Apocalyptic Witchcraft is proud to share that we have signed Australian black metal masters Graveir and are preparing to release their absolutely devilish new record "The Festering Triad"!

Formed in the oppressive heat of Brisbane in 2014, Graveir have become a distinctive voice in the Australian black metal underground. Known for their bleakly unorthodox approach, the band melds dissonant, muscular riffing with twisted melodies underpinned by constant tension. Eschewing imitation in favor of forging their own sound, Graveir have built a formidable reputation through a string of intense releases and live performances that radiate malignant unease.

“The Festering Triad” stands as the band’s most corrosive and focused statement to date, eight tracks of venomous invective, driven by convulsing guitars, serpentine bass lines, and relentless, anxiety-laced drumming. A conceptual reflection on the decay of power and the festering rot of society, the album soundtracks the crumbling of empires and the corruption of those who rule them.

The band states: “This record is a harbinger of collapse — a soundtrack to a world burning from the inside out,”

They go on to say: “We’re excited to be working with Apocalyptic Witchcraft. Their artist-first philosophy and commitment to quality over quantity aligns with everything we value. Extreme metal from the UK and Australia often exists in the shadows — powerful, creative, and criminally underrated. Together, we aim to change that.”

Conor Droney, founder of Apocalyptic Witchcraft Recordings, adds: “Graveir are a striking example of the left-field, boundary-defying extreme metal emerging from Australia, often overlooked, yet consistently innovative and unrelenting. We’re proud to welcome them to the label.”

The Festering Triad is scheduled for release in 2026. Further details, including artwork, track listing, and pre-orders, will be announced soon.
