Format: LP / digital
Street Date: September 26th, 2025
Overview: OMICIDIO are the first incarnation of what would later become NIHILI LOCUS. It's 1989 and four very young musicians approach Metal and do it in an instinctive and violent way at the same time with a demo-tape of six songs that presents a very old-school Death Thrash Metal but that is already characterized by the dark magic that will be the trademark of the sound of NIHILI LOCUS.
Together with the new album "Semper", we will release the reissue of 1991 OMICIDIO demo-tape "Premature Exequie" on LP format.
The release has been completely re-mastered by Giuseppe "Buzz" Nicolò at Lost Soul Studio and feature a great cover created by the great Norwegian photographer Kjetil Karlsen. "Premature Exequie" is the definitive testimony of a primitive and obscure sound that has been able to create from these roots, the absolutely unique and uncompromising sound of NIHILI LOCUS.
NIHILI LOCUS, a name, a cult, the history of Italian Extreme Music.
NIHILI LOCUS, a name Doom and Black Metal fans are no strangers to.
They came from Turin area and were born from the band OMICIDIO, formed in 1989, with Massimo Currò (bs), Mauro Veronese (gt), Bruno Blasi (v) and Roberto Ripollino (dr). After the recordings of the demo "Premature Exequie" in 1991, the band change their name in NIHILI LOCUS and in 1992 Valeria De Benedictis (gt) joined the group who released quite soon the 7"EP "Sub Hyerosolima..." distributed by Obscure Plasma. In 1994 they released the concept tape "...Advesperascit..." which led them to have their first official contract with Boundless Recs, for the release of the MCD "...Ad Nihilum Recidunt Omnia" in 1996.
In the years to come the group's activity was very unstable, until 2009 when they found themselves in an essential formation with the original members Massimo Currò (bs), Mauro Veronese (gt), and Roberto Ripollino (dr). With this line-up, it was recorded "Mors" only available for free download online. In the following years, Terror From Hell released a collection of all the recordings up to 1996 on CD.
The last years was used by the band to the conception, creation and recordings of the new album "Semper", the release that will finally allow the band to reap the fruits of a career always characterized by a melancholic pathos embodied in a dark sonorous extremism.
"Semper", along with the reissue "Nihil Morte Certium" on vinyl, the reissue of OMICIDIO demo "Premature Exequie" on vinyl and the celebratory box "Ineffabilis Memoriae Regurgitatio", are scheduled for September 2025, all on My Kingdom Music
