning for a full-length album with Swedish boutique label, Transubstans Records. In the meantime, they posted a demo of some of their material on MySpace. Songs from the band's Myspace caught the ear of Tony Presedo, founder of TeePee Records. Their self-titled debut album was recorded by Don Ahlsterberg and released in early 2008. On the recording sessions' completion, Truls Mörck was replaced by guitarist Jonatan Ramm. The debut album received generally good reviews. Graveyard performed at the 2008's South by Southwest Music Festival.

Graveyard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the ones you chose to free and the ones that you forgot.
And the others that you already sold,
Did someone see you coming close?
When the numbers in your head is punished with every you can find
You better turn away, let it get you at the end of this day.
And the test of being part of the fun, thought that may be losing all the
lie.
I’ve got trouble on the line, believe in what I think it’s true.
All, all this time,
Break it through the lines,
All, all for one,
The sparkle brings you down.
‘cause every reason somebody got
And sometimes is hard to play alone.
It was a dream that they care,
But they cared of every way that they can.
So if you see it on the way, don’t pretend, just hide in the herd.
That’s the love of the gods and they show
Tell me just why I feel so old.
This is what is like when it’s always going hard and cold,
‘cause when you turn your head,
Let it show the end of your friend.
All, all this time,
Break it through the lines,
All, all for one,
The sparkle brings you down.
All, all this time,
Break it through the lines,
All, all for one,
The sparkle brings you down.
The lyrics of Graveyard's song Seven Seven seem to explore the themes of betrayal and the consequences that result from such acts. The opening lines, "Run the seas and the quote that you already got, for the ones you chose to free and the ones that you forgot," suggest that the singer may have betrayed someone or a group of people, with some being saved or ignored and others being sold out. The lines, "When the numbers in your head is punished with every you can find, you better turn away, let it get you at the end of this day," indicates that the guilt of betrayal may be weighing heavily on the singer's mind, and it would be better for them to face the consequences than to keep causing harm.
The chorus, "All, all this time, break it through the lines, all, all for one, the sparkle brings you down," could be interpreted as a warning that dishonesty and betrayal will ultimately lead to a downfall. The lines, "And the test of being part of the fun, thought that may be losing all the lie, I’ve got trouble on the line, believe in what I think it’s true," suggests that there may be pressure to conform to a group or situation and that honesty may be difficult or risky.
Overall, the lyrics of Seven Seven seem to convey a sense of regret and a cautionary tale about the dangers of betrayal and dishonesty. The song's message is further emphasized by its haunting and melancholic melody.
