So, you want to get into Italian Metal?
Who the fuck has ever asked for that? Anyways, here’s some recommendations:
Mortuary Drape
Old School Black Metal band, I highly recommend the albums “All the Witches Dance”, “Tolling 13 Knell”, and “Secret Sudaria”.
Sadist
Excellent Progressive Death Metal. Extremely technical and yet soulful.
Death SS
Despite the unfortunate name, they are NOT Nazis. The “SS” is short for “Steve Sylvester”, as in “The Death of Steve Sylvester”. Now since that’s out of the way, their music is more in the vein of traditional heavy metal with a tinge of doom, that sonically wouldn’t be too unbefitting next to First-Wave Black Metal.
Abysmal Grief
Doom Metal that’s heavily reliant on the “Church Organ” setting on keyboards. If you’re looking for something slow and yet spooky, this might be up your alley (although personally I’d just listen to some of the doomier Type O songs).
Cultus Sanguine
Doom Metal. I like to think of this band as a cousin to Abysmal Grief, in that they’re instrumentally similar with the main difference being the anguished vocals. Same appeal as Abysmal Grief, although the songs do get a bit same-y.
Gargoyle
A mix of extreme metal and traditional doom metal. Would definitely highly recommend. Unfortunately they’re not on Spotify, so I can’t put them on my playlists as much as I’d want to.
That’s all I have for now! You might ask, “Wait, where’s [blank]! They’re widely known and important to the Italian metal scene!” and the answer is they probably suck ass (I’m looking at you, Lacuna Coil). This is mainly just my personal taste, anyways.

We ran
Into the sky
On silver birds
We built to fly
And We
So very few
Left it behind
For something new
On the world
We knew as home
The fires burned
And water rose
Foolish man
Made dust of sand
Oh Albatross
We fell
Out of the stars
On Martian soil
We tilled our hearts
Four hundred moons
We lived as one
Until Earth's men
Put out the sun
On the world
We knew as home
The fires burned
And water rose
Foolish man
Made dust of sand
Oh Albatross
Waiting out the coldest days on Mars…
