Ponte Del Diavolo announce 2025 European festival shows
Turin’s maestros of esoteric, doom-laden alchemy, PONTE DEL DIAVOLO, are set to cast their infernal spell across Europe in 2025. Following the colossal wave of support for their haunting debut, Fire Blades from the Tomb, the band is primed to ignite the continent’s most revered metal festivals with their unrivaled brand of black & doom metal.
PONTE DEL DIAVOLO bridges stark worlds with a sound that’s both ancient and avant-garde. With Elena Camusso’s (as Erba Del Diavolo) sepulchral vocals weaving through the dense labyrinth of dual basslines, the band’s sonic landscape is a masterful amalgam of rhythmic guitar, raw drumming, and dark wave influences. Their debut album has been lauded as a mastercraft in cultish doom metal with modern flourishes that summon the spirits of Electric Wizard and Darkthrone.
Fire Blades From the Tomb is available now via Season of Mist.

As they announce their 2025 festival dates, PONTE DEL DIAVOLO reminisce on last year’s album release and initial tours:
“2024 has been a wild ride and a very important year for the band. We played as much as we could around Italy with some shows abroad to promote “Fire Blades from the Tomb” and we are so proud and still in disbelief for all the support you showed to us. It’s impossible to put into words what this really means for the band and we cannot thank you enough for it. 2025 will be no less exciting and we will play in some of the major European festivals. We plan to add some rarities and surprises to our setlists, so brace yourself!” – Ponte Del Diavolo

PONTE DEL DIAVOLO bridges the gap between two separate worlds.
The Italian band proposes a Doom / Black metal sound with old-school roots, adding a modern and outside the box background. The female voice – with strong dark wave influences – is the lyric corpus of this strongly esoteric project. The solid presence of two bassists creates the massive foundation for the rhythmic guitar, everything marked by a raw and dynamic drumming.
Mystery of Mystery / Secret Live Session marked the quintet’s debut EP. It was recorded live and without editing at Dracma Studio with the producer L’Ossario in their home base of Turin in March 2020. “I” was released on the web by Iopan Records. It was soon followed by their second single, “The Wickedest Woman In the World”.
At the end of 2021, Ponte Del Diavolo recorded their second EP, Sancta Menstruis at Deepest Sea Studio in Turin with Danilo Battocchio. The first single, “The Unborn”, arrived in February 2022.
The band’s third EP, Ave Scintilla!, was also recorded in Turin. This time around, they reconvened at Dracma Studio with L’Ossario.
Prepare to cross over into the Italian dark arts.
