Hard at work horrifying the masses since 2005, Grave Robber have been anything but idle. Combining bouncy, catchy percussion with riffs and guitar solos as sharp as Dracula’s fangs, Grave Robber’s rugged and raunchy releases – “Be Afraid”, “Inner Sanctum”, Exhumed”, “You’re All Gonna Die”, “Straight To Hell”, “Escaping The Grave, “Dry Bones”, and two Christmas releases “Scary Christmas To You” and “Xmas Is The Worst” (Not to mention multiple digital only releases and compilation tracks) – have garnered these horror rockers well deserved press from acclaimed punk and metal outlets alike for a good reason. Each song by these prolific punks creates an immersive and haunting atmosphere that has listeners so engaged that they are constantly glancing over their shoulders wondering if Grave Robber is coming for them next.

To answer the question of what comes next, one need look no further than Grave Robber’s upcoming covers release “The Cellar Sessions”, a collection of Grave Robber’s straight ahead, no holds barred interpretations of a wide variety of cover songs. Some of the songs will fittingly be unexpected choices, which has been part of Grave Robber’s ethos since 2005. Concurrently, all of the songs are still the musical slam to the face fans of the band have come to know and love.

Christian Horror Punk.  Yeah.  That’s a thing.  And it is done very well by the band Grave Robber.  The costumes are shocking.  Zombies!!!  Aaahh!!!  The music is shocking.  The message…in the lyrics and in the preaching from the frontman…is on-point, full of Biblical wisdom.   The man behind this mask is Shawn Browning.  Lead singer, pastor, realtor, and the head of Rottweiler Records, label home of Grave Robber, XIII Minutes, and several other bands we play on The Implosion.    We have a video clip from their concert on The Implosion’s Facebook page:
