Italian psychedelic stoner/doom metal trio Cancervo announces new full-length album »III« and premieres first single »Sacrilegious Mass«!

Lombardy, Italy based psychedelic stoner/doom metal trio Cancervo has announced their third full-length album, »III«, which will see the light on March 29th, 2024 through Electric Valley Records.
Listen to the album’s first single »Sacrilegious Mass« below!
Says the band: “The sacrilegious mass celebrated in Val Vedra, is an ancient story about a herdsman and his rebellion against the conventions that required him to go down to the village for the celebration of Holy Mass. The brave man decided to create an altar and celebrate a sacrilegious mass that was interrupted by God. All the presents were engulfed in flames and bound for eternity to the underworld.”

Electric Valley Records is proud to announce that heavy riffers Cancervo have just signed for their third album!
Cancervo is the name of an iconic mountain in the heart of a valley rich of tradition and popular legends. In 2020 three local guys, charmed by the tale of the creature half dog and half deer who live on that mountain, create a power heavy psych trio. With 70’s heavy riffs and mystical moments, they tribute their own valley. The debut album (»I«) talks about local places and folktales. It will drag you between mystic mountains, rushing river, deathly gallery and murky village.
After the sold-out of the first album, Cancervo are ready to drag you once again in the occult tales of their lands. The sound, more and more inspired by the early 70s, abandons the psych moments of the first album in search of doom’s roots.

At five years from their formation and after two albums released (plus a third one that will see the light soon) the recipe of Cancervo does not change. The songs are always marked by those raw and violent traditions that live in their valley. Even if the times of »I« now seem far away, the desire to tell the story of their territory is the key to this project.
»III« represents a dark and gloomy moment for the band. The songs on the last album changed gig after gig and led to this new phase of the band. An increasingly characteristic voice is the master together with the inevitable and recognizable guitar riffs, which have always been the trio’s trademark. This new creature will drag you into the eternal clash between the sacred and the profane, a characteristic that has always populated the traditions of the valley dominated by Mount Cancervo.
