Gravepig is a death/thrash metal act from Nicosia, Cyprus, formed in 2015, delivering aggressive metal that draws from both death and thrash traditions. The project contributes to the small but fierce extreme metal scene on the island.
Graver is a black metal project from Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, formed in 2013, delivering raw black metal from the western German wine country. The project has maintained over a decade of underground black metal output.
Detroit's Graverape drag death-doom through the city's post-industrial wreckage, their slow-motion riffing carrying the weight of something truly decayed. Since 2020 they've cultivated a deliberately repellent sound that suits Motor City's abrasive character.
Graverest is a black metal project from London, formed in 2023. They channel raw black metal from the British capital's diverse extreme metal scene.
Amsterdam death metal outfit formed in 2014, unearthing old-school brutality from the Dutch capital's underground. Their grave-robbing thematic aesthetic matches a sound rooted in classic death metal traditions.
Originally formed in 2002 with ties to Phoenix, Arizona, Graves at Sea relocated to Portland, Oregon and built a slow-burning reputation across splits and EPs released through Southern Lord and 20 Buck Spin before a 2008 breakup and subsequent 2012 reunion. Their long-awaited debut full-length The Curse That Is finally arrived in 2016 on Relapse Records, a crushing hour-plus of sludge and doom metal nearly fifteen years in the making. The band drew on the Oregon and Oakland heavy underground, drawing comparisons to Eyehategod and Electric Wizard while maintaining a distinctly bleak Pacific Northwest character.
Graves in Autumn is a black metal project from Osnabruck, Germany, formed in 2012, channeling autumnal melancholy and decay through atmospheric black metal. The project's seasonal imagery reflects a contemplative approach to the genre.
Formed in Florence, South Carolina in December 2005, Graves of Valor featured members drawn from the Through the Eyes of the Dead circle and signed to Relapse Records for their sole album Salarian Gate, released in May 2009. The record offered technically focused death metal with thematic references to ancient Rome, standing as a compact and precise statement before the band dissolved due to lineup instability. Key members later resurfaced as Ditch Eel.
Gravescape is a black/death metal band from Toulouse, France, formed in 2024. They merge black metal atmosphere with death metal heaviness from the Pink City's growing extreme metal scene.
