Walk in Darkness is an Italian gothic/symphonic metal band formed in 2015. The group is led by songwriter and guitarist Shaman, whose visionary compositions and philosophical lyrics drive the project. Vocalist Nicoletta Rosellini is the only member whose face is revealed, serving as the voice and face of the band. In contrast, the other members perform hooded and masked, emphasizing universal themes over personal identity. The band's sound blends heavy guitars, orchestral arrangements, and melodic depth. Over four studio albums they have evolved from pure gothic-metal into more unpredictable, emotive soundscapes.
Walk in Darkness stand as one of Europe’s most visionary and conceptual metal acts. Their music transcends the boundaries of gothic and symphonic metal, merging heavy riffs, cinematic soundscapes, and poetic storytelling into a unique experience that bridges art, philosophy, and emotion. Their faceless identity, prophetic lyrics, and deeply symbolic imagery create a complete artistic universe where the listener becomes part of a lucid, spiritual journey through the twilight of humanity.
Unlike traditional bands, Walk in Darkness build an immersive mythology — a fusion of sound and meaning that resonates with contemporary existential themes. Within the global metal landscape, they align with artists such as Heilung, Wardruna, or Sleep Token in their commitment to crafting not only music, but a distinct aesthetic and worldview.
Through this synthesis of gothic grandeur, symphonic emotion, and philosophical depth, Walk in Darkness represent the spiritual avant-garde of modern European metal — a cinematic reflection on humanity and its fading divinity.
