about
With La Porta Ermetica, a new supergroup in the Italian underground scene has been formed that is dedicated to ritual and occult music. Their debut release “Si Sedes Non Is” caused a stir with its dark, mystical atmosphere and clear thematic direction. On the successor, the tape “La Bugia”, which was released a short time later, they continue this concept and pay tribute to the book of poems of the same name by the Marquis Massimiliano Savelli Palombara, an occult-inspired polymath in the 17th century. Inspired by alchemical and hermetic traditions, the project refers both with its name and through its sound experiments to the magical door of the Roman Villa Palombara, which was also designed by Palombara – and, with the appropriate receptivity, acts like an auditory portal to an unknown dimension. The band consists of experienced members of the Italian underground scene(s), including Claudio Giammarini (Ain Soph, Circus Joy, Malato), Adriano Vincenti (Macelleria Mobile Di Mezzanotte, Cronaca Nera) and Devis Granziera (Teatro Satanico). Reinforced by Elisa Pambianchi and now also Martino Cappelli, who have just launched their new band project Dear Company, they succeed in using traditional instruments, ritual sound structures and a cinematic aesthetic to create a timeless atmosphere that is deeply rooted in Italian esotericism.
