BIOGRAPHY/LOGO

Gravery is an Italian downtempo deathcore band formed in Milan in 2023. Emerging from the underground extreme metal scene of Northern Italy, the band quickly gained attention for their brutally aggressive sound, combining elements of downtempo deathcore, beatdown hardcore and modern death metal with crushing breakdowns and oppressive low-end heaviness.
The band was founded with the intention of creating uncompromising and disturbing music focused on themes such as psychological destruction, human darkness and inner violence. Their sound is intentionally raw, direct and suffocating, delivering an intense atmosphere inspired by both hardcore brutality and death metal extremity.
Gravery released their first singles Hate Is Now the Answer and Hell and Voices in 2024, quickly building momentum in the European underground scene. Their debut EP, Everything That Is Born Must Die, was released in August 2024 through Upstate Records in collaboration with Bloodblast/Nuclear Blast distribution. The EP featured production work from Davide Billia (Antropofagus, Hour of Penance), Steph “Orkid” Santi (Lacuna Coil) and Chris Whited (Bodysnatcher, Traitors).
Following the release, Gravery toured extensively across Europe and the UK, performing more than 50 live shows in multiple countries while steadily growing their international audience. Their violent live performances and crushing sound earned them recognition within the modern downtempo and beatdown deathcore scene.
In 2025 and 2026 the band continued their rise with new material including the singles A Fetish For The Graves and the EP Purified In Blood, further cementing their reputation as one of the heaviest new acts emerging from the Italian extreme metal underground.
