PONTE DEL DIAVOLO bridges the gap between two separate worlds.
The Italian band proposes a Doom / Black metal sound with old-school roots, adding a modern and outside the box background. The female voice – with strong dark wave influences – is the lyric corpus of this strongly esoteric project. The solid presence of two bassists creates the massive foundation for the rhythmic guitar, everything marked by a raw and dynamic drumming.
Mystery of Mystery / Secret live session marked the quintet’s debut EP. It was recorded live and without editing at Dracma Studio with the producer L’Ossario in their home base of Turin in March 2020. “I” was released on the web by Iopan Records. It was soon followed by their second-ever single, “The Wickedest Woman In the World”.
At the end of 2021, PONTE DEL DIAVOLO recorded their second EP, Sancta Menstruis at Deepest Sea Studio in Turin with Danilo Battocchio. The first single, “The Unborn”, arrived in February 2022.
The band’s third EP, Ave Scintilla!, was also recorded in Turin. This time around, they reconvened at Dracma Studio with L’Ossario.
Now that they’ve signed with Season of Mist, PONTE DEL DIAVOLO are ready to release their debut album. Fire Blades From the Tombforges classic, cultish doom metal with modern bents of post-punk. Lead single and opening track “Demone” is whipped along by a boiled black bass line and dark-wave induced vocals.
Italian dark-arts collective PONTE DEL DIAVOLO announce the upcoming release of their new album, De Venom Natura. Following the impact of their acclaimed debut Fire Blades From the Tomb (2024), the Turin-based ensemble now enter a bolder phase of their evolution. Their signature fusion of doom, black metal, post-punk and wave is pushed into even more confrontational territory, driven by a sharpened production aesthetic and the band’s distinctive dual-bass attack. The band describes the ethos behind their new direction succinctly:
Turin’s maestros of esoteric, doom-laden alchemy, PONTE DEL DIAVOLO, are set to cast their infernal spell across Europe in 2025. Following the colossal wave of support for their haunting debut, Fire Blades from the Tomb, the band is primed to ignite the continent’s most revered metal festivals with their unrivaled brand of black & doom metal.
With shadows as their scepter and darkness their domain, PONTE DEL DIAVOLO emerges once more from the stygian depths to cast their spell across Europe. Entwined in the mysteries of their craft, this esoteric ensemble is set to ignite the stage with “FIRE BLADES FROM THE TOMB Part II,” their hauntingly anticipated tour beginning this fall.
Ponte Del Diavolo bridge the gap between two nefarious corners of the underworld. On their debut album, these death dealers weld doom and black metal into a towering new wave of art that’s as cruel and mesmerizing as Italy’s infamous Devil’s Bridge.
