HESPERIA "Fra Li Monti Sibillini" [12" 2-LP, Silver Vinyl]
2025 - Atmospheric Pagan Black Metal from Italy
Detailed Description
Hesperia is the ancient and obscure name of the Italic lands ruled by the mythological sovereign Hesperus. After exploring the pre-Roman era with a tetralogy based on the Roman poem Aeneid and the Roman era with two volumes about Rome, it's now time for the Medieval Italic age: "Fra Li Monti Sibillini (Black Medieval Winter Over The Sibylline Mounts)" is a Medieval journey through the Sibylline Mounts, located in central-eastern Italy (Marche region, the region of Hesperus), filled with obscure legends and a truly dark history: heretics, witches, alchemists, necromants, goat fairies, the Inquisition, hidden villages/mountains/gorges, and... the sorceress Sibylla. Legend and history intertwine, real places and real stakes, legendary characters and real people, accompanied by Medieval Black Metal with significant '90s influences (Immortal and Satyricon in particular), with elements of authentic medieval music and ambient parts that will truly transport the listener to these obscure places. This album is your ultimate key and path to the subterranean realm beneath the Mounts of Sibylla.
