NOCTURNAL GRAVES were formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2004. Two well-received demos, “Profanation of Innocence” and “Deathstorm” followed in the same year. Quickly scoring a record deal, the band officially released the “Necromancer” 7″ in 2006 before unleashing their debut full-length “Satan’s Cross” the following year.
The Australians hit Europe in 2009 and celebrated the event with “The Gravespirit Sessions” split. Former DESTRÖYER 666 and RAZOR OF OCCAM guitarist Shrapnel as well, as drummer L.W. joined in 2012.
NOCTURNAL GRAVES widely extended their international fanbase with the release of sophomore album “…From the Bloodline of Cain” (2014), which resulted in an invitation to the 2016 edition of Maryland Deathfest and more shows in the US. The band supported the tour with a limited 7″ EP “Sharpen the Knives / Lead us to the Endless Fire”.
Currently, NOCTURNAL GRAVES are getting ready to conquer the world with their forthcoming third full-length to be released in 2018 on Season of Mist.
