Graveworm

about

Graveworm is an Italian blackened gothic metal band formed in 1992 in Brunico, South Tyrol. The band secured a recording contract with Serenades Records before releasing a demo, following a performance near their hometown. In 1997, they released their debut EP, "Eternal Winds", and promoted their first full-length album, "When Daylight's Gone", during a tour alongside Crematory, Therion, and Lake of Tears. In 1998, Graveworm released the EP "Underneath the Crescent Moon", which included a guest appearance by Sarah Jezebel Deva (known for her work with Cradle of Filth and Therion) on the track "Awake...Thy Angels of Sorrow". That same year, the band performed at Germany's Wacken Open Air festival with acts such as Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, and Vader. Their second studio album, "As the Angels Reach the Beauty", was completed in 1999 and supported by a European tour with Agathodaimon. The 2001 release of "Scourge of Malice" marked the band's first headlining tour, joined by Dornenreich, Vintersorg, and Darkwell. In 2002, Graveworm transitioned to the German label Nuclear Blast. Around this time, bassist Didi Schraffel left the group, and guitarist Harry Klenk was replaced by Eric Treffel, who was in turn succeeded by Eric Righi. With Righi, the band recorded the 2003 album "Engraved in Black", which included a cover of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion". Following the album's release, guitarist Stefan Unterpertinger departed and was replaced by Lukas Flarer. Former guita
