The Finnish melancholic metal band Garden of Stone is set to release their debut album ‘The Grave Mistake‘ on January 10th 2025 via Inverse Records.
Garden of Stone’s debut album, ‘The Grave Mistake‘, paints a musical landscape filled with savage riffs and aggression juxtaposed with mesmerizingly haunting melodies and ballads.
An amalgamation of death metal and melodic rock, ‘The Grave Mistake‘ is a testament to Garden of Stone’s genre-blending style of music, proving that the band is unafraid of branching out of their comfort zone while still remaining true to their roots.
Lyrically the album portrays a dystopian future ravaged by war, where each song represents a different scene witnessed by the main character as they travel across a desolate wasteland.
The listener is granted access to a deep dive into the human psyche, as hopelessness, despair and insanity slowly consume the final glimmers of light in the world, embracing the inevitable void.

‘Ode To Rage’

The Finnish melancholic metal band Garden of Stone is set to release their debut album ‘The Grave Mistake‘ on November 29th 2024 via Inverse Records.
The fourth single ‘Ode To Rage‘ has been released.
Garden of Stone’s newest single ‘Ode To Rage‘ represents ferocity, rawness and irresistible catchiness packaged into one song.
The band reaches new heights of headbanging aggression with savage riffs and furious drumming, while making sure to give the listener huge vocal lines to sing along to.
In true Garden of Stone fashion the song eventually provides a sanctuary amidst the chaos, as it settles down to a melancholically haunting bridge section, gradually developing into a grand crescendo as the song reaches its final chorus.
The band comments:
“The lyrics depict a man’s descent into a dark, self-destructive struggle, symbolized by relentless digging. His actions feel futile and isolating, with imagery of ashes and bones reflecting loss and despair. Despite searching for meaning, he feels trapped in his mistakes and regrets, resigned to a grim fate. The bridge offers a brief hope for redemption, but ultimately the man remains lost in his ordeal.”

The Finnish melancholic metal band Garden of Stone is set to release their debut album ‘The Grave Mistake‘ on November 29th 2024 via Inverse Records.
The third single ‘Daydream‘ has been released.
The band comments:
“Reminiscent of Garden of Stone’s first EP, ‘Daydream’ begins slowly, building the song from the ground up, adding more and more layers as the song progresses, providing the listener hints of the grand crescendo that awaits at the end. The lyrics depict a struggle with faith and freedom, using the metaphor of a bird with clipped wings to express a desire to break free from personal limitations. Themes of entrapment, defiance, and the pursuit of peace are woven throughout, culminating in a sense of empowerment and liberation.”
Garden of Stone is a melodic metal band that weaves together melancholic rock and heavy metal.
From the band you can expect brooding atmospheres, beautiful melodies, and face melting riffs.
The band was formed in 2023 when guitarists Jere Mäntysalo and Ville Penkari recruited Jesse Salo to sing and scream for their project.
Soon after, drummer Tapio Haverinen joined to keep the rhythm department in check.
The group was completed when bassist Kalle Hänninen joined to govern the lowest frequencies.
Garden of Stone published their debut EP, ‘Tides of Decay‘, in February of 2024.
The band is showing no signs of slowing down, as they are gearing up to release an LP later in 2024 after a series of singles.
