Italian black metal band Orgg, known for their evocative exploration of the alpine front of the First World War, is proud to announce an updated lineup as they prepare for their upcoming third studio album, set for release in 2025.
Formed in 2018, Orgg was born out of a desire to capture the excruciating pain and brutal reality of the First World War. Obviously, focusing on the fierce battles between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Italy in the Dolomitic Alps. The band’s music merges local lore with historical events, highlighting the stark contrast between the horrors of war and the majestic natural landscape of the Alps. Orgg’s mission is not to glorify war, but to celebrate nature’s resilience against the destructive actions of humankind.
