Graveyard: "Goliath"

It's fitting, really: the reunited Witchcraft signed to Nuclear Blast for their latest, Legend, which is where fellow Swedes Graveyard landed for last year's breakthrough album, Hisingen Blues. Both bands are among the elite at what they do, which is basically a souped up 70's blues metal that studiously ignores any influences from the last 30 years. Whereas Witchcraft like to throw a little folkiness in the mix, though, Graveyard just wants to boogie.

Lights Out will be released October 26 on Nuclear Blast, with the "Goliath" single already out and sporting a non-LP b-side, "Leaving You".
