Common Grave was founded in spring 1999 and recorded one year later with “M.D.K” the bands first demo. After some line-up changes, the release of their debut “Dehumanized” marked the start of the band. Common Grave had found their musical style: a mixture of traditional US death metal, mixed with modern elements in a powerful soundclothing. “Dehumanized” was produced by Stephan Fimmers and Muhammed Suicmez (both Necrophagist) and was released via Twilight Distributions.With their second album “Embedded Coding”, Common Grave is now back on the scene with a bang. The album, once more produced by Stephan Fimmers, contains guestvocals by no one less then John Gallagher (Dying Fetus) and Elliot Desgagnes (Beneath the Massacre) and takes Common Graves sound to a complete new level. It completely merges old school vibes with state-of-the-art brutality: blasts, breakdowns, grooves and technical death metal join forces in this catchy and explosive modern sound. Matured and refined songwriting adds complexity and melodic elements, but the nevertheless destined to kill on stage. And this is what the band is living for!!!.After having played support shows for bands like Necrophagist, Job For A Cowboy, Immolation, Deadlock, Cannibal Corpse, Marduk, Origin and Vader, the band showed with their participation on the renowned Summer Slaughter Canada Tour (amongst others Necrophagist, Dying Fetus, Beneath the Massacre, Into Eternity,…) as well with the “Bleeding Scandinavia”- and a Balkan Tour that they are a seriously international live act. Besides the extremely successful tours, Common Grave presented their new album also on several German and international festivals.For summer 2010 some festivals have been confirmed so far, amongst others some in the USA, as well as a three week tour through the states promoting the “Embedded Coding”.
