Swedish rock heavyweights GRAVEYARD have revealed their seventh studio album, ‚Fever‘, set for release on October 9, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records. Produced entirely in-house without an outside producer, the record promises a heavier and more direct sound than its predecessor. The band will hit the road in autumn 2026 alongside BLUES PILLS.GRAVEYARD, one of the most revered forces in contemporary rock music, have announced their seventh studio album, ‚Fever‘, scheduled for release on October 9, 2026 through Nuclear Blast Records. The announcement marks the Swedish band’s return three years after their critically acclaimed record ‚Six‘, and signals a deliberate shift toward a rawer, more direct sound — one that echoes the blues-drenched spirit of their breakthrough album ‚Hisingen Blues‘.
Recorded without an outside producer, ‚Fever‘ sees GRAVEYARD taking full creative control of their craft. Mixing duties were handled by Pelle Gunnerfeldt, known for capturing the raw intensity of acts such as The Hives, Refused, and more recently Viagra Boys. The nine-track album spans titles including ‚Back From The Grave‘, ‚Tongue Tied‘, ‚Year Of The Horse‘, and closing track ‚Dead Note‘.
The striking cover artwork was created by Dutch visual artist Maarten Donders, whose expressive style has been celebrated at the cult festival Roadburn. Donders has produced artwork for more than 50 artists ranging from Acid King to Frank Zappa.
In support of the release, GRAVEYARD have confirmed a run of Scandinavian live dates for autumn 2026, sharing the stage with BLUES PILLS and SKRAECKÖDLAN across Sweden and Denmark. Highlights include shows in Gothenburg and Stockholm in late November. Further European dates are expected to be announced in due course.
