My Kingdom Music is proud to announce the signing of doom/black metal cult act Nihili Locus! The legendary Italian act will release their new album titled Semper on May 9th. It is what we can consider the band’s first true full-length album, after the demos, EP and singles of the early 90s, a digital mini-album from 2010 and some compilations of the last decade. This is the album that will consecrate the band for years enshrouded in their cult status shadow… Now, finally, they are ready to emerge in all its dark greatness.
Semper will come out in digipak CD, LP and tape and in the same date My Kingdom Music will release Nihil Morte Certium, a Gatefold 2 LP with all their discography completely remastered. Including Mors, never released in physical format. Moreover, a celebratory Box titled Ineffabilis Memoriae Regurgitatio will be out. It will include all the already mentioned new and old stuff, plus exclusive merchandise and for the first time on vinyl the demo Premature Exequie out in 1991 when the band’s name was Omicidio, first Nihili Locus‘ incarnation.
Nihili Locus, a name doom and black metal fans are no strangers to
They came from Turin area and emerged from the band Omicidio, formed in 1989, with Massimo Currò (bass), Mauro Veronese (guitar), Bruno Blasi (vocals) and Roberto Ripollino (drums).
After the recordings of the demo Premature Exequie in 1991, the band change their name in Nihili Locus. Later, in 1992 Valeria De Benedictis (guitar) joined in. The group released quite soon the 7″EP Sub Hyerosolima… distributed by Obscure Plasma Records. In 1994 they released the concept tape …Advesperascit… which led them to have their first official contract with Boundless Recs, for the release of the MCD …Ad Nihilum Recidunt Omnia in 1996. This one, the band recorded with keyboardist Simone Fanciotto.
In the years to come, the group’s activity was very unstable. However, until 2009, when they found themselves in an essential formation with the original members Massimo Currò, Mauro Veronese, and Roberto Ripollino. With this lineup, they recorded Mors, only available for free download online. The latest years, the band concentrated on the conception, creation and recording of the new album Semper. Finally, this release will allow the band to reap the fruits of a career always characterized by a melancholic pathos… Also, embodied in a dark sonorous extremism.
