Litania

Litania is a unique doom/hindustan psych band from Italy and Serbia, known for fusing heavy drone-based doom metal with the spiritual depth of Indian classical music. Their sound features thick, hypnotic riffs combined with traditional Indian instruments like sitar, dilruba, harmonium, and tanpura, creating a ritualistic and immersive atmosphere. Their debut self-titled album, released in October 2025 on Heavy Psych Sounds and Subsound Records, showcases this blend with eight evocative tracks, including "Veil of Illusions," "Ghunghru," and "Manasi Devi"—each song weaving together intense guitars and ancient Hindustani influences for a sonic journey that feels both heavy and transcendent.

The band’s approach is deeply inspired by ancient Indian ragas, bringing a mystical and hypnotic element rarely heard in doom metal. Litania’s music is a fresh, dark, and spiritual take on the genre that invites listeners into a textured world where psychedelia and ritualistic doom collide. Their debut album marks an exciting new chapter for the band, bridging cultures and sounds with a powerful and mesmerizing blend that’s captivating fans of heavy psych and doom alike.
