“Hardening of the Heart” is about the emotional aftermath after a devastating loss. All that remains are shattered dreams and emptiness. The song represents the darker and personal side of GRACELESS.

Relentless powerhouse GRACELESS’ new album Icons Of Ruin out May 30th is the band’s most groundbreaking release to date! Massively produced, it boats crushing, unrelenting, large-scale, bombastic sonic destruction!

“Icons of Ruins is exactly what GRACELESS should sound like. This is us”, says drummer Marc Verhaar. The songs are destined to be more than just tracks; they are anthems, rallying cries for those who are also witnessing the world around them crumble and burn. “GRACELESS has become much more than a regular death metal band”, says Jasper. “We couldn’t be more proud of this album”, concludes frontman & founder David Kreft.
