There’s a great collective of artists gathered around us that we would like to deeply thank, such as Stefano Morabito for recording, mixing and mastering our music at his 16th Cellar Studio, Dema Novakova for the vision and the crafting of our artwork, Stephen Wilson for the artistry behind our logo and Tanya Montesano for our first band photo.

None of this would ever happen without you. See you soon at night, when we’re gathered.”

Bianca is an exploration steeped in the subversive fire of black metal, with a penchant for doom and atmospheric resonances, centered around a female identity that spans different dimensions, from an ethereal presence to a primal rawness.

The music was born in 2024 with a series of demos composed by β and Ͷ. ES (Hideous Divinity, Patristic) stepped in, shapeshifting the songs and giving the band a new form. Sathrath (Nocturnal Depression) joined the final recording sessions with his thunderous black metal touch.

Bianca’s first self-titled album is an enigmatic eight-step journey into the power of the human mind and the unconscious dimension as a messenger of precious insights for interpreting reality. A deep dive into the non-material aspects of human life and their transformative potential. No idea of religion, but a radical atheist and humanistic stance within the musical language of black metal, merging melodic nuances in an atmospheric embrace. A sorrowful struggle runs through the veins of Bianca’s music, chilling to the core, yet captivating and transporting the listener to uncertainty.

»Somniloquies« is the first single from Bianca’s debut studio record, which will be released on CD, LP and digital via Avantgarde Music on October 31st. Pre-orders will open in September 2025.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studios in January 2025.
