GRAVESTONE — Doomsday (1979-2004) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

Who talks about Gravestone means often the metal band from Illertissen from the eighties. True, later they really played some hard stuff, but their first two LPs, with the titles “Doomsday” (1979) and “War” (1980) were pure progressive rock (only some slight hard-rock influences could be heard). At the end of the nineties “Doomsday” was released as a bootleg CD, which was taken from the record. It was made up quite cheap and was released with neither the artists’ knowledge nor their consent. The now available legal CD on Garden of Delights was taken from the master tape. Its bonus was taken from the same studio session. In the booklet you can find a detailed story about the band in German and English version, a detailed discography even with their latest records, a lot of pictures, as well as cover and label repros.

GRAVESTONE — War (1980-2008) FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

In the eighties, Gravestone from Illertissen, Swabia, became quite famous as a hard rock and metal group. What many people don’t know is that they initially - and with a different line-up - released two LPs with progressive rock and critical lyrics, namely “Doomsday” (AVC K 793102 ST) from 1979 and “War” (AVC LP 80020 ST) from 1980, in small editions of 1000 copies each. Meanwhile both albums have been released as CDs on Garden of Delights; both drawn from the master tapes. In addition to a very detailed band history the booklets of both CDs contain a lot of photographs, a complete discography also of the group’s late period, cover and label reproductions, etc. “War” contains much more vocals than “Doomsday”, namely four tracks sung in English, two in German, and one instrumental piece.
