Gradience

“We’re beyond excited to welcome Gradience to the Metal Blade family,” says EU label manager Markus “Bart” Grasseck. “Their innovation, intensity, and fearless creativity embody everything we stand for. The future of heavy music runs through bands like this.”

The band’s debut EP Ironsight – praised by Metal Hammer UK as “a tease of Gradience’s grizzly potential” – has been nominated for EP of the Year at the 2024 Danish Heavy Awards, with GRADIENCE also recognized as a nominee for the Hope of the Year award. Earlier this year, they performed at the exclusive When Copenhell Freezes Over showcase hosted by Copenhell at the legendary VEGA venue in Copenhagen.

Metal Hammer UK also hailed their debut single “This Abyss” as: “Astounding… Gradience are exactly that – the Danish duo mixing hip hop and explosive black metal with both elements delivered to the highest quality.”

Following impactful collaborations with Hexis (“Crushed By The Tide“) and UK’s Love Is Noise (“Save Me“), GRADIENCE continues to break boundaries with each release – and now, under the wing of Metal Blade Records, their next chapter is set to be their most ferocious yet.
