FOR MY DEMONS

Today, December 12, 2025 marks a new chapter in the journey of FOR MY DEMONS, a progressive dark metal band known as one of the most elegant and conceptually profound acts in the Italian alternative scene. The new single ‘9 Weeks’, released by Volcano Records & Promotion and available on all digital platforms, comes with a lyric video rich in symbolism and visual intensity, now streaming on the band’s official YouTube channel.

9 Weeks is a fragment of light and madness taken from the concept album Tristesse, inspired by the tormented life of Vincent van Gogh. The song tells the story of the nine weeks the painter spent in the famous Yellow House in Arles, where his encounter with Paul Gauguin soon turned into conflict, rupture, and silence. A crucial moment shaped by contrasting visions, colliding souls, art, and obsession. Musically, the track blends melodic elegance with narrative tension in a distinctive style that evokes the dark, introspective atmosphere of Katatonia, Soen, and Dream Theater, while filtered through a deeply personal sensibility. With its symbolic lyrical structure and layered musical composition, 9 Weeks stands as one of the most mature and expressive pieces by the band, uniting storytelling and emotional suggestion in a sonic form that transcends labels.

Volcano Records & Promotion is proud to present ‘Shades Of Past’, the new single by Italian progressive metal band FOR MY DEMONS, now available on all digital platforms.

Anticipating the upcoming album “Tristesse”, ‘Shades Of Past’ reveals the strength and character of a seasoned band that has been active on the Italian scene for several years and recently joined the Volcano roster.

Today, For My Demons return with renewed maturity and a distinctive sonic approach that blends progressive impulses with dark and introspective tones. The single is part of a broader concept dedicated to the life of Vincent Van Gogh, which the band is preparing to unveil. It tells the story of a fragile and troubled love, dominated by misunderstanding and guilt. Charity mistaken for sin, compassion turned into condemnation, betrayal, wounds, and miscommunication paint an oppressive scenario — like a nightmare that digs into the darkest corners of the human psyche. Shades Of Past is a deep and emotional track, and also a clear musical statement, combining solid instrumental foundations with haunting melodic vocal lines that leave a lasting mark.
