HESPERIA - Picenum (True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance) CD (PREORDER)
NB! This is a preorder item - Releasedate is August 28th 2026 This winter & historical Black Metal is true Marchigian Black Metal! “Picenum (True Marchigian Black Metal Renaissance)“ is the natural continuation of “Fra Li Monti Sibillini”, expanding its concept to the entire Marche region (the title Picenum indicates the ancient name for a large part of this region). The album is set mostly in the late Middle Ages but also at the beginning of the Renaissance (here highlighted in its darker sides, experienced through the darkness of my region and the places where I was born). After a brief intro about the region’s ancient origins, the album is divided into 3 parts: • The first is dedicated to the history and the very dark legends of the region Marche. • The second is dedicated to the folklore and legends of my region. • The third and longest part is, in fact, a continuation that closes the circle with the previous album. Stylistically, the album has many similarities with the previous record (a Medieaval Black Metali n the vein of ‘90s) but adds some Renaissance parts and some ‘80s proto Black Metal passages. As you will notice, there are folk/ambient interludes as in the previous album. Line up: Hesperus - All vocals, instruments and effects • The ultimate testament to True Marchigian Black Metal. This is a deeply immersive, pitch-black historical journey that mercilessly welds ‘90s Medieval Black Metal ferocity with ‘80s proto-black cruelty. Complemented by sinister Renaissance arrangements and haunting folk/ambient interludes embedded into every track, it stands as an enthralling, unmissable masterpiece for all devotees of dark art • This album is your definitive path through the darkest lore of the Marche region, leading you from cursed Medieval and Renaissance fortresses straight into the grim and abyssal depths of the Sibylla’s cave once again... and this time, it is forever For fans of: Immortal, Ancient, Satyricon, Dead Can Dance Limited edition DIGIPAK CD (1000 COPIES MADE) with alternative cover/ layout - HAMMERHEART RECORDS 2026
