Italian black metal band VACUA will release their highly anticipated debut full-length album, "Mater", internationally on November 7th via Japanese label Hidden Marly Production.
VACUA comment on Mater:
"VACUA rise from the depths of underground, pagan, and esoteric Rome with their debut album "Mater". Following the release of their debut EP, “Mater” includes seven Black Metal tracks (and a brief Interlude) defined by a style that is both melodic and aggressive, featuring memorable hooks and relentless tempos. This time, the production is modern and no more raw/lo-fi (unlike the debut EP). The album reconnects us with Mother Earth and our essence as ephemeral beings, while also confronting the mistakes of our species. Constant violation of Mother Earth and Her consequential desperate self-destruction is the main theme, sung in Italian. It is also a tribute to those who worshipped Nature by glorifying It and offering themselves as earthly tribute—like the "Janare", the typical witches of Southern Italy."
Album track listing and cover art are as follows:
1. Falce dei Reietti
2. Dies Funeris Terrae
3. Dissolto
4. Agoraphobia
5. Interlude
6. Rantoli nel Buio
7. Trasmigrazione
8. Aura Glaciale
VACUA is a black metal band from Rome, Italy, formed in 2023. That same year, in December, they released their self-titled debut EP, delivering a raw medieval black metal sound with shades of DSBM and a dungeon synth outro. Lyrically, the work revolves around inner conflicts and the thirst for vengeance of a Janara—a witch figure rooted in Southern Italian medieval folklore. Throughout 2024 and 2025, VACUA shared the stage with several acts including Sociasylum (Estonia), Rats Will Feast (Finland), and Italian bands such as Wizard Master, Svart Vinter, Brainsore, and Black Motel Six. On October 15th 2025 they will open for Unholy Altar (USBM) in Pescara, Italy. On October 18th 2025, the band will perform at Rome Carnage Extreme Fest III, alongside headliners Desaster (Germany) and other Italian extreme acts including Infernal Angels, Dr Gore, Sonum, and Grief Prophecy. VACUA have recently signed with the Japanese label Hidden Marly Production for the release of their first full-length album, Mater, set to be released on November 7th 2025, on CD and across all digital platforms.
