Adorned Graves is a band from Germany who love their old-school metal sound with some twists and turns. Founded in 1993 by brothers Cailen and Deafon in defiance of the burgeoning grunge scene, the band name was changed from Ascension to Adorned Graves in 1998 and a private demo recorded. “Demo `98” had all the trademarks of “the Graves” – epic, melodic, furious, dark, doomy. A pivotal moment came in 2011 when guitarist, music teacher and producer Wormser joined the brothers. Things just clicked and the trio issued their first official release “The Hand Of Death” EP in 2015, showcasing their originality and diversity. The 2017 epic full-length “Out From The Depth Of The Grave“ displayed even more of the band’s depth of talent. A few years later “Being Towards A River” was released, reverting to more of an old-school speed/thrash sound. 2023 saw Adorned Graves treading old and new paths alike with their full-length “The Earth Hath Opened Her Mouth“. Musically, we got more of their trademark epic doom thrash. The twist? They achieved the impossible by using 10 different renowned vocalists on an album that flows seamlessly from start to finish. Such was the accomplishment that “The Earth Hath Opened Her Mouth“ was regularly spotted on “Best of 2023” metal lists worldwide. In celebration of ten years of Adorned Graves music, mid-2025 saw the release of a new EP – “Dream I”. They marked the occasion by going back to their roots with true-traditional-100%-old-school metal.

Not letting up, late 2025 will now see the release of a limited edition Adorned Graves vinyl. Titled “Wouta”, it is remixed, remastered and revocalized versions of the best songs off their “Out From The Depth Of The Grave” and “Being Towards A River” albums. Guest vocalists include the likes of Chris Ackerman (Betrayal), Herbie Langhans (Seventh Avenue) and Dale Thompson (Bride), giving this album the stamp of excellence. With only 110 pressed – on 180g vinyl – you will want to get in on this one quick!
