Fueled by a raw punk spirit and forged in the shadow of decay, deliver blistering death metal soaked in tension, rot and filth. Their tracks erupt with scathing, unpolished energy, conjuring a foul stench that lingers long after the music stops. With a sound that channels the putrid legacy of bands like Autopsy, Undergang, Cianide, Morbific and Noroth, “Vermian Death” is an uncompromising slab of be***al rage!

GRAVE HEX was (de)formed in Helsinki in March 2024 by Matti (of hardcore band Vainoa), Miikka (Vainoa), and Martti (ex-Loka, ex-Radien), united by a shared vision of primal, worm-ridden death metal. Songwriting took off like a spontaneous blaze, and the material for the debut release came together quickly - written and rehearsed in short order, then recorded over three sessions during the summer of 2024. The result, “Vermian Death”, is a crushing torrent of metal, steeped in cavernous soundscapes and feral lyrical themes. Shortly after completing the album, the band welcomed Hanna on bass and is now preparing to unleash their be***al death worship live in 2025.
