1. Graveyard is a hard rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden.
Joakim Nilsson, Rikard Edlund (both formerly of Norrsken), Axel Sjöberg, and Truls Mörck formed Graveyard in 2006. 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 was featured on Rolling Stone Magazine's Fricke's Picks for their first ever US gig at SXSW.[4] After SXSW, Graveyard toured with label mates Witch. In the Fall of 2008 Graveyard toured with Witchcraft and then Clutch. In 2009 they toured with the rock band CKY. Graveyard released their second album in spring of 2011.
2. Graveyard is also a melodic stoner rock/metal band from Vilnius, Lithuania. The band was formed in 2005 by five young like-minded guys. Later, the rhythm guitarist Artas left the band.

In the late spring of 2008 the band got back with a new vocalist and are ready to rock the stage again. The current members are: Simonas Palevičius (vocals), Marius Palivonas (guitar), Vaidotas Segenis (drums) and Martynas Samulevičius (bass guitar).

Hisingen Blues
Graveyard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call the rest a stone
Leading to the isle
I don't wanna go
Nothing really matters
Even life or death
Meeting with the man
Where is the future?
There is no past
Only the present
And will it last?
Greed is the product
Of the fruitful days
Brother have no worries
Captain Adler's case
Lucifer beside me
We are holding hands
I don't need to travel
[Unverified] across the land
Oh Lucifer, please take my hand
Oh Lucifer gonna take my hand
(Yup)
The lyrics of Hisingen Blues by Graveyard depict a sense of aimlessness, confusion, and existential crisis of the singer. The opening lines "Going by the riot, call the rest a stone, leading to the isle, I don't wanna go" suggest a rebellion or a movement that the singer is both a part of and hesitant to be associated with. He feels uninterested in reaching the destination and wishes to escape. The lines "nothing really matters, even life or death, meeting with the man, to feel the dragon's breath" itself is an enigma. It may suggest that the singer is willing to take risks and willing to confront danger without caring about the outcome. The line "meeting with the man" may refer to a powerful figure or a leader with whom the singer is willing to associate despite the risks.
The following lines "where is the future? there is no past, only the present, and will it last?" questions the concept of time and rationality. The singer questions the present's validity and doubts the existence of a future or the relevance of the past. This line may suggest the singer is struggling with life. The singer then talks about the impact of greed that may have created an unbalanced world. "Greed is the product, of the fruitful days, brother have no worries, Captain Adler's case" suggests that to achieve success, people may have become greedy for power and money, causing the disparity.
The chorus "Oh Lucifer, please take my hand" refers to the devil, who is generally a symbol of darkness or evil. The singer seems to be reaching out to the devil to save him from the chaos or confusion he faces in life. The lyrics of the Hisingen Blues do not provide a clear meaning but suggest a sense of dissatisfaction and confusion. The song may highlight the problems and uncertainties related to the future, and how greed and power can create chaotic situations for individuals and society as a whole.

Ya brother you right, so many bands have laid down many fucking hours of to fucking notch sounds and never get a hey I like you, you might have a chance. Fuck the people who have the last word on who is who next. I'm 55 and God bless the ones who paved the way but fuck were starving for some new sounds. If I hear sweet home Alabama again on WDVE Pittsburgh I'll turn gay and butt fuck a 🐓 just because it's something different. Get it?
