Released October 13, 2009 on Retroactive Records, this is the band's second full-length album.
Grave Robber is one of those bands that understands how to captivate! Whether they are wearing GWAR-like costumes in concert, dousing their fans with fake blood or running around with chainsaws, their music cuts to the heart of life and death! Their tunes are instantly sing-able, filled with insanely catchy harmonies, and mostly played at blazing speeds. But they go a step further and captivate with intelligent lyrics - all wrapped in their devotion and love for all things HORROR! Yet, there's more to Grave Robber than masks and horror, and fans that take time to unpack that mistique are in for quite a surprise!
Wretched (vokills) and company (Lamentor, Carcass, and Plague) are back with the band's sophomore full length, on which the band spikes their punk with a much more muscular and metallic edge! Every song is a hit, with the manic "I'm Possessed", melodic rock classic "The Night Has Eyes", rock-a-billy influenced "Tell Take Hearts" and the dark, sinister metal of "Valley Of Dry Bones," the band shockingly pulls off morbidly funny and real-life relevant! Horror punk metal got its start with the Misfits, but with Inner Sanctum, Grave Robber offers much, much more!
Track 12 "Children Of The Grave" is a cover of the Black Sabbath song, and is unlisted and un-credited anywhere within the liner notes. Also, this release comes as a "digihub", an eco-friendly 3-fold printed cardboard piece with a clear rubberized "hub" that the CD twists on and off.
Produced at T.T. Bush Studios
Mastering at Steinhaus
