Bend, Oregon — 2013. Chris Fleming and Andrew Ingraham first raised the banners of

Gravewitch in the heart of Oregon's shadowed high desert; the world of blackened thrash metal

wasn’t exactly waiting for them—but it should’ve been. Their unholy alliance would go on to

carve a jagged path through a decade of turmoil, triumph, and relentless performance,

delivering a brutal fusion of thrash, black, death, and melodic metal that strikes with the fury of

an avalanche and the cold precision of a blade through bone.

From the very beginning, Gravewitch—born as a two-piece with Fleming on guitar/vocals and

Ingraham on drums—laid the foundation for something far darker than their humble beginnings

suggested. Their sound, a storm of buzzing riffs, blast beats, and unyielding growls, evolved

with each release and performance, folding in elements from legends like Kreator, Testament,

Amon Amarth, Emperor, and Vader. The chemistry between the founding duo was undeniable,

but as they expanded, they brought in bassist Doug Green, who helped solidify their thunderous

live presence.

The music, like the band itself, is unrelenting—a blend of old-school thrash’s speed and

aggression, black metal’s cold, atmospheric darkness, and the weight of death metal’s hammer.

Fleming’s lyrics are just as aggressive, each track an exploration of battle, rebellion, and

darkness, all delivered with a razor-sharp edge. "Circle of Power," their anthemic fan favorite,

serves as a testament to their unyielding spirit, always present in their setlists, a grim

declaration of their musical fire.
