Hanging Garden
The Garden
Hanging Garden is a Finnish band who formed in 2004, starting out as a heavy, doom-oriented project. Roughly two decades, seven albums and a couple of line-up shuffles later, the band shifted to a more melodic, contemporary sound, surrounded by a veil of melancholy. The compositions are dark, atmospheric and emotional, and concomitantly lean towards open-minded and playful musicality. While entrenched in metal's doom, gothic and melodeath branches, Hanging Garden displays a versatile, many-layered style of playing, packs male and female vocals, and draws influence & inspiration from music and art, far and wide. 'The Garden' dives deep into atmospheres both tender and harsh, devilish and serene and embarks upon a journey to mankind's spiritual roots, contemplating the fragility of technological society, according to the band.
