Graveland is a Polish black metal band which was formed in 1992 by Rob Darken (born Robert Fudali). Darken, who started Graveland as a solo project, has been inspired by bands such as Bathory, Manilla Road, and In the Woods...^[1]. Starting with Thousand Swords, the band took on a powerful folk influence, and more specifically from soundtracks such as the Conan the Barbarian movie soundtrack; as a result, Graveland's later works have sometimes been described as viking metal or pagan metal. The lyrics of Graveland are strongly inspired by nature, paganism and nationalism.
