Extreme black metal from Wroclaw, Poland by Robert ‘Rob Darken’ Fudali.. They released six demos between January 92 to 94. Absurds frontman and convicted murderer Hendrik Mobus (a.k.a. Jarl Flagg Nidogg) had penned lyrics to a song called ‘White Hand’s Power’ which he gave to Graveland. This track and anothter track was released as a demo tape after the second album ‘Thousand Swords’. The track served to stoke controversy and the band got under some right wing politics scrutiny. No Colours released a third studio album with the the track on it under the same name as the demo ‘Following The Voice Of Blood’. The final album may very well be Graveland’s answer to Bathory’s ‘Blood, Fire, Death’ less from a strictly musical viewpoint than as an artistic transition point. Both albums see their respective composers moving from playing fast, chaotic black metal into the realm of slowe, more epic and more melodic Viking metal. Graveland’s album finds Darken effectively blending the two approaches throughout each of the album’s tracks, brewing a unique, though very, very recognizably Polish, kind of sound.
