Eleven years after their last album, the Turin-based ADVERSAM, a historical staple of the Italian Black Metal scene, return with a first glimpse into their forthcoming offering, “Daimon”, to be released on March 28th via Masked Dead Records. All music was recorded and mixed at Mkii Studio Recording, Turin, Italy, except the drums – they were recorded at Join This Order Studio. The mastering duties were handed to Richard Corvinus at Corvin Studios, Glastonbury, UK. All lyrics were written by Adversam, except “The Collapse Within” written by Helga Keturka. The cover artwork was crafted by Beatrixrain Art.

Best known for their acclaimed 1999 debut “Animadverte” (Scarlet Records), ADVERSAM’s force is all but spent: with “Daimon”, the band confirms its ability to evolve a style rooted in classic Black Metal while constantly regenerating through modern and original insights. The resulting sound is often suggestive in its expression, yet consistently fierce and visceral. Rhythmic speed remains the cornerstone of ADVERSAM’s style, expertly balanced by atmospheric, gloomy synths and elevated by a meticulous technical attention to details. Thematically, the lyrics of “Daimon” are inspired by the reflections of C.G. Jung and the intuitions of G. Rol. The album delves into the meaning of existence and the dark nature of humanity, questions the essence of evil and explores the vast potential of the mind and consciousness.

For fans of: Emperor, Abigor, Immortal, Dark Funeral, Handful of Hate.
