Diabula Rasa

Diabula Rasa is an Italian band that has carved out a unique niche within the folk metal scene, melding the spirited and historical tones of Renaissance and medieval music with the aggressive drive of heavy metal. Formed in Tuscany, Diabula Rasa has been known for their innovative sound since their inception in the 2000s, standing out through their use of traditional folk instruments such as the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and flutes which they blend seamlessly with electric guitars and a powerful rhythm section.

Their discography represents a vibrant journey through time, juxtaposing ancient melodies with contemporary metal, a testament to their creative experimentation and breadth. Following their eponymous album “Diabula Rasa,” which further consolidated their style and fan base, the band released "Ars Medioheavy," a record that showcases their versatility and commitment to a genre they have helped define. The album offers a theatrical flair, capturing the essence of medieval storytelling backed by robust metal riffs. Preceding these, “Tabula Rasa / Techno Gothica” added another layer to their sonic identity, hinting at electronic influences and demonstrating the group’s willingness to push the boundaries of folk metal. Diabula Rasa has not only captured the hearts of metal enthusiasts but also those interested in the historical aspect of their music, creating a bridge between the past and the present with their exhilarating performances and recordings.
