Having two bassists blesses Ponte Del Diavolo with the devilish ability to bridge the gulch between two nefarious corners of the underground. On their debut album, the Italian death dealers channel the evil spirit of doom and black metal into a towering new wave of dark art. Fire Blades from the Tomb is as cruel and mesmerizing as their home country’s infamous Devil’s Bridge. 

Fire Blades from the Tomb is out now on Season of Mist.

Watch Ponte Del Diavolo’s new bassist Kratom join his partner in crime Kruhura as they slither beneath the treacherous “La Razza”.

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 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 Tomb  forges 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.

Prepare to cross over into the Italian dark arts.

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. 

Fire Blades from the Tomb comes out Friday, February 16th. But you can listen to the entire album today on Season of Mist’s YouTube channel.

Ponte Del Diavolo are blessed with a taste for the dark arts. The hammering drum fills and sludgy riffs could send the blackest of hearts to the grave, but “Covenant” adds gloomy clarinet and an ominous foghorn of theremin to their dance with the devil.

Having two bassists blesses Ponte Del Diavolo with an earthshaking foundation. But Fire Blades from the Tomb plums the romantic decadence that throbs underground their home city of Turin. The video for “Demone” starts off as a sexy crime drama, only to slowly unravel into occult bloodlust. 

“Everything is nothing”, chants Erba Del Diavolo, luring you behind “Nocturnal Veil”. Her croon is so seductive that you might mistake her for Siousxie Soux. That is, until she bears her fangs with a bloodcurdling shriek.  

“Fire Blades From The Tomb is finally out!” says Ponte Del Diavolo. “We are happy to announce our first work for Season of Mist and it is an immense honor for us.

“In a relatively short time, we tried to unify two opposite musical worlds –  the most violent black metal and the solemnity of the deepest doom –  via a huge stream of consciousness. 

“The fruit of this union has led to a result we did not expect, but we are sure will touch the chords of many of you who will listen to it.”

Italian doom metal & dark wave maestros PONTE DEL DIAVOLO are set to embark on a captivating journey across Italy with the announcement of their Fire Blades From the Tomb release tour. The band is poised to bridge the gap between worlds, taking their unique blend of classic cultish doom metal infused with post-punk and dark wave to audiences across 11 unique dates in Italy, and one in Switzerland.

PONTE DEL DIAVOLO has already left a trail of anticipation for their upcoming album Fire Blades From the Tomb with the release of three singles so far. Demone wove a dark narrative inspired by esoteric themes and mysticism. They followed up with their second single Covenant with dark and doomy bass lines that swarm like a sky full of thunderclouds. With Nocturnal Veil, the band casts a deadly spell with gloomy clarinets, clanking cymbals and whip-cracking riffs.

Fire Blades From The Tomb is out February 16, 2024 on Season of Mist.

Ponte Del Diavolo are blessed with a taste for the dark arts. These Italians weld doom and black metal into a sleek but towering force that’s just as cruel as the infamously steep bridge that medieval peasants has to cross on the way to their home country.

The band teased then danced with the devil on their previous twosingles. Today, they’re pulling back the curtain on the more depraved part of their aesthetic.

Watch the bloody and burbling visualizer for “Nocturnal Veil”, which was created by Daniele Brancaccio:

“Nocturnal Veil” billows with gloomy clarinet. But the band’s new single really shows off their bad side. Cymbals clank like chains through a pitch-black dungeon, while the riffs crack with the patient speed of a whip or the pointed finger of a siren. 

“Everything is nothing”, Erba Del Diavolo chants, calling you into the void. Her croon is bewitching, beguiling and all-too-inviting.

“Let yourself be carried away by a dark mantra that brings with it images of annihilation”, says Ponte Del Diavolo. “Immensity overwhelms us, we are null”.

Early praise for Ponte Del Diavolo

“A rhythm section that sounds like thundering hooves; music that dangerously rings and swirls, like fleeing from something fatal” – No Clean Singing

“What strikes me most about the album is the sheer genre bending ability of this band. One minute, you think that you are listening to Doom Metal, and then turn the screw and another sound materializes” – Metal Temple

It’s fitting that PONTE DEL DIAVOLO are named after the “Bridge of the Devil”. The Italian band weld doom and black metal into a towering force that’s as cruel and unforgiving as the infamously steep road that medieval peasants had to cross on the way to their home country.

With the announcement of their very first album, Ponte Del Diavolo cast a delightfully gloomy shadow over the holiday season. Today, they’re letting the bad times roll into the new year by unveiling their second single.

Fire Blades From The Tomb is out February 16, 2024.

Watch the spellbinding video for “Covenant”:

“Covenant” swears off the conventional wisdom that sometimes less is more. After all, what’s better than a dark and doomy bass line? How about two dark and doomy bass lines that swarm like a sky full of thunderclouds.

“Covenant is a hymn to nature, a pact with the elements, a reconciliation with death” Ponte Del Diavolo says. “The video is a tribute to Turin, which we believe encapsulates all this in its magical and often decadent romanticism. It’s the song that has more ‘forays’ than the other tracks on the album. Theremin, synthesizers and clarinet (played by Lucynine, Andrea L’Abbate and Vittorio Sabelli respectively) can be heard between dark wave-inspired and typically doom parts. It is the first song born during the composition sessions and its refrain contains the lyrics that gave the album its title.”

Having two bassists is what gives Ponte Del Diavolo such an earthshaking foundation, though the hammering drum fills and sludgy riffs could send even the blackest of hearts to their grave. But “Covenant” adds some more gothic flourishes to their dance with death. Laid to rest by an ominous foghorn of thermin, the song ends with a spooky, spine-chilling whistle of synth.

“Surrender to the tomb”, Erba Del Diavolo beckons with  unflappable cool. Resistance is futile. Come join Ponte Del Diavolo on the dark side of the Italian arts.
