progdolphin Between its trembling croons and its ungodly incantations, Ponte del Diavolo lands somewhere between a jam-laden, occult doom and punky black metal. Whatever you want to call it, Fire Blades focuses foremost on the sultry, slow burn that this eccentric act can imbue amongst their various identities. The devil lives in this wild ride. Favorite track: Nocturnal Veil.

mourner Ponte del Diavolo must have cast a spell on me. Or why am I so obsessessed with Fire Blades From The Tomb? It might be because of the mesmerizing quality of this album as a whole. Vocally it's firmly grounded in (mostly dark) wave and yes, Siouxsie Soux sure comes to mind. Add two great basses, rock, black and doom metal vibes and diverse and captivating songs and you'll see that you might get hooked as well. I love every minute of this outstanding debut album and it sounds just perfect. Magic! Favorite track: Demone.

alf42 Questo album dei Ponte del Diavolo per me è un capolavoro. Ci ho ritrovato influenze postpunk e darkwave. La voce della cantante Erba del Diavolo, è ammaliante, ipnotica e seducente... Riesce a stregare l'ascoltatore e ricorda a tratti Siouxsie and the Banshees ma al di là delle influenze, ha una sua forte personalità... La loro versione di The Weeping Song di Nick Cave e Blixa è fenomenale. auguro tutto il meglio a questa strepitosa band.
🖤 Favorite track: The Weeping Song.

Demone 05:00
Vive nascosto dentro al petto come un Dio disincarnato risvegliato dalla voglia sarà il coito più sublime. Sacro al figlio, l’imperfetto ribollente e affamato, oltrepassa quella soglia, è l’infante senza fine! è l’infante senza fine! risvegliato dalla voglia sarà il coito più sbulime! con gli artigli mi trafigge strappa gli occhi li divora vedo dentro la sua pancia nelle viscere i diamanti! il suo cibo è la tensione che fa frode all’intelletto invocandolo in canzone si contorce nel mio petto fruga, scava e cerca ancora ha le chiavi di ogni cella mi perfora le interiora tra le mani ha ogni stella! dissidente e sibillino il mio Febo scostumato con amore adulterino il mio cuore ha assediato risvegliato dalla voglia sarà il coito più sublime oltrepassa quella soglia è l’infante senza fine con gli artigli mi trafigge strappa gli occhi e li divora vedo dentro la sua pancia nelle viscere i diamanti il segreto li protegge il coraggio, la dimora

The colour you seek is in a deep cut where the flesh splits and the blood flows the colour you seek is in that apple you want but you are afraid to eat the colour you seek delicate as roses or the deadly one like lava burns like lava burns like mars Wearing horns! the colour you want transform your lips from mouth and flesh into a juicy and dripping fruit the red you crave is in that apple you want but you are afraid to eat you are afraid to eat! afraid to eat! it burns! Wearing horns!

La Razza 08:02
Come un ibrido d’amore e guerra, sei gravido. strisci in bilico oh! uomo stanco, bulimico! nascondi invano il tuo terrore in gabbie sature procrei, ti espandi senza onore insedi vanità! oh, non senti che non vi è salvezza, ipocrita! Pan ti vomiterà! tu sei già sterco e lui concimerà. tic tac chi è il prossimo? tic tac è un attimo il tempo è un brivido sei fermo in bilico. tic tac chi è il prossimo tic tac è un attimo la razza è in bilico sarà romantico. oh! non senti che non vi è salvezza, ipocrita! Pan ti vomiterà! tu sei già sterco e lui concimerà.

about

Ponte Del Diavolo bridges the gap between two separate worlds. After all, the band are named after the real “Bridge of the Devil”, a pointedly steep road that medieval peasants had to cross on their way to Italy.

Though formed out of a friendly jam session, the five members of Ponte Del Diavolo already made for quite the eclectic pairing when they officially banded together during the winter of 2020 in Turin, the finely cultivated Italian metropolis. Whereas most metal bands are spearheaded by dueling guitars, this one writhes on the slick-yet-scaly back of not one but two bassists.

Their debut album, Fire Blades from the Tomb, forges classic, cultish doom metal with modern bents of post-punk and dark wave. Lead single and opening track “Demone” is whipped along by a boiled black bassline. Heck, you could mistake Erba del Diavolo for Siouxsie Soux, the way she cooly flips between frantic talk-singing and bleak, seductive croons.

Cross over into the Italian dark arts with Ponte Del Diavolo.

about

Ponte del Diavolo Turin, Italy

The band proposes a Doom/Black metal sound with old school roots, adding a modern and outside the box background. The female voice - with strong wave influences - is the lyric corpus of this strongly esoteric project. The presence of two basses creates the massive foundation for the rythmic guitar, everything marked by a raw and dynamic drumming. This creates the atmosphere of Ponte del Diavolo. ... more
