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.
