Death metal act Public Grave released the first single, Human Organ Harvesting, from their upcoming album, Grotesque Mutations.

Public Grave is back with a powerful new chapter in their musical journey. The German death metal band has officially announced the release of their highly anticipated album, Grotesque Mutations, set to drop on February 28th, 2025. Grotesque Mutations delves into a post-apocalyptic world, overrun by zombies and grotesque transformations. Blending brutal grooves with unrestrained violence, the album remains true to the band’s roots, delivering the intense and relentless sound that Public Grave is famous for.

About the band

Public Grave was formed in 2008 in Fürstenfeldbruck, a town near Munich, Germany. What began as a casual group of friends united by their shared passion for death metal quickly evolved into the region’s only slam and groove death metal band. The four members of Public Grave are not just a cohesive force on stage but also in their creative process. Korny summons bloodthirsty tones on the bass, while Chris unleashes infernal chaos with his crushing guitar riffs. Beni drives the relentless wall of sound forward with punishing rhythms, providing the perfect foundation for Hamby‘s demonic and beastly vocals. Together, they create a devastating sonic avalanche from which there is no escape.

Over the past 16 years, the band has had the privilege of sharing the stage with a multitude of metal legends, including Disbelief, Master, AnalepsyHuman Vivisection, and many more. A defining highlight of their career was their performance at the Tolminator Festival 2024 in Slovenia, where Public Grave celebrated their international debut alongside scene heavyweights like Behemoth, Testament, and Exodus.

About the music

Inspired by genre icons such as Kataklysm and Six Feet Under, and driven by an unyielding fascination with all things undead, bloody, and grotesque, Public Grave’s music embodies every death metal axiom with ruthless precision. In recent years, the band has made it their mission to bridge the gap between death metal and slam. Indeed, a feat they accomplish with an unforgiving fusion of brutal grooves and raw, unrestrained violence.

Their latest album, Grotesque Mutations, is the follow-up to Cadaverous Resurrection, representing the band’s relentless evolution. Thematically and musically, it delves deeper into the apocalyptic vision of a world collapsing into total ruin. With neck-breaking grooves and a monstrous sound polished to perfection, the album hits like a heavy sledgehammer! Indeed, delivered with precision and full force straight into the zombie gob.

About the new album

Grotesque Mutations paints a harrowing picture of a world plunged into utter chaos following a zombie apocalypse. Overrun by zombies and their grotesque mutations, this world showcases a bleak vision of decay. Thus, the album delves into various atrocities committed by both the dwindling number of survivors and the ever-growing zombie hordes, with both sides contributing to the grim atmosphere of this post-apocalyptic landscape. The omnipresent depravity and profound hopelessness of the scenario are explored in depth and brought to life with grotesque lyrics.

In the track Human Organ Harvesting, for example, the brutal actions of a group of survivors are described as they go to extreme lengths to secure their existence. Hunting, capturing, and harvesting organs from other humans, they use these resources for sustenance in their desperate bid to survive.

With Grotesque MutationsPublic Grave sets another milestone in their musical journey, expanding their macabre cabinet of horrors with eight groovy sledgehammers (seven songs plus an intro) that will shatter your neck into a thousand splintered pieces—both live and on record.
