GRAVE

The drummer in the Swedish death metal band Grave, Jensa Paulsson, one of the original founders of the band, has left the band due to work and family related issues and has been replaced by Kaamos drummer Cristofer Barkensjö. According to the group's official web site, Cristofer “is an excellent drummer and has been a friend of ours for a long time, so we are very happy to welcome him in the band. He's played two shows with the band already — in Abo, Finland and Gothenburg, Sweden — filling the chair for Jensa. His first appearance as a member of GRAVE will be at the March Metal Meltdown in New Jersey. We would like to thank Jensa for all the good years and good times and wish him the best of luck in the future.” Other Grave news: Grave is confirmed to play the March Metal Meltdown festival in New Jersey at March 7-9:th This will be the bands first show in the U.S since 1996
