Giant’s Knife is a progressive metal band from Minnesota’s Twin Cities, blending heaviness, melody, and atmosphere.
They formed in 2016 under the name Oracle before changing to Giant’s Knife. In 2021, they released their self-produced instrumental debut album Oracle. Their 2025 follow-up, At the End of All Things, added harsh & melodic vocals and took their sound in a darker, more intense direction.
The band explores themes of isolation, transformation, and the collapse of inner and outer worlds. Their lyrics often paint vivid, introspective landscapes that blend existential weight with mythic undertones. Across their work, there’s a sense of searching through ruin, confronting what’s left behind, and finding meaning in the aftermath.
