A cult name in the Italian underground, and particularly within Sicily’s distinctive extreme music scene, ULTIMA MISSA are finally set to release their long-awaited debut album, “Non Oltre il Sangue e lo Sperma”, 33 years after the project’s inception. Due out on December 8 through Inch Productions, the record draws on a sulphurous blend of metal and graveyard melodies, steeped in the sinister aesthetics of Italian horror cinema and the occult dark doom tradition. Fans of Paul Chain and Death SS, as well as the eerie atmosphere of 1970s Italian progressive rock, will find plenty to explore in this distinctive musical vision.

The origins of ULTIMA MISSA date back to 1993, when Agghiastru began developing his first dark metal project, originally named TENEBRA. The initiative soon split into two separate entities: INCHIUVATU, with a folk-inflected death/black metal direction, and ULTIMA MISSA, dedicated to the darker and more progressive side of the Italian underground. A series of demos and EPs followed, before the project entered a long period of silence.

Now revived with Agghiastru, Ossarium on bass and Faìdda on drums, alongside Taty Pirfìria (percussion and organ) and Maria Santissima (synthesizers and vocals), the band also feature contributions from Rosario Badalamenti, Lord Timpesta and Raimondo Sutera on guitar. The album will be available on LP, digipak CD, cassette and Stereo8.
