Graveland is a Polish black metal band which was formed in 1992 by Rob Darken (born Robert Fudali). Darken, who started Graveland as a solo project, was inspired by early black metal such as Bathory and Burzum's early works. Starting with Thousand Swords, the band took on a powerful folk influence; as a result, Graveland's later works have sometimes been described as viking metal or pagan metal.

Graveland has also been associated with the National Socialist black metal movement in the past, though Darken has since distanced himself from it.
