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.

Graveyard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
got no time to hesitate
The stars are right to get to hell,
from the dog that bit me back
Break a nose or break a leg,
do you think that I give a damn?
I will never know it's over
I bring the bottom to the blind
There's no bottom when I run,
no tomorrow when I'm done
When you look into that hole,
you discover it destroys the soul
Got no time to die
There's no point to life
And if you judge me
and pointing fingers,
have a look at yourself
Bring me ... and some wine
I behave like a ... swine
... and maybe some booze,
please bring me my running shoes
A tambourine and loads of beer,
you don't wanna be around here
It is something, I had enough
I want more of that brown stone
There's no bottom when I run,
no tomorrow when I'm done
When you look into that hole,
you discover it destroys the soul
Got no time to die
Got no point to life
O-o-oh, a-a-ah
O-o-oh, a-a-ah
O-o-oh, a-a-ah
O-o-oh, a-a-ah
...
...
I've told you once, I've told you twice,
you can never change my life
... and play the blues,
... drinking the booze
But sometimes ...
that's when all hell breaks loose
There's no bottom when I run,
no tomorrow when I'm done
When you look into that hole,
you discover it destroys the soul
Got no time to die
Got no point to life
And if you judge me
and pointing fingers,
have a look at yourself
The song "RSS" by Graveyard is a dark and brooding anthem of self-destruction and nihilism. The lyrics explore the destructive tendencies of the singer, who seems to have given up on life and is hurtling towards his inevitable demise. The opening lines "Getting started early, got no time to hesitate, the stars are right to get to hell" highlight the sense of urgency and desperation that the singer feels. He is in a hurry to get to the bottom, and seems to have no qualms about the consequences.
The chorus "there's no bottom when I run, no tomorrow when I'm done" echoes the sense of futility and despair that is present throughout the song. The singer seems to be running away from something, but it's never quite clear what that something is. The final stanza, "I've told you once, I've told you twice, you can never change my life" drives home the point that the singer is beyond redemption. He is in control of his own destiny, and he has already made up his mind.
Overall, the lyrics of "RSS" paint a bleak and harrowing picture of a man who has lost all hope and is determined to self-destruct. The song is a powerful commentary on the darker side of the human psyche and the destructive tendencies that can arise when we give in to our fears and insecurities.
