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. The fourth single ‘Ode to Rage’ is released today and it’s available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/gos-ode
Garden of Stone’s newest single “Ode to Rage” represents ferocity, rawness and irresistible catchiness packaged into one song. The band reaches new heights of headbanging aggression with savage riffs and furious drumming, while making sure to give the listener huge vocal lines to sing along to. In true Garden of Stone fashion the song eventually provides a sanctuary amidst the chaos, as it settles down to a melancholically haunting bridge section, gradually developing into a grand crescendo as the song reaches its final chorus.
The band comments:
“The lyrics depict a man’s descent into a dark, self-destructive struggle, symbolized by relentless digging. His actions feel futile and isolating, with imagery of ashes and bones reflecting loss and despair. Despite searching for meaning, he feels trapped in his mistakes and regrets, resigned to a grim fate. The bridge offers a brief hope for redemption, but ultimately the man remains lost in his ordeal.”

BIOGRAPHY:
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.
