Dawn Of A Dark Age

Dawn of a Dark Age is the brainchild of Italian musician Vittorio Sabelli, a talented multi-instrumentalist who kicked off this avant-garde black metal project back in 2014. Hailing from the Abruzzo region, Sabelli (who goes by the moniker Eurynomos) blends ferocious black metal riffs with unexpected elements like jazz-infused clarinet solos, folk influences, and atmospheric soundscapes, creating a unique sound that's both brutal and experimental. He's released a series of concept albums, including the ambitious "The Six Elements" cycle, which explores themes of nature, history, and mythology through intense, genre-bending tracks.

More recently, Sabelli has delved into Italian cultural and historical motifs with releases like "La Tavola Osca," drawing inspiration from ancient Italic tribes and rituals. It's all self-produced, showcasing his skills on everything from guitars and bass to winds and percussion. If you're into underground metal that pushes boundaries, Dawn of a Dark Age is a hidden gem worth checking out—raw, innovative, and deeply rooted in its creator's heritage.
