The first single and first-ever song that presented the band Grand Cadaver.

"Grand Cadaver for us, is a way to return to the rehearsal room, beer drinking, no holds barred Death Metal we grew up on!" said the band. "While also implementing what we’ve all picked up on our musical paths. We are five friends who all love this kind of sonic violence, and we wanted to get that feeling across, so we recorded Madness Comes in a 'what you see is what you get' style. ‘Fields of The Undying’ does not try to reinvent the wheel, it is a testimony of the sheer power of Death Metal and our love for the genre!"

The second single from Grand Cadaver, “For me, Blood-Filled Skies is the perfect storm, an homage to the legendary Swedish death metal sound yet also firmly rooted in the present,” says Alex Stjernfeldt. “We took everything we have picked up during the years and implemented it into Grand Cadaver, making both this song and the EP into a ferocious and catchy listen!”

“Blood-Filled Skies was the first song written for this project and it set the tone for what was to come,” adds Mikael Stanne. “This was the proof of concept that started the whole thing, and the idea was to find the balance between the long since departed sounds of Swedish death metal in the ’90s with the not quite dead yet sounds of what we feel is coming. With a shared passion for the undead sounds of a HM-2 set to max and guttural sounds telling stories of unspeakable horrors, I predict a long unnatural life for Grand Cadaver.”

"It is classic death metal but performed in a way that manages to stand out above so many others in the genre. Not because there is anything all that new but because there is this degree of polish you get from true professionals. There is a nice evolution throughout each track never letting things get too repetitive. A great example of the genre. If you can’t tell by now, I loved this EP. Go get yourself a copy. Every track will make it into any death metal playlist I make in the future and honestly would feel incomplete without it now. You owe it to yourself to give this one a listen. You will not regret it." Uber Rock

“This first single is just five guys in a room playing death metal. Plain and simple. We brought some Marshalls and HM-2s and started cranking out the next chapter of Grand Cadaver, a chapter that continues the path of blood and death that our ‘Madness Comes’ EP started. It might get a bit weirder this time, but it’s still a big slab of feel-bad Swedish death metal. And the B-side to this single is special. L.G. Petrov’s passing hit us hard. He is a big part of why we love this style of metal, and his impact on this band is enormous. We chose to record ‘Supposed to Rot’ as a celebration of L.G. and his years of service to death metal. It’s unquestionably a classic, and a perfect song; two minutes of killer riffs, killer vocals, drive and fantastic lyrics.”

“We wanted to create a death metal song so massive you can feel the sonic weight in your eardrums, while at the same time make it catchy and direct. It was recorded in a very raw and honest way since we wanted a sound that was simply, 'What You Hear Is What You Get!’ Five musicians live in a room. 'Rigorous and Merciless. The Epitome of Pain’!”

”If you are looking for a good kick in the teeth, you need not look any further. ”Empire Of Lies” was written for this purpose and for this purpose only. Like a geyser of violence erupting in your face. Enjoy!”

"Swedish style death metal is at the core of their sound, but Grand Cadaver don't limit themselves only to that style. "Grim Eternal" has a deliberate pace and doom influences, and it's immediately followed by "Reign Through Fire," which starts with a fast, thrashy section before easing back into a mid-tempo groove."
