Italian experimental black metal band Incantvm will drop a new album in February 2025, via My Kingdom Music. Titled Maleficia, the five track new vicious album is the Italians’ second release, coming three years after the debut full-length, Strigae. Today, the band has revealed the tracklist and the cover artwork of the album. Undoubtedly, a great photo by Riccardo Ziosi with Carlotta Vignocchi as evil model.
If with their previous album Strigae, Incantvm shaped their black metal with classical music and parts narrated in a very theatrical way, with Maleficia the music becomes the absolute protagonist… Indeed, thanks to atmospheres full of pathos and terrifying perceptions, esoteric ritual sounds, dark sceneries, doom elements and old school extreme Metal, everything their avantgarde black metal feeds on! Thus, the resulting product makes the band an absolutely unique creature in the international musical scene.
Maleficia is the darkest and most eclectic manifestation of the creative genius of Vittorio Sabelli… And those who walked this way with him into the darkest folds of extreme music, starting from Tenebra (Dreariness) on vocals. Also, continuing with Samael Von Martin and Nequam with their vocal interpretations, Lorenzo Mastrogiuseppe, Luca Tiraterra, and Marco Molino with their rhythmic elements. It is a pure and simple piece of art, an incredibly unique and exclusive album for very open-minded people. Indeed, a journey that sets no stylistic or temporal limits… Moreover, one that reaches straight into the sick soul of those who can perceive it.

1. Rinascita
