Retro Grave was born from Jeff Oly Olson, a percussion artist from the international doom metal band, Trouble, in which he was a founding member along with vocalist Eric Wagner, bassist, Sean McAllister and guitarists Bruce Franklin and Rick Wartell. Drawing from Black Sabbath for inspiration (with occasional nods to the psychedelic sounds of the late '60s thrown in for good measure), the band used gloomy down-tuned riffs and spiritual, often openly religious lyrics, which earned them the title, "The Grandfather’s of Doom Metal.â€
The release of Trouble's debut, Psalm 9, in 1984 and the The Skull following in 1985 soon led to the departure of Olson to pursue teaching music while simultaneously writing musical scores, recording and releasing on his own label, Upland Recording, and later receiving a BM degree in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music while still participating in all of Trouble's future albums with the exception of "Manic Fustration" recorded in 1992." RIP Barry Stern.
Olson has toured internationally with Trouble, since 1979, headlining shows throughout the US and performing at numerous music festivals throughout Europe that included the infamous 1995 Dynamo Open Air Festival in front of a staggering record high audience for Dynamo of over 118,000 people.
Escapi Music will release Trouble's new album, Simple Mind Condition, in June 2007 and the band will be performing in Europe and the USA in support of their new album throughout the year.During tour, Oly will be scheduling US drum clinics for the later part of 2007 and throughout 2008 while writing and recording his new debut full-length solo album, "Again," for Retro Grave. The self-tiltled EP, Retro Grave, is now available. Moreover, Oly is in production with his soon to be released instructional drumming DVD's. More to follow...
