Episode 103: Jonatan Larocca-Ramm (Graveyard)

Talkin‘ the Talk With Don

Back in 2011, a good friend of mine who was working at the record label Nuclear Blast called me up. I knew it was something super important if she was calling me. When I picked up, without hesitation, she said, “Don! I just heard your new favorite band. They’re called Graveyard and their new album is called Hisingen Blues.” After the first listen of the album, I knew she was right. This was a band that was doing something unlike I’d ever heard and I loved it. Twelve years later, here I am, still a massive Graveyard fan and geeking out over their latest (and best) album, 6.

It has been nothing less than surreal to watch Graveyard grow from a new band to a band that is now being considered influential and fathers of their movement. I had the pleasure of once again speaking with guitarist Jonatan Larocca-Ramm and it was great to talk to as always. We touched on the writing process during the Covid-19 pandemic, not taking things for granted, and the growing, strengthening bond between the members of the band.

Enjoy, y’all!
