- DAY: 08.06

- GENRE: black metal, punk rock
- COUNTRY: Poland
One of the Owls Woods Graves songs is “Haunted Woods Hardcore,” and it must be said that the title is quite an apt description of their artistic output. This project, which was started in 2015, allowed The Fall and E.V.T. to find a bridge that brings together the cold of black metal and the abrasive, direct character of punk rock. It’s the kind of band that will offer you tremolo pick scrapes, blasts like that of hooligan oi! and dancing gloom like that by Misfits. During their performance, we will all become anti-Christian rowdies.
History:
Owls Woods Graves was formed in 2015 in Kraków. The forefathers of the project, that is The Fall and E.V.T., have collaborated before, for example in Medico Peste. They decided that they would like to start something that was still metal, but a lot closer to punk than the other projects they are involved in.
Just a year later, the duo released the self-titled EP that, alongside the now-signature hit song it produced “Do You Deny the Evil?,” gained the band a lot of traction in the metal underground. Paired with a good concept and even better visuals, the band’s music started to get discovered by younger listeners too. Further evidence of the band’s growing success came with their first full-length album, “Citizenship of the Abyss” (2019), but the real boom came three years later with their sophomore album, “Secret Spies of the Horned Patrician”. It was with the release of this record that Owls Woods Graves doubled their size, with Mgła’s M. and Narbo Dacal’s B.K. joining the now four-piece band, and they started to perform live. As the recent tour with Furia, Zamilska and Krzta proved, it was the perfect decision.
