Graveland are a Polish neo-Nazi[1] pagan black metal band which was formed in 1991 by Rob Darken (born Robert Fudali).

The lyrics and imagery of Graveland are strongly inspired by European mythology, nature, winter and war.

In 1993, drummer Maciej "Capricornus" Dąbrowski joined the band, which then recorded In the Glare of Burning Churches.

This album was recorded in December 1994 at Tuba Studio, Wrocław, "in the days of eternal winter & frozen night of full moon, at the gates of a new era".

Darken then founded his own label, Isengard (later Eastclan), and re-released an extended Thousand Swords on cassette.

The album's booklet contains statements against Lethal Records and two other bigger metal labels, Osmose and Nuclear Blast.

With the 1998 album, Immortal Pride (strongly influenced by the movie soundtrack of Conan the Barbarian), the band took on a folk style, while moving more into Viking metal.

Hour of Ragnarok the band's 13th studio album of original material was released on 23 August 2021 through Inferna Profundus Records.

I think that white men should search for new ideas that would be well adapted for the current reality and the problems of [the] contemporary world.

Due to these differences, we finally started to walk separate ways and Graveland became [a] one-man band again.
