FUNERAL WITCHERY RELEASE "BEYOND THE LIGHT"

PRESS RELEASE:

FUNERAL WITCHERY – BEYOND THE LIGHT

LABEL: INVIMA RECORDS

RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 18th 2026

You are far from home and the darkness seems to stretch into forever. You have wandered deep into the desert night, dust at your feet and a thousand times a thousand stars above your head – scattered across the black velvet sky like ice shards, diamonds, doorways, eyes… The air is cold, bitter and sharp, biting at your lungs with each trembling breath, but there is a fire up ahead, flames dancing in the cruel wind. A voice seems to whisper to you from that oasis of warmth and light…an invitation, a temptation, a command…sensuous, poisonous, irresistible. And you are so very far from home…

Spawned beneath the blistering desert sun in Tucson, Arizona in 2020, Funeral Witchery are purveyors of fierce, unforgiving black metal. Everything about their music, their lyrics, their ideology is utterly uncompromising and intensely focussed. They are conjurers of nightmares and dedicated disciples of the dark, their creed a simple one – ‘Death will take you. Hell will keep you.’ After four independently released singles, the band have now joined the select ranks of InViMa Records for the release of their first full length album…Beyond The Light.

The power builds steadily as opening track, ‘Sheol’ is unveiled, a summoning of atmosphere, an invocation of ancient, primal darkness – and then all hell is unleashed, a savage vocal howling above a cavalcade of chaos. An impenetrable cloak of night descends with this initial onslaught and never lifts until the nightmare of Beyond The Light has finally passed. The ‘Wolfqueen’ tempts you into madness, a violent force rampaging through a landscape of haunting, desolate beauty, while ‘I Am The Tyrant’ casts you to your knees beneath its baleful gaze in a display of ironclad domination; riffs and drumbeats falling like hammer blows as the track thunders forwards with unstoppable force. ‘Nun Fucker’ is as direct, unflinching and blasphemous as its title suggests, steeped in wickedness and drowning in sin, and the rabid violence of ‘Beast Reich Occupation’, with its swirling solo like a kaleidoscope of razors, ensures that no-one leaves this hell ride unscathed or unscarred. The final proclamation of doom, the last rites for the light come with ‘Nemesis Divinus’, weighty and imperious, a triumphant march into the night leaving ravaged souls weeping in its wake. With Beyond The Light Funeral Witchery have delivered a fearsome first strike of unadulterated black metal might.

With its unnerving cover art, created by Zeinz and a sound that emanates bloodlust, dire cruelty and unspeakable knowledge, Beyond The Light will be sent forth by InViMa Records on September 18th. Pledge your allegiance and let Funeral Witchery lead you into the black.

BOSCO SACRO RELEASE "INHABIT"

PRESS RELEASE:

Supernatural Cat Records, the label operated by members of Ufomammut and the Malleus Rock Art Collective, welcomes Italian quartet BOSCO SACRO for the release of their second album, Inhabit, today unveiling the album’s details including a mesmerizing video for the title track.

BOSCO SACRO was formed in 2020 by Paolo Monti (The Star Pillow, DAIMON), Giulia Parin Zecchin (Julinko), Luca Scotti, and Francesco Vara (both formerly of Tristan da Cunha, with Vara also active in Altaj). Inspired by the sublime and restorative power of nature and its landscapes and driven by a shared belief in music as a healing and liberating force, they create immersive soundscapes where dreamlike atmospheres, slow-moving rhythms, and spiritual depth converge.

Since their inception, BOSCO SACRO have performed throughout Italy and Europe, appearing at festivals such as Brutal Assault, A Colossal Weekend, Frantic Fest, Curtarock, and Bear Stone. Their live performances have earned praise for their passionate, cathartic, ritualistic, and immersive nature, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive voices emerging from Italy’s contemporary underground scene.

BOSCO SACRO’s critically acclaimed debut, Gem, was recorded with producer Lorenzo Stecconi and released in 2023 via Avantgarde Music. In 2025, following an artistic residency at Villa Albrizzi Marini in San Zenone degli Ezzelini, the band released Live At Chiesa Armena via Go Down Records, capturing a performance recorded inside a striking 17th-century church.

BOSCO SACRO’s second studio album, Inhabit is a captivating exercise in sonic existentialism and a bold departure from their prior work. Entirely composed live in their rehearsal room and recorded by the band over a seven-day session with producer Lorenzo Stecconi, the album captures a raw, collective energy. Across eight interconnected tracks, the band crafts a modern ritual of ego dissolution and rebirth, weaving a diverse sonic tapestry where the crushing weight of doom and slowcore meets the weightless beauty of dreamgaze, ambient, and trip-hop.

Inhabit was recorded by BOSCO SACRO with producer Lorenzo Stecconi (Amenra, Zu, Ufomammut, Lento) at Daniele Onori’s AMM, Monteggiori Studio, immersed in the hills of Tuscany, mixed and mastered by Stecconi at Triple Sun in Rome.

The dialogue between the physical and the metaphysical is embodied by the album's artwork. The cover features Testa di Terra (Head of Earth), a striking raw clay sculpture by Italian artist Roberta Busato. Just like the music within, the sculpture is born from the soil, fragile yet enduring. Depicted with closed eyes, the face alludes to a deeply meditative state, serving as the ultimate visual incarnation of the album's concept: a bold invitation to step out of the noise of customary, ordered life, embrace the fertile void, and leap headfirst into a world where the future and the past exist all at once. Artwork from the regular edition reappears within the layers of the limited edition, connecting the two versions. The limited cover features an irregularly shaped cutout and holds four differently colored inserts; these, too, are concentrically die-cut to reveal the final layer, the hidden object emerging from within: the disc itself, an artifact to be unearthed and listened to. The inner sheets can be rotated randomly, ensuring that every single copy of the limited edition has a slightly different appearance.

The first preview of Inhabit arrives through its title track, which opens the album, delivered through a somber video created by Michele Canevari. The band reveals of the song, “‘Inhabit’ is a mantra born from a deep, deliberate, and obsessive search between the textures of a guitar loop and a mystical vocal melody. We took different paths, pushed boundaries, and ultimately landed on the sound that feels closest to our roots, yet new to us. Conceptually, it explores the paradox of human attachment and serves as an invitation to dissolve into the present moment.”

Immerse yourself in BOSCO SACRO’s “Inhabit” video now playing on YouTube HERE, and stream the song everywhere including Bandcamp HERE.

Supernatural Cat will release Inhabit on LP, CD, a Limited-Edition LP + CD bundle, and digital formats on November 6th. Preorders, merch, and presaves are all available at THIS LOCATION. Fans of Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, Lankum, Portishead, Massive Attack, Esben And The Witch, and Third And The Mortal, should not miss BOSCO SACRO.

Additional previews of the album will drop over the coming weeks.
