Swedish melodic death metal force DEAD SUN returns with its brand new album, “This Life Is A Grave” – another slab of dark, melodic, and riff-driven death metal crafted by the ever-prolific Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Revolting, Ribspreader, and many more). Backed this time by drummer Thomas Ohlsson, the new record showcases Dead Sun’s unmistakable blend of heaviness, melancholy, and melody, proving once again that the band’s creative fire burns stronger than ever.
Formed back in 1996, Dead Sun was originally conceived as an outlet for Rogga Johansson to explore a more melodic side of death metal alongside his main band Terminal Grip (later renamed Paganizer). The project debuted with the “As Night Conquers Day” demo in 1997, followed by the six-track demo “The Untold” in 1999, before entering a long period of dormancy. Sporadic recording sessions in the early 2000s eventually led to the band’s reawakening, culminating in a 2013 release that collected early demos and new material.
Since then, Dead Sun has remained active, releasing a steady stream of albums and compilations that showcase Johansson’s distinctive songwriting and devotion to the Swedish death metal tradition. With “This Life Is A Grave”, Dead Sun continues to evolve while staying true to its roots – delivering melodic death metal that is as dark, powerful, and timeless as ever.
“This Life Is A Grave” will be released on CD and digital formats on 19.12.2025, via Emanzipation Productions.
