Still by typical joseph Black metallic element standards, since their origination in 1992 Poland's Graveland have managed to pee away an inordinately large identification number of citizenry because of their too right wing (read: Nazi-sympathizing) government. Primarily the crop of vocalist/guitarist Darken (aka Robert Fudali), Graveland number ace gave voice to their infidel misanthropy (and other stupidities named higher up) via a turn of demos leading up to 1994's Carpathian Wolves record record album. With bassist Karcharoth and drummer Capricorn tributary to the band's quite sloppy, lo-fi approach (akin to primitive Bathory), subsequent efforts like 1996's The Celtic Winter, 1998's Following the Part of Blood, and 2001's Prawo Stali (completely released by the No Colors label) were met with understandable boycotts by the mainstream media. Throw in the occasional visit to the mental institution to insure with his "issues," and you hardly have the ingredients for a successful sprightliness history, or yet a fair appreciation of Graveland's medicine.
