Italian extreme metal project IN LIMINE presents “Unfollow”, the long-awaited first single from the upcoming debut album “Inveteratus“, set for release in October 2025. With its blend of circular, infectious riffs, ferocious grooves and unexpectedly melodic vocals, “Unfollow” encapsulates the dynamic contrasts that define IN LIMINE’s sound, a dense, abrasive and yet surprisingly accessible approach that draws from thrash, death metal, metalcore and melancholic melodic passages.
Led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Matteo Galimberti (ex-Cripple Bastards), IN LIMINE was conceived as a studio project driven by deep personal expression and conceptual depth. “Unfollow” introduces listeners to a dystopian world in decline, echoing the broader themes of “Inveteratus” – a term that once meant endurance but now suggests a hardened, irredeemable state. Through its lyrics and sound, the song reflects on moral decay and the loss of critical awareness in a hyper-connected society addicted to conformity and consumerism.
Featuring throughout the entire album, George Kollias (Nile) delivers blistering yet nuanced drumming that pushes each track far beyond genre conventions, while Laur Lindmäe (Pridian) brings a gripping vocal performance whose wide range adds contrast and emotional impact.
Recorded across multiple sessions between 2022 and 2024, “Inveteratus” was produced with meticulous attention to detail. All guitars and bass were recorded by Matteo Galimberti and later reamped at Domination Studio by Simone Mularoni, who also handled the mixing and mastering in July 2024. The result is a finely balanced sonic landscape: raw yet articulate, violent yet conceptually refined.
Thematically, the album explores the cyclical nature of time, transformation and cultural decline through a symbolic and visual lens. From Greek deities like Kairòs and Kronos to fractured sundials and crumbling clocks, every element – both sonic and visual – contributes to a broader meditation on time, change and the failure to evolve.
IN LIMINE’s debut is as thoughtful as it is visceral — a work for fans who seek more than just sonic aggression. For admirers of Death, Slayer, Morbid Angel and Lamb of God, “Unfollow” is a compelling introduction to a band that refuses to follow trends and instead crafts its own threshold.

IN LIMINE is the brainchild of Italian guitarist and composer Matteo Galimberti, who began shaping the project’s musical identity in the late 2010s. Originally conceived as a collaborative band, IN LIMINE evolved into a studio-based initiative after internal reshuffling driven by a clear creative vision and a commitment to meaningful expression through metal music.
The project name, taken from the Latin “in limine” – meaning “on the threshold” – reflects a fascination with transformation, uncertainty, and the psychological space between what was and what is yet to be. This conceptual tension mirrors the music’s emotional intensity and genre-defying sound.
After initial setbacks during the pandemic, Galimberti partnered with bassist Simone Storti, later involving international session musicians to bring the material to life. The drums were performed by George Kollias (Nile), while vocals were entrusted to Laur Lindmäe, whose expressive delivery added depth and versatility to the songs.
Compositionally, IN LIMINE’s music originates from instinctive guitar riffs and arpeggios, later structured into songs that fuse aggression and melancholy. The writing process spans years of introspective work, fueled by Galimberti’s eclectic musical influences and a strong desire to avoid formulaic emulation. Rather than chasing trends, the project aims to offer something authentic, artistically coherent and emotionally resonant.
With no plans for live performances at present, IN LIMINE operates as a studio-focused creative endeavor — a boundary-pushing entity that crafts metal not just as sound, but as narrative and reflection.
