From the damp mists of the Genoese harbor, where iron rusts like memory and the stones seem to hold back buried voices, emerge the Sarvaega: a gothic-doom metal trio born in 2025, already shrouded in an aura of foreboding and creative decomposition.
Their debut record, “POSTUMO”, is not just an album: it is a ritual exhumation. It will be released in physical format on June 5th, 2026 by Black Widow Records and presented live during the II edition of the ARS METAL MENTIS DOOMFEST, at Crazy Bull in Genoa, as if the city itself demanded the return of what had been buried too soon.
Sarvaega — voice, bass, and the dark fulcrum of the project — together with Damiano Logozzo on lead guitar and Zazza on percussion, reassemble the bones of a previous project, shattered and then put back together under a new aesthetic will. To this nucleus is added the spectral presence of Darth Nevis on rhythm guitars and sitar, while the synths of Simone Carbone lay a funereal veil over the entire soundscape.
“POSTUMO” contains seven original compositions and a Black Sabbath cover reinterpreted through the lens of Coven, as if two occult eras shook hands in a timeless cemetery. The result is a sound that bleeds classic gothic metal, yet is infected by a doom that smells of wet earth and local cult, where echoes of Type O Negative, Cathedral, Paul Chain and Death SS emerge like apparitions through cracks in the sonic structure.
Sarvaega do not merely play: they conjure. And what they conjure does not always wish to return.
