Life Is a Grave & I Dig It! is the seventh studio album by the psychobilly band the Nekromantix, released in 2007 by Hellcat Records. It is the group's only album to include guitarist Tröy Deströy and drummer Andy DeMize, replacing brothers Peter and Kristian Sandorff who had left the band in 2005 after frontman Kim Nekroman's relocation to Los Angeles, California from the band's home country of Denmark.[2][3] Seven months after the album's release Deströy left the band to focus on a solo career and was replaced by guitarist Pete Belair of the Australian band Firebird.[4] In January 2009 Martinez was killed in an automobile accident.[5][6] He was replaced by Lux, formerly of Mystery Hangup and Sacred Storm.[7]

The album contains a fourteenth track which is unlisted on the album sleeve, an instrumental version of "Anaheim After Dark."
