I am Introducing you: Mortuary Drape, the Occult Italian black metal band that has been shredding since mid 80s. Despite being underground for most of their journey, their music is truly unparalleled. With intricacy and dark energy blended together seamlessly, it's a shame that many are not yet familiar with their work. Whether you're an ardent follower or discovering them afresh, prepare to be enveloped in a dark, unique and immersive musical experience...

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.
