6

6 is the sixth album by Graveyard, the vintage hard rock band from Gothenburg, and the title says as much. They formed in 2006 and debuted with a self-titled record the next year; the bluesy, psychedelic writing sounded as though it had come forward in time from the late 1960s, and people noticed at once. After signing to Nuclear Blast they put out Hisingen Blues (2011), Lights Out (2012), Innocence & Decadence (2015) and Peace (2018), building an audience across Europe. This one was made in the dark stretch of the pandemic and it shows: slower, darker and more soulful than what came before, with the vintage riffing and singing you would know anywhere still intact. Ward Records released the Japanese edition on 10 November 2023 as GQCS-91400, after the overseas edition of 29 September. Nine tracks, about thirty-eight minutes.
