Italian folk-metal band STILEMA are ready to release a new single, “Senza Razza”, coming out on February 21st, via Agoge Records.

Following their first English single, “Pagan Army Unchained”, out in fall 2025, Stilema takes a leap back in time into the heart of Italian history. While the previous track was about a sci-fi rebellion against a futuristic dystopian society, “Senza Razza” is deeply rooted in historical reality: the Partisan Resistance within Rome’s suburban slums during Fascism. It’s a cry in Roman dialect that binds the blood shed in the past with the hunger of redemptions that still burns in some outskirts of the Italian capital today.

Stilema is an Italian band from Rome known for its unique blend of heavy metal, ethnic music (particularly Irish folk), Italian songwriting, anche symphonic soundscapes. In 2017, the band released its EP “Ithaka”, which title-track was
inspired by the eponymous poem by Cavafy.

Following the critically acclaimed debut album “Utòpia” – released in 2020 via Hellbones Records and nominated among the best folk metal debuts of the year by several webzine in Europe – in 2021 Stilema was named “Best Celtic Metal Band” by Italian website http://www.musicaceltica.it.

Stilema has performed numerous live shows both in Italy and abroad, including opening for major acts like Nanowar Of Steel.
