Grave Pact is a melodic death metal and deathcore outfit from Tarbes in southwestern France, formed in 2024 and blending timeless metal roots with a modern, devastating sonic approach. Their tracks explore dreamlike and introspective lyrical themes set against raw, crushing instrumentation.
Formed in Helsinki, Finland in 2010 as Beastmilk, the band released the acclaimed debut album Climax before reconstituting as Grave Pleasures in March 2015 following a significant lineup shift. Led by vocalist Mat McNerney, their sound melds post-punk rhythms, death rock atmosphere, and gothic hooks into a danceable but macabre framework. Dreamcrash (2015) on Metal Blade, Motherblood (2017) on Profound Lore, and Plagueboys (2023) have each refined their formula of apocalyptic melody and punk immediacy.
