Infernal Poetry

The Profile

Infernal Poetry were an Italian death metal band from Ancona, active from 1996 to 2014, known for a twisted, experimental take on extreme metal. Their key releases include Not Light But Rather Visible Darkness, Beholding the Unpure, and Nervous System Failure.

Reviews highlight their Italian origin, a style weaving death, black, heavy and thrash elements, theatrical vocals, and a distinctive cover of Iron Maiden’s Fear of the Dark on Beholding the Umpure/Unpure. Guitarist Daniele Galassi is mentioned as author of a humorous article about starting a band.

One review hails Infernal Poetry as original and wildly genre-bending, moving between death, black, heavy and thrash with theatrical vocals. The focus is on Beholding the Unpure/Umpure, which even closes with an Iron Maiden cover reworked in their style. The band’s Italian roots are celebrated. Strong recommendation for adventurous metal listeners.
