GRAVERIPPER RELEASE "FROM WELKIN TO TUNDRA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Graveripper

From Welkin To Tundra

Wise Blood Records

17 October 2025

Indianapolis thrashers GRAVERIPPER have been the soundtrack for post-apocalyptic extinction since forming in 2019. Since then they established themselves as one of black thrash’s most ferocious upcoming bands with their blazing Radiated Remains EP, a spot on the long sold-out Faster Than the Fucking Devil split, and their scorching first full-length (Seasons Dreaming Death).

Now these Midwestern speed demons return with their bleakest and heaviest record yet, From Welkin to Tundra. As a genre, black thrash is usually light on actual black metal influence. But Graveripper is a different beast. This album’s chilling atmosphere and dark edge invokes IMMORTAL, CARPATHIAN FOREST, and AURA NOIR as much as MOTORHEAD or MIDNIGHT.

 “From Welkin to Tundra is a blackened, cold, furious assault that captures Graveripper’s distinct style of blending Black and Thrash metal better than any release yet,” vocalist/guitarist Corey Parks describes. “From the dreadful opening track, to the blazing “burn the house down” closer, this record is a sonic assault of Black Thrash ‘N’ Roll that I am very proud of.”

Even the album’s stunning cover art by Adam Burke feels like a classic black metal landscape with its shadowy elegance. The painting illustrates the album’s title, reflecting heaven reduced to a frozen wasteland. It’s a bleak concept that perfectly fits GRAVERIPPER’s vicious approach and From Welkin to Tundra’s darker sound. With two new members in the ranks (Steven Garcia on bass, and Nick James on drums), GRAVERIPPER's ready to conjure endless winter with this record.

From Welkin to Tundra unleashes hell on October 17, 2025. Available on Vinyl, CD, Cassette, and Digital from Wise Blood Records.
