Graveworm – Killing Innocence

AFM Records       release: April 28, 2023

After eight long years, the South Tyrolean extreme metal institution GRAVEWORM is finally
returning with their ninth studio album “Killing Innocence”. It’s remarkable, considering that it was founded in 1992 by Stefan Fiori (vocals) and Stefan Unterpertinger (guitar). It’s quite a long time ago that we’ve seen their live shows and interviewed them for our student radio project “For Those About to Rock” (which is still alive & well & now globally accessible!!) Graveworm is powerful as ever and has not lost any energy over the years. ItÄs hard to believe that Stefan is indeed a very kind person, hearing his in-human growling. Those 10 songs present their very own blend of thrash, black, gothic and death metal, brutal but still catchy (Where Agony Prevails) and many are driven by an infectious groove (A Nameless Grave, We Are The Resistance).

With this album, it’s diversity and nicely balanced structure, the band has reinvented themselves once again, remaining true to their style, adding a modern twist to their sound. Therefore a must for fans of extreme Metal.

In other words, editor-in-chief, translator, website and ad admin, "Jane of all trades" - - - addicted to books (everything between Lord Of The Rings & quantum physics) and music, mainly Metal made in Finland. Furthermore, there's painting, drawing, movies, theater... so you can expect some variety on this website too. MA Master of Arts, English and American studies & Media communication = completed two full studies parallel within 5 years; very proud of my achievement - a bit later in life thanks to a scholarship - as a working class girl in a highlyconservative-romancatholic nation...
