Ah, Swedish death metal: Nothing rings sweeter than the combination of those three words. The adorable headbanging Scandinavians in Grave don the black uniform with a nihilistic fervor characteristic of their fellow countrymen in Entombed and Dismember (both of whom will also play this Saturday at Hubba’s, 13740 East Quincy Avenue in Aurora). Grave began its musical life as Corpse in 1986, later switching to its current monosyllabic moniker. Into the Grave, released in 1991 on Century Media, instantly rooted the band as a reckoning force of double-bass pedal havoc and throaty, gnarled vocals. After an extended break in the late ’90s, the group rose again to assure fans that Grave was not dead. Now celebrating two decades of metal mayhem, Grave is out in support of its latest — and perhaps most mature — release, As Rapture Comes.
