This young and restless Italian Black Metal trio is ready to wage war upon us armed with their violent debut offering.
Born from the need to bring to mortals the truest war spirit, Northern Italy-based Black/Death Metal horde Ignobleth, whose young members are only 16 and 17 years old, merges fast and frenetic riffs and blast beats to slow and macabre sections in order to create a sinister and obscure atmosphere. Now in 2024 it’s time for vocalist and bassist Bloodlord Ixiataaga, guitarist Nex VII, and drummer Kommander Baal to crush our damned souls with their debut EP Voidspawn Sacrifice, offering us all 15 minutes of what they like to label as “War Metal” in a fun and vibrant album nicely recorded at Atomic Arts Studios and co-produced with Sulphur Music.
The ominous intro Golgotha VII will take you to the Stygian world ruled by Ignobleth, darkening your putrid souls before they attack you with Bestial Witchery, a venomous Black Metal extravaganza that sounds taken from the glory of the 80’s and 90’s, although the band members were all born in the 2000’s, and where Bloodlord Ixiataaga’s gruesome vocals sound demonic while always accompanied by the ruthless riffs by Nex VII. Then adding elements of Doom Metal to their already infernal sonority it’s time for the cryptic, sulfurous Omen Of A Nuclear Spell, with Kommander Baal taking the lead with his sluggish and heavy-as-hell beats. Lastly, back to a more visceral, demented sound, the band brings forth the Black Metal onrush Wrathful Eradication, inviting us all to worship Satan while slamming into the circle pit to their solid fusion of Black and Death Metal, spearheaded by the guttural roars by Bloodlord Ixiataaga.
The infernal trio formed of Bloodlord Ixiataaga, Nex VII and Kommander Baal is waiting for you in their Stygian lair on Facebook and on Instagram, where you can get more details about their underground black masses (also known as live performances), and you can definitely put your dirty hands on Voidspawn Sacrifice by purchasing it from the Masked Dead Records’ BandCamp or webstore. It’s really cool to see fresh young blood crafting high quality Black Metal, paving a great future ahead of the band and the genre, and may those talented Italian musicians keep waging war with more of their caustic music in the form of several thrilling albums like their debut EP in the coming years.
