DISMEMBER Bassist To Perform With GRAVE At Finland's FINN HITS Festival

August 8, 2009

DISMEMBER's Tobias Cristiansson will play bass for fellow Swedish death metallers GRAVE at the Finn Hits festival, set to take place August 14-15, 2009 in Pori, Finland.

Commented Cristiansson: "Once again I will have the pleasure to play bass with the mighty GRAVE!

"Fredrik Isaksson is busy playing with the newly reformed old-school band EXRUCIATE on the Thunders Over Miriqidi festival in Germany and therefore he is not able to do the gig in Finland.

"The day after the Finland gig, I will accompany GRAVE on a flight down to Germany to the Summer Breeze festival where Fredrik will join up with the band again. So my part on Summer Breeze will be to hang out, drink lots of beer, watch GRAVE play and just have a blast!"

The Finn Hits festival billing is as follows:

GRAVE
NICOLE
PROFANE OMEN
MURDERSHOCK

Cristiansson last performed with GRAVE at two shows in Mexico in early March. Video footage from the Mexico City concert can be viewed below.

Tobias previously stated about the opportunity to play with GRAVE, "The guys are very good friends of mine and DISMEMBER have done several tours and gigs together with GRAVE.

"I remember being like 14 years old sitting in my room and blasting out the 'You'll Never See...' album on high volume and some year later seing the awesome video for 'Soulless' on MTV's 'Headbangers Ball'. So it will feel special for me to play these old songs together with GRAVE."

GRAVE's eighth album, "Dominion VIII", was released in April 2008 via Regain Records.
