LOYAL TO THE GRAVE formed in 1998. We released our debut mini album, "North Truth", on Devil's Head Records (U.S.) and a split EP with THE ACACIA STRAIN. This was followed by the band's first full-length album, "Abstract Sensations", and an EP titled "Indistinct" on Imperium Recordings (Japan). We have toured consistently in Japan sharing the stage on occasion with HATEBREED, TERROR, CONVERGE and many more.
Our 2nd album "Still Climbin' Still Believin'" received a worldwide release with the help of Surprise Attack Records (U.S.), Skull and Bone Records (Australia) and Towhall Records (Korea). We also released a two-way split on Seventh Dagger Records (U.S.) with WINDS OF PLAGUE and XAFBX. We visited the U.S. as part of the DECEMBER DECIMATION FESTIVAL 2010. Our new album "Against The Odds" out from EULOGY RECORDINGS 2012.
