BIOGRAPHY:
MY OWN GRAVE was founded in April 2001 in Timrå by Anders Härén, Max Bergman and John Henriksson. With the goal to play fast, extreme metal not necessarily bound to a specific sub-genre, the band recorded four demos in four years. During this time the sound evolved and two line-up additions were made: Stefan Kihlgren joined on second guitar in 2002 and original singer Ramin Farhadian was replaced by Mikael "Aron" Aronsson in 2003. Highlights of these four years were several festival appearences alongside bands such as DISMEMBER and THE HAUNTED and a gig in Zola Predosa, Italy.

In 2004 MY OWN GRAVE signed a deal for one full-length album with Karmageddon Media (ex-Hammerheart Records) and the debut "Unleash" was recorded in the fall/winter of 2004 at Necromorbus Studio with producer Widda of DIABOLICAL. Due to turbulent times at Karmageddon the album wasn't released until January 2006 and soon after the label seemingly went out of business.

This of course screwed up promotion and tour plans and so MY OWN GRAVE decided to play along and begin writing new material. In the autumn of 2006 they contacted Pulverised Records and an agreement was made. The new material will spawn a five-song EP entitled "Unholy", produced once again at Necromorbus by Widda and the release is set to early 2007. The main lyrical theme is once again an attack against the hypocritical world of organized religion.

In December 2006 MY OWN GRAVE did a shorter European tour supporting SETHERIAL and this year they will focus mainly on Scandinavia. So far 11 shows are booked including six days in April supporting VITAL REMAINS.
