Grave Doll is a two-piece band from New Plymouth, New Zealand. Originally starting out as a solo project, Grave Doll evolved into a full two-piece following its first live performances in 2026.
Built around heavy riffs, distorted guitars and relentless chug, Grave Doll pulls influence from across the punk, rock, metal and hardcore spectrum. The result is a sound the band has dubbed “Thrash Rock” – riff-driven, aggressive and unapologetically loud.
While two-piece bands are often built around a bass-heavy foundation, Grave Doll puts the guitar front and centre. Their music walks the line between grunge, punk, metal and hardcore, creating something that feels both fresh and strangely familiar.
Listeners often find themselves reminded of a favourite band from the 90’s – but Grave Doll’s songs are entirely original, blending those familiar influences into a sound of their own.
Original. Riff-heavy. Familiar, but not quite what you remember.
Catch Grave Doll live and see what the noise is all about.
