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.

BIOGRAPHY:
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 in early 2025 after a series of singles.
