Graveland is a Polish pagan and black metal band that has been influential in the metal music scene, particularly within the European underground. Founded in 1992 by Rob Darken (Robert Fudali), who has been the primary force and consistent member throughout the band's existence, Graveland's music and thematic elements revolve largely around Paganism, Slavic mythology, and Viking history, with a notorious reputation for nationalism and strong right-wing beliefs often woven into their work.

Throughout its career, Graveland has gone through various transformations, both in style and public image, but has maintained a steady output of releases that have cemented its status among fans of black metal and Pagan metal. Some of their most recent work includes “Awakening of the Storms” and “Hour of Ragnarok”, which showcase the band's continued commitment to producing epic, atmospheric soundscapes complemented by historical and mythological lyricism. Other notable releases such as “Pagan Cult Never Dies (Live from Quito)” capture the raw energy of Graveland's live performances, while “1050 Years of Pagan Cult” and “Thunderbolts of the Gods” reflect on the band's deep fascination with ancestral European beliefs. Despite the controversy that often shadows them, Graveland remains a distinguished name in their genre, with a dedicated following and a proliferate discography that stands testament to their enduring impact on the metal musical landscape.
