Italian atmospheric black metal band SVART VINTER will release their sophomore studio album “Isvind” on May 30th, 2025 via Non Serviam Records.
SVART VINTER unveil the official video for the first single “Of Cold And Grief”.
“With its chilling atmosphere and relentless intensity ‘Of Cold And Grief’ paints a picture of a world plunged into eternal winter, where light is fading, and the cold is the only constant companion. This track is an exploration of the raw, unyielding nature of grief, death, and the solitude that follows. It is a journey into the heart of winter, where the cold is not just a season, but a reflection of inner torment,” comments the band.

Svart Vinter deal with Non Serviam Records
1/02/25
SVART VINTER have just inked a deal with Dutch label Non Serviam Records.
Founded in Rome in 2021 by members of the doom/death metal band Veil Of Conspiracy, they draw inspiration from the classic Norwegian black metal scene of the 90’s.
SVART VINTER’s sound is characterized by haunting melodies, cold, sharp riffs, and a powerful, relentless rhythm section. Their lyrics delve into themes of nature, isolation, and existential struggle, exploring both the beauty and the darkness of the natural world and the human condition. Their music is more than just a reflection of black metal’s harsh sound – it’s a journey through darkness, atmosphere and emotion, a tribute to the genre’s past while looking toward its future.
The band comments: “We are thrilled to officially announce our signing with Non Serviam Records. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in our artistic journey, and we are excited to bring you new music and projects under their incredible support. Stay tuned for more info.”
Non Serviam Records’ owner Ricardo Gelok enthuses: “The dark and melodic black metal sound of ‘Isvind’ was a real pleasant surprise when i hear the songs for the first time. I have listened to this album a lot, that’s how much I liked the new album. This is a band that knows how to write good music and turn it into a good production too. I’m happy to have Svart Vinter at Non Serviam Records.”
SVART VINTER will release their sophomore album “Isvind” later this year.
SVART VINTER are:
Andrea Maggioni – Vocals
Luca Gagnoni – Rhythm and Lead Guitars
Emanuela Marino – Rhythm Guitars
Jacopo Simonelli – Bass
Luca Tiraterra – Drums

Dreariness Present “Exhale” Official Video
28/10/2022
DREARINESS universe is enriched with a new decadent jewel: the official video of “Exhale”.
Greatly realized by Sanda Movies you can see it at https://youtu.be/lboJBVVGVJ0
The result is a musical and filmic masterpiece full of torment and despair in a way that is so hauntingly beautiful that it hurts.
Here is what the singer TENEBRA says about “Exhale” and its video:
“Exhale” is the reconciliation with reality that is pleasant and horrible at the same time. We will meet the overcome pain again, always, in this existence. The experience, however, has taught us to let ourselves go, forgive us and forgive. We are what we are and we must accept ourselves, learn to live with our past to improve ourselves in the present, in the future.
The video accompanies us, delicately, on the tips, like a real dance, at the end of a torment. Hugging us, hugging. The price of resilience is the total desensitization of the feelings as well as from the pain”.
“Monstrum” out in October
26/08/2022
monstrum[s. neutral, Lat.] – Term corresponding to “monster”, sometimes also used in Italian contexts with meanings which were proper to the Latin language, of prodigy, portentous fact or phenomenon, exceptional, both in a positive and negative sense, also referred to a person who reveals qualities, good or bad, going beyond the limits of normality, but without the detrimental connotations that monster acquired in modern use.

https://show.co/ncymfLxBefore We Vanish is available now!
15/04/2022
“Before We Vanish” is finally out!Behind this album there are years of chaos, hard work and acceptance. We tried to reach you with the pure essence of Dreariness with these 6 tracks: words and emotions have embraced the notes in an obsessive dance made up of emotions and awareness. A work that has definitely united us in a strong embrace. We would like to thank many people without whom this album would not have been possible. First of all, the new entries in the line-up: Roberto Mascia, a friend and a brother, for years our producer, has given all to this album, an excellent production, a motivator in the studio, and now also a great presence in the line-up with his voice, duet with Tenebra. Luca Tiraterra, a formidable drummer, a professional, he was able to play everything that was written at a distance by Torpor, enriching it with his personal style, he is irreplaceable for us. Valerio Libera, an incredible presence in recent years, who has provided many ideas during the work, without him the songs would not be what you can listen to today, and also enriched our work with some incredible noise guitars. Federico Rinaldi, for a completely handmade artwork, creating a small piece of art that fully embodies the feelings of this album. And who has believed in us in the last year, Francesco of My Kingdom Music, without whom all this would not have been possible in all its beauty.
We really hope you enjoy our work, and we hope to see us live soon, in the meantime you can listen to “Before We Vanish” here:
