FERUM - Debut EP Out In December, Details Revealed

Italian death/doom metal trio Ferum will release their debut EP entitled Vergence on 14th December via Everlasting Spew Records. A morbid new creature arises from the Italian lands. Devoted to death & doom and carrying the torch of Derkéta, Cianide, Temple Of Void, Coffins and the likes, on their debut release Ferum delivers five hymns of filth.
The first Ferum regurgitation took place in Bologna during 2017 when Angelica and Samantha decided to start a band with the aim to play death/doom metal. Later joined by Matteo fulfilling the bass duties and stabilizing as a three pieces line-up, the band started the writing process for the first release with Samantha writing all the musics later arranged with Angelica and Matteo. Noteworthy is the fact that the band has already been pushing the live side of their music with the help of an additional guitarist and has already shared the stage with bands like Valgrind, Undergang and Gorephilia among the others.
The debut EP Vergence was recorded in August 2018 at Art Distillery Studios and is composed by five tracks of raw death metal entrapped in morbid slow parts, the whole engraved by Samantha's obsessive vocals. The EP also features a cover from Cianide (a major influence for the band) and his graced by the voice of Marko Neuman (Convocation, Dark Buddha Rising) who left a deep scar of painful expression to the record.
The lyrics explore mental and physical states of asphyxiating discomfort and desolation taken from everyday experiences. These states inspired also the concept for the cover art: an undefined face pierced by thick thorns and evaporated on a layer of dreary blackness. The picture was taken and processed by Inchiostro Lisergico through with the method called "etching", in which the design is incised and fragmented by acid, just as time does with reality.
Samantha explained: "Vergence is the result of my passion for the death/doom scene combined to the tightest line up I've ever been playing with, as we could have given this debut the proper stench only by sharing the same mindset and enthusiasm. Plenty of shows are in the works already so be on the lookout for Vergence to reach you soon." Tracklist and cover artwork are below. Link
