Italian black metallers FERALIA will be releasing their new album, “Under Stige / Over Dianam”, on April 28th 2022 via Time To Kill Records, making it the band’s debut to the label.
The band is now sharing the lyric video for the album track “Vigil”. Watch/listen at THIS LOCATION.
“Under Stige” embodies the black metal essence of the work in a more traditional way. It is a darker and more atmospheric record compared to the debut “Helios Manifesto”, this is also due to the arrival of the new singer/guitarist Erymanthon and the new drummer P.
The setting and mood of the album is that of the rituality of Death and the Afterlife in Ancient Roman traditions, and the music accompanies this atmosphere with both fierce, violent passages and slower, heavier ones. Melody is present throughout the whole record, defining this hybrid between traditional Scandinavian Black Metal and a more modern, personal touch.
As “Under Stige” is extreme, nocturnal, ritualistic and manly, “Over Dianam” develops in the opposite direction. Four folk-oriented tracks that carry more of a bright, ambient, feminine mood, overall giving life to a play of opposites that is the essence to the new album.
Agghiastru of Inchiuvatu and Haavard of Dold Vorde Ens Navn, ex-Ulver, ex-Satyricon appear as special guests, the former in “Laudatio Funebris” (“Under Stige”), the latter in “The Altar and the Deer” (“Over Dianam”).

FERALIA was founded in 2018 by two Turin-based musicians, Khrura and Raijinous, eager to create a black metal project that was supposed to draw from the Norwegian tradition and at the same time evolve into a more modern dimension, blending rawness, melancholy and epic tones. After the pre-production phase of the first full-length album, drummer Ignotus Nebis and vocalist Tibor Kati (Sur Austru/Negura Bunget) joined in the band.
The first album, “Helios Manifesto”, recorded at Ossario Studio in Turin in 2019, was released in the spring of 2020. After the release of “Helios Manifesto”, the band immediately started working on new tracks. The band’s new record marks the entry into lineup of new singer/guitarist Erymanthon Seth (Apocalypse) and new drummer P. (Noise Trail Immersion, O).
Line-up:
Krhura – bass
Raijinous – guitar, synth, backing vocals
Erymanthon Seth – lead vocals, guitar
P – drums
