Hailing from Ravenna, the band delivers a searing hybrid of crust punk and extreme metal — tense, raw, and brutally honest, yet layered with dramatic melodic overtones. Their songs are short and punchy, but never rushed, allowing their ideas to unfold with deliberate intensity. The band’s upcoming debut explores the contrast between two spiritual worlds: the harmony - centered pagan traditions and the legacy of Abrahamic religions, which often channel humani ty’s most violent instincts. While pagan rites served to express and contain primal forces, maintaining balance between humankind and nature, monotheistic dogmas have frequently justified war and destruction in the name of faith. This work stands as a trib ute to life, to the sacred bond between people and the natural world — a bond shattered by centuries of religious conflict.
