The Finnish melancholic metal band Garden of Stone is set to release their debut album “The Grave Mistake” on November 29th 2024 via Inverse Records. “Waiting for the Dawn” is the second single taken from the upcoming album. A music video is made for the track and it’s available below.
The band comments:
“The song contrasts clean emotional ambience and angelic singing with massive riffs and violent screams, serving as a testament to the band’s musicianship.
“Waiting for the Light” depicts a life overwhelmed by suffering and chaos, symbolized by darkness and entrapment. The protagonist expresses a longing for hope and redemption, continually waiting for the light to break through their torment. The recurring themes of violence, false hope, and the search for escape highlight a deep sense of despair and the struggle for salvation.”
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 later in 2024 after a series of singles.
